Abstract

See full text

A terminal insertion machine (10) is disclosed that automatically actuates the insertion head (14) when the lower tooling (24) senses that the circuit board (26) is in proper alignment for receiving the tabs (166, 168) of the terminal (20). The lower tooling (24) includes a locating member (82) that senses the presents of two spaced holes (156, 158) in the circuit board (26) that are to receive tabs of the terminal and a rod (138) that senses the presence of the portion (162) of the circuit board (126) between the two holes (156, 158). A controller responds to a signal that the portion (162) of the circuit board is present and concurrently, that both holes (156, 158) are properly positioned. Upon receiving this signal the controller automatically actuates the insertion head (14) to insert the terminal 20 into the circuit board (26).
