Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic product processing and automation equipment technology, specifically to a device for batch placement of electrical connector pins. Background Technology

[0002] The electronic connector pin batch insertion device achieves automated pin feeding, positioning, and insertion through mechanical structures, sensors, motor drives, and control systems. It aims to improve the efficiency, accuracy, and consistency of connector production. Its technology integrates mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, and automation control, and is a key piece of equipment for the intelligent transformation of connector manufacturing. Traditionally, connector pin insertion is done manually. Since connector pins are arranged in rows, manual insertion one by one is inefficient. Manual operation is also susceptible to fatigue and skill differences, leading to pin position misalignment, insufficient or excessive insertion depth, and causing faults such as poor contact and short circuits. Therefore, we propose the electronic connector pin batch insertion device. Utility Model Content
