2. DESCRIPTION
2.1. Physical Description (Refer to Figure 2)
The AIM (power unit and tool set combination) is air operated and electrically controlled. The power unit is
fastened to the gantry (or frame) of the machine and connected by multiple air line connections and electrical
connectors. The mechanical actions of feeding, gripping, shearing, and inserting terminals are achieved
through a series of slides, cams, and links controlled by air cylinders of the power unit and tool set.
Electrical switches, actuated by the extension and retraction of the air cylinders, signal to the machine the state
of each cylinder.
The insertion cylinder located on the top of the power unit extends to insert the terminal into the pc board. The
insertion cylinder drives a linear slide which is attached to the tool set. The inserter assembly (which consists
of an inserter clamp and inserter body) grips the terminal. The inserter clamp pivots to open and allow the
terminal to feed into the inserter assembly, then pivots to close to grip the terminal. The method of opening and
closing the inserter clamp differs between the Straight Power Unit and the Rotary Power Unit as follows:
S In the Straight Power Unit, the inserter clamp is opened by a cam–operated lever whenever the insertion
cylinder is retracted. After the terminal is fed, the die cylinder is actuated which also actuates a cylinder
to disengage the lever from the cam and causes the inserter clamp to close, gripping the terminal.
S In the Rotary Power Unit, the inserter clamp is opened and closed by the use of springs, rods, and a
small air cylinder mounted on the inserter linear slide.
The die cylinder is used to extend the die slide and pivot the feed package (strip guide) to align the terminal
strip with the inserter, allowing the next terminal to be fed into the inserter.
The feed cylinder controls feeding the terminal strip from the supply reel and through the tool set. The terminal
strip is guided into a strip guide at the back of the tool set. A feed finger advances the terminal strip. The feed
cylinder extends, advancing the feed finger to feed the terminal into the open inserter clamp. The feed cylinder
remains extended until the terminal is gripped by the inserter assembly and sheared from the terminal strip,
then it is retracted to engage the next terminal on the strip. The terminal drag assembly, located on the feed
assembly, applies a slight drag to the terminal strip to ensure consistent feeding of the terminal. An
anti–backup finger, located on the feed assembly, prevents the terminal strip from moving backward when the
feed finger is retracted.
