Many people buy because they do not understand the two kinds of machine and insert machine

 what is the difference between them? Which is better? And difficult to choose, today I will take 

you to understand the difference between the chip machine and the insert machine.

The difference between the insert machine and the chip machine, which is more expensive

The insertion machine is a machine that automatically installs the braided electronic components

 on the printed circuit board according to the program. The traditional electronic assembly industry

 mainly relies on workers to plug electronic components into the circuit board. Since the machine 

began mass production, the speed of manual plug-in is slow, and the defects of poor workmanship

 are exposed. The electronic components are automatically installed on the circuit board by the

 plug-in machine, which can save labor cost and improve the plug-in technology level.

Special-shaped insert machine

The operation of the plug-in machine basically includes capacitors, inductors, connectors and other 

such components, the engineering staff of the design process will be based on the workload and 

rationality of the plug-in parts of each station to do division of labor, each machine is only responsible

 for the installation of a few original, and repeat the same operation, as far as possible to reduce the 

chance of error.

Advantages of special-shaped insert machine

1, improve the installation density;

2, improve vibration resistance;

3, improve the frequency characteristics enhanced;

4, improve labor efficiency;

5, reduce production costs.

SMT machine: also known as "mounting machine", "Surface Mount System" (Surface Mount System), 

in the production line, it is configured after the dispensing machine or screen printing machine, is a 

device that accurately places the surface mount components on the PCB pad by moving the mounting

 head. Divided into manual and automatic two.

Automatic placement machine is used to achieve high-speed, high-precision automatic placement of

 components equipment, is the most critical and complex equipment in the entire SMT production. 

SMT mounter is the main equipment in the SMT production line, the mounter has developed from 

the early low-speed mechanical mounter to high-speed optical alignment mounter, and to the 

multi-functional, flexible connection modular development.

1, the type of mountable components, specifications, patch direction, substrate size, patch range in 

line with the specifications;

2, chip speed: 1608 chip component test CPH mounting rate is not less than 60% of the nominal IPC9850

 speed, or SPC speed is not more than 2 times the nominal speed;

3, flying rate is not more than 3‰.

The patch components of electronic components and straight plug-ins have the same function, but the

 packaging form is different. The most fundamental difference: the plug-in is a pin, installed on the PCB

 requires PCB opening, welding through the PCB; As the name suggests, the patch is fitted like a plaster,

 but it is also tinned welding, and the contact surface between the PCB and the device is flat.

For some small signal devices, such as resistors, porcelain capacitors, control chips, etc., the use of patches

 will be better than plug-ins, because the production process is easier to control, the process defect rate is

 low, and the price of some materials is better than plug-ins. But relative to the plug-in earthquake resistance is poor.

For power type devices, such as electrolytic capacitors, power resistance plug-ins are better than patches. 

Because the heat of the power device is more serious, the heat dissipation of the plug-in is better than that

 of the patch.

The working principle of the automatic insert machine and the placement machine is the same, in summary,

 the difference is that the placement machine, the chip component is affixed to the PCB board, and the 

insertion machine is the pin component inserted into the PCB board.

The plug-in machine came out earlier, and the early circuit board products were plug-ins, and later developed,

 plug-in components were changed to patch components. So the chip machine also came into being.

In addition, the insertion machine is mostly machine structure, less intelligent structure, and the placement 

machine is compared with the sensor camera to identify the components, and the degree of intelligence is higher.

The price of the patch machine and the insert machine is not much comparable because of different brands 

and different prices. On the components alone, the patch is more expensive, which is because of different 

materials and different production processes, such as the paste of the patch resistance to silver palladium alloy, 

and the price is more expensive than the plug-in.

The above is the difference between the special-shaped insert machine and the patch machine, the two devices

 have their advantages, the specific need to choose according to the needs of the product.
