The PF-6T operates on a servo-driven closed-loop control platform capable of monitoring force and displacement in real time
Absolute EMS has recently added the SASinno Americas PF-6T high-precision connector press-fit system at its Silicon Valley manufacturing facility.
This new machine has several features, which include a tightly controlled, solder-free connector insertion process designed to improve reliability, repeatability, and traceability in complex electronic assemblies.
By using press-fit technology to insert fisheye pin connectors directly into printed circuit boards (PCBs), the PF-6T eliminates the thermal stress typically associated with traditional soldering processes.
According to the company, the upgrade will provide customers with improved connector reliability, reduced risk of heat-related PCB damage, faster installation times, and lower risk of rework due to connector misalignment or incorrect insertion force.
The PF-6T operates on a servo-driven closed-loop control platform that monitors force and displacement in real time. The system delivers positioning precision of ±0.02 mm and pressure accuracy within ±1 percent, enabling highly consistent insertion results across production runs. Integrated SPC data tracking and real-time pressure-displacement curve monitoring also provide enhanced process visibility and documentation.
This machine is designed for various industries, including industrial, automotive, and high-performance electronics. It provides support to up to 580 mm by 900 mm PCB. Also allows programmable control over insertion speed, pressure, stroke, and positioning profiles
This flexibility is expected to support rapid product introduction and scalable high-mix manufacturing programs.
