Flexible eyelet insertion for low-volume production

The catalog positions the 788 Bench Top Eyelet Inserter as a flexible, cost-effective platform for low-volume assembly. It is designed for bulk-fed eyelet insertion on printed circuit boards and can later be added to the PLT-902/901/501 XYR base platform when a line needs a more inline, higher-volume process.
