Automatic Pin Installation Technology S
urrelektronik, one of the UK’s leading suppliers of industrial automation products has announced the appointment of John Price as Food &
Advertorial
pirol Industries has developed technology to install miniature pins with a diameter less than 1.5mm automatically.
This dispenses with manual
installation that can be a tedious and time consuming process, involving the use of a magnifying glass and very small tools. What is more, scrap rates are often in excess of 10% due to pin damage during unsuccessful installation attempts. The advantages of Spirol's Pin Installation technology have been demonstrated with a surgical tool manufacturer looking to review an installation process for an assembly. This required a 0.8mm diameter stainless steel solid pin to affix a nylon cylinder to a shaft. The assembly consisted of an outer tube, inside of which was a smaller hollow shaft and inside that was a solid rod. During the installation
process, the pin had to negotiate from one side of the cylinder to the other, through all components of the assembly and the tolerances were extremely tight. Spirol's challenge was to provide an installation solution that eliminated manual handling of the pin while providing repeatable, quality installations. A PR semi-automatic pin insertion machine was therefore installed.
vibratory feed bowl was provided to deliver the pins to the retractable insertion head one at a time and place them into "ready position" for installation.

ESIPA® Blind Riveting Systems Ltd was approached by a major supplier to the automotive industry, to fulfil their standard fastening requirement. However, GESIPA® finally ended up delivering a novel solution for the automotive OEM application. The original need was for a fastener to assemble an aluminium extrusion to the vehicle. Evidently, another fastener was already being used by the customer, to clamp the spacer to this aluminium extrusion. After analysing the customer requirement, GESIPA® suggested a single part replacement solution in the form of its rivet nut stud fulfilling both the fastening needs at the same time. “The Solution delivered by GESIPA® was a specially designed M6 rivet nut stud manufactured in Steel with 5.8mm grip range. This rivet nut stud was used to clamp the spacer to the extrusion simultaneously assembling the extrusion to the vehicle thus serving the dual purpose and replacing the need of using two distinct fasteners in the same application.” explains Stephen Dovernor, Account Manager, Technical Sales, GESIPA®, UK The unique solution developed by GESIPA® was able to provide the customer with a single fastener replacing two currently used, at a lower in-place cost. Also, stronger clamp force and higher load bearing capacity of the fastener provided a guaranteed and secure joint.
The bespoke rivet nut stud manufactured by GESIPA® as a solution to the automotive application requirement, not only provided an easier, neater and quicker installation option to assemble the extrusion to the vehicle itself but was also simultaneously used to clamp the spacer to this aluminium extrusion, thus serving the dual purpose. By reducing total production and installation times by approximately 50%, this solution also resulted into a huge cost saving opportunity for the customer. GESIPA® has 65 years of experience in providing fastener application solutions to its customers in different industries. Whether using off-the-shelf products from its standard catalogue items or developing new leading-edge solutions, GESIPA® always aims to understand and satisfy its customer requirements – both technical as well as commercial.

Relay Modules for easier system debug!
use failure indication makes plant maintenance quicker ensuring the customer can get, up and working again with minimum delay. Colter Products are offering a NEW range of ‘off the Shelf’ Din rail mounting relay modules that offer fuse failure indication for each relay output. The modules use the Bussmann mechanical fuse failure indication on each circuit to provide an alarm signal which can be connected to a PLC which in turn can flag an alarm on a SCADA system directing maintenance to an identifiable individual relay.
F The modules are
particularly useful in large control systems. 1,4,8 & 16 channel relay modules are available as shown in the photograph. Relay Coil voltages are typically 24Vdc but 12 & 48Vdc are also offered.
