Chain Terminal Inserter: PIA Series

Terminals are inserted at high speed with servo motor drive head.

Chain Terminal Inserter: PIA Series

This is an inserter for preform chain pin terminals.
This machine uses a servo motor to drive the insertion head to insert terminals at high speeds.
In addition, acceleration/deceleration of the insertion speed is possible.
There are PIA-40-2020 which inserts straight pin terminal and PIA-50-2020 which inserts right angle pin terminal.
