Machine Platform
- Simple machine control
- Stainless steel vibratory bowl feeder
- Pin escapement singulator
- Insertion head, die, and lower anvil
- Modular tubular frame weldment
The MD-838 is a semi-automatic bench top bulk pin inserter built for medium-volume PCB assembly. It combines a vibratory bowl feed system, modular insertion head tooling, and straightforward operator controls in a compact platform that can later scale into a PLT-901-based inline process.
