Pin Installation Technology

The Model PMH easily accommodates quick change-overs. The fixture is simply replaced at the base of the machine, and the pin diameter is easily changed by switching the pin driving chuck. The precisely machined rack and casting results in smooth operation, precise positioning, repeatability, and durability. The Model PMH Heavy Duty Manual Pin Inserter installs pins ranging in diameter from 0.8mm-10mm (.031”-.375”) with a maximum insertion force of 6.7 kN (1,500 lbs).

SPIROL's Model HC Dual Pin Inserter is a lightweight, portable, horizontal Pin Inserter designed to install SPIROL Series 550 Cosmetic Coiled Pins into plastic hinges. The cylinder/driving head modules can be moved in and out with ease, and fixture changes are simple which enables quick conversion from one assembly to another. This machine quickly and effectively delivers the pins automatically to the installation site eliminating the need for the operator to touch them during the entire assembly operation. This machine dramatically increases production efficiency with minimal operator training and effort.

SPIROL's Model CR Semi-Automatic Heavy Duty Pin Inserter is a robust, vertical pin insertion machine ideally suited for moderate to high production for applications requiring up to 8kN (1,800 lbs) of installation force. A retractable pin orientation head, mounted on a shaft/linear bearing arrangement moves up and down for ease of loading and unloading of the components to be assembled. The insertion bushing is positioned close to the part for smooth, trouble free installation. The orientation head shuttles the pin from the feeding position to the installation position, and also functions as a selector, preventing longer or shorter pins from being installed. A two position trap door allows for easy clear-out of the feed tube.

This versatile installation machine is suited for moderate to high production applications requiring up to 1.3 kN (300 lbs.) of installation force. The pin insertion head advances and retracts for ease of loading and unloading of the components to be pinned. The machine’s insertion bushing is positioned close to the part for smooth installation. A vibratory feeder and orientation head transfers the pin from the feeder bowl to the installation position, eliminating the need for the operator to handle the pins. A quick-clear mechanism allows for easy clearing of the feed tube without the need for tools when changing pin size or performing maintenance.
