Delrin Plug Insertion Machine

A Midwest supplier of electronic components approved and received a Delrin Plug Feed, Escapement and Insertion System that was then integrated with an automated, plc programmed, X-Y Table designed to insert plugs into connectors with a pre-set number of lead holes. The machine is built with the capability of inputting various pre-programmed plug combinations. The process insures accurate connections of various wire harnesses used in automotive equipment electrical systems.

Action Feed Systems provided design, manufacture, assembly and debug of the part feeding, escapement, and insertion portion of the system. Tooling components included high wear bronze alloy machined to tight tolerances, Festo Pneumatics and hardened, spring loaded escapement jaws.

As so many manufacturers want to speed up production, increase quality, reduce repetitive injury risks and generally become more efficient, Action Feed Systems fills the niche 'small automation' market as a logical addition to its part feeding design and fabrication activity.

In an extremely competitive market, automation is the key to reaching productivity goals. In fact, many manufacturers would simply have been driven out of their markets by cheaper imports, had it not been for the productivity gains afforded by the of automating manufacturing processes.
