Measuring the height of pressed-in pins (Press-Fit Technology)

In addition to high accuracy with miniature dimensions, the production of electronic components also requires high speed processes that provide the highest quality. Therefore, many production steps in this area are highly automated. The company Automationpro has developed a machine that inspects the height of pressed-in contact pins on PCBs (Press Fit Technology) inline immediately after the pressing process. If the pins are not completely pressed through the openings, it is not possible to establish contact with other components, which may cause failure. In addition to high accuracy with miniature dimensions, the production of electronic components also requires high speed processes that provide the highest quality.

In addition to high accuracy with miniature dimensions, the production of electronic components also requires high speed processes that provide the highest quality. Therefore, many production steps in this area are highly automated. The company Automationpro has developed a machine that inspects the height of pressed-in contact pins on PCBs (Press Fit Technology) inline immediately after the pressing process. If the pins are not completely pressed through the openings, it is not possible to establish contact with other components, which may cause failure.

In the Automationpro application, inline inspection follows the press-in operation. It identifies incompletely inserted pins that could prevent contact with other components.

The profile sensor scans the PCB in three dimensions. A rotary table transfers it from pressing to scanning, and an actuator moves the scanner across the board.

The encoder triggers the line scanner to keep profile spacing uniform. The example describes 1,280 points per profile and a scan within 7 seconds, depending on that process cycle.
