Increased production rates from fastener press
The mid-range Pemserter Tech2t automatic press for installing self-clinching fasteners offers increased production rates and improved insertion quality
The fasteners can be installed in boards as thin as 1.53mm.
Among their production and cost advantages, ReelFast SMT spacers/nuts: reduce the risk of damage to boards (and resulting scrap) that may occur when improperly installing fasteners with offline equipment; reduce handling of loose parts to deliver labour savings; and speed assembly by eliminating secondary operations.
Threaded types are available in sizes 4-40 to 8-32 and M3 to M4 and through-hole (nonthreaded) types in sizes 0.116in, 0.143in, 3.6mm and 4.2mm.
All types are offered in lengths from 0.065 to 0.375in and 2 to 10mm.
Tape-and-reel packaging conforms with industry standards and preferences for other surface mount components.
Each reel carries up to 1500 parts, depending on fastener size.
