I.C.T-OFM Series
I.C.T
| Quantity: | |
|---|---|
The I.C.T Odd Form Insertion Machine is designed for THT and DIP production lines that need automatic insertion of irregular components. It can handle connectors, switches, sockets, transformers, coils, ports, capacitors, resistors, ICs, RAM, and other special-shaped parts. The machine uses modular design, intelligent operation interface, component library management, embedded feeder design, polarity identification, pressure sensing, and software data management. Compared with manual insertion, it helps reduce labor work, avoid reverse insertion, improve insertion consistency, and support higher production efficiency. The OFM series includes OFM-4 and OFM-6 models, with 4 or 6 insertion heads for different production capacity needs.
| Product Features
The placement system is the core part of this Odd Form Insertion Machine. It uses a high-speed head, ball screw structure, angle rotary motor, and closed-loop inserting height control to support accurate component insertion. The in-line high-precision camera and algorithm system can identify different component shapes before insertion, helping the machine handle more complex parts in real production. I.C.T also uses a pressure control system during the Z-axis inserting process. This helps the machine identify pin status and control the effective insertion height more safely. For special components, the moving part and nozzle can be customized based on the Customer’s actual component type.
The driver system uses casting parts to keep the machine stable during high-speed movement. The XY axis adopts servo motors and high-level ball screws, which help improve insertion accuracy and long-term running stability. High-quality moving parts support continuous production and reduce vibration during operation. The feeding system uses a stable feeder bank, and double-side feeder bank is optional for higher feeding capacity. The fast plug-in interface makes feeder installation easier, while the guide groove design helps maintain feeding precision. This Advanced Odd Form Insertion Machine can support axial tape, radial tape, radial tape 90°, tube, bowl, and tray feeders, giving factories more flexibility for mixed component production.
The transmission system uses a three-stage conveyor design to reduce PCB input and output time. A high-precision PCB support table helps keep the board stable during insertion, while the side clamp and top clamp system hold the PCBA firmly. This is important because odd-form parts may require insertion force, and board movement can affect insertion quality. The optional bending system can form leads after insertion according to process needs. It supports outward bending, inner bending, circular angle bending, and 2-turn bending. Although the bending function may reduce machine working efficiency, it can help prevent loose components and support more stable downstream soldering quality.
The I.C.T OFM series includes several practical functions for safer and easier production. The machine can support NG component drop detection, security grating, fan outlet prevention, simple operating interface, teaching box, aviation plug, and servo motor design. The intelligent interface makes daily operation easier for technicians, while the component library allows preset component information to be called quickly. The machine also supports data management to reduce human errors. With Industry 4.0 software management, remote monitoring, SMEMA and MES connection, the Odd Form Inserter Machine can be connected to modern PCB assembly production management systems.

| DIP Line Equipment List
I.C.T can integrate the odd form component insertion machine into a complete DIP production line. Related equipment includes manual insertion lines, automatic insertion machines, wave soldering machines, selective soldering machines, DIP AOI, PCB conveyors, loaders, unloaders, repair stations, soldering robots, and functional testing support. In a typical DIP process, SMT boards first finish surface mount production, then move to THT component insertion, soldering, inspection, repair, and final assembly. The odd form placement machine can replace part of the manual insertion work for complex components that are slow or unstable to insert by hand. I.C.T can design the full line based on component type, PCB size, capacity target, factory layout, and soldering method.
