ABSTRACT:
A connector pin inserter feeds and separates continuous, integrally formed connector pins from a belt-like carrier, and presses and thereby inserts the separated connector pins into through holes of a printed circuit board. The type of printed circuit board is detected and press-inserting conditions are determined for controlling the pin inserting operation, based on data relating to the board thickness, press-inserting position, pin size, and insertion pitch, corresponding to the detected type of printed circuit board, and provided to a press-inserting mechanism. Moving conditions are supplied to an X-Y positioning table which sets the position of the printed circuit board relative to the press-inserting mechanism for pressing the connector pins into the appropriate through holes of the printed circuit board in a sequence of program-controlled operations. A cam link mechanism drives the mechanical elements for separating a predetermined number of connector pins from the carrier, for pressing the appropriate connector pins into corresponding holes of the printed circuit board, and for intermittently feeding the carrier in accordance with the sequentially controlled operations.
