A new automatic insertion machine, delivering superb levels of speed, flexibility and functionality, is now available from Tyco Electronics. Specifically designed to provide superior performance and versatility, and incorporating several unique features - including a quick change mounting fixture for a variety of insertion heads - the floor-standing device reduces cycle times, is perfectly suited to large board sizes or high production volumes, and represents a significant step forward in insertion technology.
Unlike any other component insertion machine, Tyco Electronics' P300 can operate with up to three insertion tools, for three different products, delivering unrivalled levels of flexibility and cost-effectiveness.
Incorporating a sophisticated in-line handling system, and semi/fully automatic transfer belt for loading and unloading - the advanced device also offers optional stepper or AC servomotors for x-y table functionality, and a sophisticated insertion head for significantly reduced cycle times.
With a maximum insertion area of 400 x 600mm, the ultra-reliable P300 features optical sensors for automatic position correction, force monitoring of every cycle, and advanced PCB thickness measurement with adjustment of insertion depth, to guarantee consistent, high-quality insertions.

With a PCB turning unit for simple insertion on the solder or component side, the P300 has a standard SMEMA interface enabling easy integration into PCB transfer systems, or use with standard PCB input/output buffers.
Incorporating a product-specific insertion tool, composed of an insertion head (upper tooling), and anvil (lower tooling) and a product feeding mechanism, the P300 also features a PCB holder interface defined according to the specific application.
A wide range of pneumatic or motor driven heads are available for Tyco Electronics' - or a competitor's - products, and the machine provides three alternative methods of programming depending on the application requirements - offline on a connected PC, by entering co-ordinates on the control panel, or by converting CAD data.
With a maximum output of 180 pins per minute at a pitch of 2.54mm, the P300 features a number of optional accessories, enabling easy adaptation to the most varied of manufacturing tasks.
