Notes: |
Worldwide installed base. Machines have been produced for over 15 years. Custom machine configurations are available, including special clinch sets. Simple head and feed concept never releases the component during insertion. |
Worldwide installed base. Machines have been produced for over 15 years. Custom machine configurations are available, including special clinch sets. Simple head and feed concept never releases the component during insertion. |
Uses a weak component transfer concept which releases and transfers the component four times prior to insertion. Feed bowls are not attached to the machine and are easily disturbed, causing down time. |
Extremely slow and expensive. Spare parts are extremely high priced ad have long lead times. |
Unreliable, and only available with the Radial Lead Inserter, resulting in poor throughput for both the eyelet and the Radial Inserter. |
Extremely slow machine with a very weak positioning system. Supplier is inexperienced with auto insertion machine export and support. |
