2. PCB Component Staking and Press-Fit Assembly Jig
Integrating this double-acting compact cylinder into a high-density electronics assembly machine to deliver precise, controlled insertion force for press-fitting micro-connectors onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs).
Problem SolvedSpace limitations on multi-station rotary indexing tables make standard pneumatic cylinders too bulky, yet assembly requires a guaranteed, repeatable mechanical force for reliable press-fit connections without damaging the board.
