What's the difference between Vertical&Horizontal with Odd-form insert machine?

The Insert machine can be divided into 2 main categories -- Standard thru-hole insertion machine and Odd-form (Non-Standard) thru-hole insertion machine.

Since automatic production has become the mainstream, manual plug-in’s slow speed, high cost labor, wrong parts, missing parts, opposite direction, difficult of management and other status which can’t be changed. Insertion machine is an equipment which can improve production quality and efficiency and reduce labor cost by automatically inserting electronic components into the circuit board. Today, let's see insertion machine which to have kind!

 

  1.  Standard insert machine can be divided into 4:
    • 1-1: Vertical insert machine
    • 1-2:Horizontal insert machine
    • 1-3:Special-purpose equipment - LED special inserter
    • 1-4: Special-purpose equipment -  jumper special inserter
2.Odd-form insert machine

 

A standard plug-in machine is a equipment that automatically installs taped electronic components on a printed circuit board.

The standard insert machine requires that the components must be "tape packing", the corresponding component types are very few, only suitable for the same kind of standard component points a lot of products. As follows: Jumper wire (tin-plated wire), Diodes, Resistor, Electrolytic capacitor, Ceramic capacitor, LED, Transistor.

LED special equipment is designed for bulk LED components, such as flange round LED (including flat head and ball head), flat LED, etc. Applied to LED series products.

Jumper special equipment is only suitable for jumpers.Applied to Jumper wire (tin-plated wire)

Feeders: Two kinds. Feeder suitable for vertical taped material, and feeder suitable for horizontal taped material.

Odd-form insertion machine suitable for various types of plug-in components, it makes up for the limitations of the standard insert machine.

There are many kinds of plug-ins, which can be divided into tape material (vertical and horizontal), bulk material, tubular material and pallet material. In addition to wire and casing can not plug in, almost all electronic components are included.

For example: DIP, connector, capacitor, resistor, terminal, digital display, DC interface, PIN interface, coil, transformer, etc.

There are 4 kinds of corresponding Feeders：tape feeder, bulk feeder, tube feeder, tray feeder. The feeder also can be customized according to the specific components

ETS company developed a latest odd-form insertion machine adopt SMT technology applied to THT( through-hole technology ) PCBA assembly, completes the automatic insertion of various special-shaped components at high speed, and uses the visual camera system and laser laser unit to check the status of the component body (bending feet, missing feet, deformation, etc.), high-speed insertion is carried out, and finally the Z-axis height detection device is used to carry out height detection of the inserted components (to prevent missing insertion), which more effectively ensures the quality of the components. , improve production efficiency and save labor costs.

In general:
The standard plug-in machine is fast, but the corresponding component types are few.
The speed of the odd-form insertion machine is slower than the standard plug-in machine, but it covers almost all components and has strong versatility.
The appearance of the odd-form plug-in machine completely solves the problem that the standard plug-in machine has few types of components and cannot make the factory get rid of the labor situation. Like smt, THT is also entering the era of complete automation.

Electronic plug-in materials are classified according to packaging methods can be divided into 5 types: pallet packaging, bulk packaging, vertical tape packaging, horizontal tape packaging, tubular packaging.
