DWFritz Automation announces the M1500™ Micro Fastener System, a product developed for the consumer electronics manufacturing industry for assembly of small electronic devices ranging from the size of a standard cell phone to a 15” laptop computer.
The M1500 Micro Fastener System features a custom micro fastener handling and loading system, a servo-controlled press with insertion force feedback, and SplitVis™ technology to assist in placement of the TackPin fasteners in the product, allowing for variable distances or thicknesses. The M1500 has a throughput of greater than 30 placements per minute with an accuracy of +/- 50 microns.
This system is used for assembly of small electronic devices ranging from the size of a standard cell phone to a 15” laptop computer.
