Zierick Manufacturing introduced a fully automatic CNC insertion system. Measuring 3′ x 3′ x 2′ high, the bench top Model 9700 XY Positioning System is suitable for production lines and the needs of contract manufacturers. Its modular tooling is said to reduce downtime between terminal changeovers.

The 9700 XY combines a terminal insertion machine with a dual-axis positioning system to achieve high-speed, repeatable insertions through a set of programmed coordinates. User interface is through a series of menus presented to the operator using touchscreen controls. Programming can be done manually, or specific data points can be downloaded to the PLC directly with an optional data connection kit. The unit can store 99 programs with 150 position points each — all of which can be modified, deleted or added during the operation. The self-contained positioning and insertion unit can check the validity of any series of taught insertion points automatically.
