Fancort Pneumatic Presses: 1 to 5 tons. American Built & Easily Customizable. Low Volume/Lowest Cost.

Press-Fit machinery

Fancort designs and builds fixtures and bench-top pneumatic presses for pressing compliant pin connectors into circuit boards. Fancort's pneumatic air presses are quiet, heavy-duty, and deliver smooth operation. Designed for applications requiring 1 ton or more, these very sturdy pneumatic air presses come in several models of different force ranges

Press-Fit technology

Is the insertion of flexible or rigid connector pins into plated through holes (PTHs) of printed circuit boards without soldering. Fancort offers a complete range of machines and tooling for low to automated high volume machines. Our equipment has been used by the world’s largest electronics manufacturers.

Advantages of press-fit technology VS soldering

• Prevention of thermal stress on the PCB and no soldering
• Eliminating pins damage or breakage, solder bump or flux residue, etc.
• Avoidance of short, cold solder connection, corrosion, etc.
• Enable Plugins to connect with plugs directly, and no need for screws
• Connectors with long pins can be connected from the backside of the PCB, for no soldering
• Reparability that the connector or a single pin can be replaced easily
• Stable and low contact resistance, good high frequency characteristics
• No need to wash PCBs and prevention of polluted substances like fluxes for no soldering
• High efficiency and low cost
• Green technology , no solder or flus to store or recycle

Fancort presses are hand-made in New Jersey. We can customize, design, and build any press for your unique application or you can shop our ready - to run - standard presses.
