Introduction to plug-in machines

A plug-in machine is a mechanical device that automatically inserts some regular electronic components (i.e., “automatic plug-in machines”) into the conductive holes of a printed circuit board.

Advantages of automatic plug-in machines

1. Improve installation density;

2. Improving vibration resistance;

3. Enhancing frequency characteristics;

4. Improve labor efficiency;

5. Reduce production costs.

component

1. Circuit system: The automatic plug-in machine belongs to the high-precision and cutting-edge equipment of mechatronics integration, and its various functions are uniformly coordinated and controlled by the internal CPU. The action report results are fed back by sensing elements such as photoelectric switches or Hall elements or encoding.

2. Air circuit system: supply pneumatic mechanisms for various parts.

3. X-Y positioning system (with work fixture).

4. Plug in head component.

5. Bend and shear the anvil base.

6. Automatic calibration system. The Universal plug-in machine relies on light sensing, with Panasonic and TDK cameras capturing it.

7. Automatic retractable board system.

8. Sequencing machine and component stack.

9. Component detector.

10. Alignment correction system.

Condition requirements

Environmental requirements: Temperature: 15 ℃~35 ℃.

Humidity: not greater than 75% RH.

Requirements for compressed air: pressure 90PSI, flow rate 2.75, air quality: clean and dry.

Requirements for electricity: AC: 2000/230V 6.25A 50/60HZ.

Requirements for working PCB boards:

1. Size: 100× 80mm-480× 400mm thickness=0.8-2.36mm.

2. There are positioning holes parallel to the horizontal axis of the machine workbench.

3. The screen printing is clear and does not deviate from the hole position.

Operation method

1. Workwear cuffs require cuffs, work shoes should be slip resistant, and high heels should not be worn.

2. When working next to the rear material stack of the machine, the STOP key must be pressed to make it light up.

3. Female workers are required to wear a headscarf and have their long hair curled up. Male workers are not allowed to wear a tie and are prevented from entering the machine during work.

4. The machine is operated by one person and it is strictly prohibited for multiple people to operate simultaneously.

5. During work, use both hands to mount and dismount the board. When repairing components inside the machine, use pliers or tweezers (axial components). Cooperate with both hands and operate the control panel after leaving the plug-in area.

6. Before starting the machine, be sure to remove all tools and debris from the machine workbench.

7. It is prohibited to put any items on the workbench during work to avoid damaging the machine.

8. If the machine suddenly stops for unknown reasons during work, do not extend your hand below the plug head.

9. When there is a plug-in error in normal production, do not extend your hand under the plug-in head.

10. For automatic loading and unloading machines, it is prohibited to reach under the feeding bridge during normal production.

11. Understand the movement area of the machine’s tabletop to prevent collisions.

Plug-in machine classification

Jumper plug-in machine

The jumper plug-in machine can selectively insert electronic components into the conductive through-hole of the printed circuit board in a standardized manner.

Connected horizontal plug-in machine

The conjoined horizontal plug-in machine is a high-speed, high-precision and high-performance equipment. It is a new generation of horizontal conjoined machine independently developed and produced by our company. It combines the essence of our second generation sequential layout machine and horizontal plug-in machine into one machine. It can arrange different types of tape braiding elements (carbon film resistance, diode, cylindrical capacitor and other elements) on the material clip of the chain according to the set program sequence for the use of plug-in heads. This device fixes the head of the plug-in horizontally and is moved by X and Y mechanisms to achieve precise plug-in in various areas of the PCB board. The angle of the plug-in is achieved by rotating the turntable. This series of control and operation software is also independently developed by our company, and all operations are controlled by a single computer.
