Apply Compliant Pin onto large PCBs
The AEP 6T Automatic Electric Press provides the proven force control capabilities and quality assurance of the ASG line in an automatic press.
The automatic pressing capabilities of the AEP 6T provide greater control and simplified processing to help improve quality, lower rework and prevent rejects. This provides users with lower true applied cost and higher end profits.
Capable
The AEP 6T was designed to apply compliant pin connectors to a wide range of PCBs. It is
fully capable of handling the most demanding applications today from daughter cards to midplanes
to back-planes. With board capacity up to 30 x 36in. [760 mm x 910] and a press force
up to 6 tons [53 k], the AEP 6T is focused at all but the largest board applications. The AEP 6T
can also hold up to 12 insertion tools and uses a lower support fixture.
Quality
Compliant pin technology has distinct advantages versus through hole solder products. One
key advantage is the ability to monitor and control the press cycle in real-time to provide 100%
quality assurance. The AEP 6T gives your operation the ability to maximize this advantage with
a higher quality, higher yield and lower applied cost production line
The key is the ability of the AEP 6T to precisely and accurately apply each connector to the pre-programmed
force, height and speed requirements. Each parameter can be individually programmed
for each connector. Connectors can be pressed to height or force based upon their
individual specifications. If an error is encountered during the press stroke, the cycle is
stopped immediately to help prevent damage to the PCB and allow for the minimum amount of
re-work. This allows the AEP 6T to detect problems and avoid damage to the PCB due to
common errors such as PCB holes out of tolerance (too big or too small), missing connectors,
improper connectors used and, in some cases, bent pins.
