Peter,

I bought a system that we use for swage standoffs that would just as
easily insert PEMs with the right die sets.  Check out
http://www.cambridgeautomatic.com/.  We use their AE2000 press.  Very
nice unit that only needs air pressure to run.  Cambridge Automatic has
a complete machine shop with excellent tool makers.  They are located in
Natick Mass.

Regards,

Phil Nutting

Subject: [TN] Manual Press for PEM PCB fastener


Thanks Earl for your extensive report on NPI which will keep me tied up
for a while in reading through it. I appreciate you for sharing your
experience and information in this forum.

I have another question for the day: Does anyone know of a good and
reliable machine for press-in PEM PCB fasteners?

I am considering machines from PENN ENGINEERING and SCHMIDT but like to
get more inputs on both the press machine and the process. Would a
manual press be able to put out ~2200 lbs at the fastener in practice?
What are some common application problems that one should look out for?


Rgds,
Peter
