        Subject:        [TN] Push Pin Insertion

        Does anyone know of a way of inserting push pins into a circuit
card?
        They are used in the extractor modules.  We were using a manual
fixture
        with vise grips as the forcing mechanism, but this has broken.  I am
        trying to find a supplier or an idea on how to insert these pins.
We
        manufacture about 5000 PCB's/Month.

        I was thinking of some sort of pneumatic jig, but I have never seen
        anything.  Any help or ideas are appreciated.

        Regards,
