Total Precision provides high-speed CNC insertion of through-hole pins into PCB and plastic substrates. The equipment controls the placement of each pin, helping maintain consistency across components containing single or multiple connection points. Automated insertion is particularly valuable where accurate pin positioning is essential for subsequent electrical connection, assembly or product testing. It also reduces reliance on repetitive manual processes during ongoing production. CNC insertion can be integrated into a wider manufacturing route, allowing the substrate, inserted component and any subsequent assembly operations to be managed through one accountable production partner.

Stamped terminals can be inserted accurately into PCB and moulded plastic substrates using controlled CNC equipment. Where required, the terminals can form part of a connected manufacturing process involving Total Precision’s metal pressing and plastic injection moulding capabilities. This allows the individual parts and the insertion process to be coordinated around the finished component rather than treated as separate, disconnected operations. Bringing these capabilities together can simplify procurement, reduce external handling and provide greater continuity from individual terminal production through to the completed inserted component.

CNC pin and terminal insertion can be used with both plastic and printed circuit board substrates, providing flexibility across electrical, electronic and engineered component applications. Plastic substrates may be manufactured through Total Precision’s injection-moulding capability before moving into the insertion process. Pins or terminals are then positioned according to the component’s design and its connection requirements. Completed components can progress into further assembly, inspection or testing, creating a controlled production route from the initial substrate to a product prepared for the customer’s next manufacturing stage.

Total Precision’s insertion capability also includes semi-automatic terminal insertion for coil-former components. This process supports the controlled placement of terminals into the moulded former before it progresses into winding, electrical assembly or another subsequent production operation. Semi-automatic insertion combines operator oversight with equipment-controlled positioning. Customers can use this capability as a single production stage or combine it with plastic moulding, component preparation, assembly and testing as part of a broader turnkey manufacturing solution.
