Connector Seating Machines

Maximize Quality, Yield and Savings

Our connector seating machines process compliant pin connectors and can handle the most demanding applications from daughter cards to mid-planes and back-planes. Our premier compliant pin, solder-free insertion press fit machines offer quicker, more reliable and less operator intensive processing. Fast, simple product presentation with full control and monitoring of force, distance and speed results in higher quality, improved yield and greater cost savings. Plus, each press is programmed and run via a PC with all product, tool and process information conveniently stored in a database. When operating the press fit machine, all necessary adjustments to the press stroke are completed automatically without intervention. Imagine how much scrap and rework from common operator errors this will prevent.

Introducing SensiPress Technology

The sensible solution to reducing bent pins in press fit applications

CHALLENGE

High performance connectors with higher pin densities and smaller pin tails are now more common.

Industry Trend

Smaller pin sizes

CHALLENGE

Due to mechanical noise, small bent pins can be difficult to sense

Good Press Cycle Scenario

TE Connector Press Fit machines are designed to measure press force to determine successful press cycles.

No SensiPress

With SensiPress

Bent Pin Scenario

SensiPress technology enables TE Connector Press Fit machines to more accurately measure press force and halt the seating cycle if it detects early contact with the tool.

Value of SensiPress

As little as 3 lbs of force can crush small pins.

Value of SensiPress

We optimized our load cell positioning and isolated the force sensors to eliminate excessive force noise.

Value of SensiPress

We can now eliminate excessive force noise, making it easier to detect bent pins and stopping the press cycle before damaging expensive PC boards.

SENSIPRESS detects bent pins and cancels press cycle

Field Installed, Servo-controlled SensiPress Upgrade

Available on BMEP, MEP, CBP and CMP models from TE Connectivity.

Retrofits to select machines can be made on-site by a trained TE Field Service Engineer.

No additional software is required and installation takes only a few hours to complete.
