Connector Pin Height Measurement

Product used: LAL500 series linear, LAR500 series linear rotary

Objective: Flexible Insertion Systems, for press fit and solderless interconnects on PCB boards. Fitting contact pins into PCB boards with high speed and the optional ability to choose orientation using LAL500 & LAR500. Customer needed a faster and more flexible Solution. So far they had to turn the board to change pin orientation.

Solution: With the LAL500, SMAC achieved a profile below 200ms. With the LAR500, customer can choose pin orientation on the fly, pin by pin.

Connector Pin Height Measurement

Product used: LCA25 series linear and LCS50 series linear slide

Objective: Customer wanted to replace ball Screw & LVDT arrangement, which was the slowest part of the process in their testing machine. Also the spring loaded LVDT did not offer repeatability that they were looking for. They needed devices that are high speed and precise with flexibility in programming.

Result: Higher speed, higher throughput, higher repeatability, more time for more checks to be added.
