AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, manual cutting and assembly are complex and error-prone in the automatic assembly process of pin headers, making it difficult to achieve efficient automation.

Method used

Design a component supply device, including a frame, a conveying device and a cutting device, which directly supplies the pin section to the pick-up position of the automatic assembly machine by cutting continuous material in real time during the conveying process, avoiding separate processing and separate conveying, and using the assembly head for automated assembly.

Benefits of technology

It simplifies the assembly process of pin headers, reduces human error, improves the economy and reliability of automated processing, enables flexible supply of pin headers of different lengths, and avoids the complexity of manual assembly.

Abstract

An apparatus (150) for supplying components (197) to an automatic assembly machine (100) is described, wherein the components (197) are provided in the form of a continuous material (295). The apparatus (150) has (a) a frame (252); (b) a conveying device (260) attached to the frame (252) for conveying the continuous material (295) along a conveying line to a pick-up position; and (c) a cutting device (270) configured to cut off a section (296) at a front end of the continuous material (295), wherein the cut-off section (296) represents a supplied component (197). An assembly system (BS) having such a component supply apparatus (150) and a method for feeding an automatic assembly machine with components (197) cut off from a continuous material (295) are also described.
