Insertion systems may sound complex, but at their core, they’re surprisingly straightforward. Think of them as a screwdriver without the rotational drive—using proven feed head technology paired with a cylinder to deliver precise, controlled insertion.
From tiny pins to systems capable of applying hundreds of pounds of force, these solutions are designed to handle applications that simply can’t be done by hand. By leveraging the same technology and expertise used in automated screwdriving, insertion systems ensure proper alignment, repeatability, and reliable performance for even the most demanding pin insertion applications.

Insertion systems are actually quite simple. They're a screwdriver without a drive to turn the screw.
Many times we'll just use a cylinder, but we'll still use our feed head, which gives you the feed while you drive technology. It gives you the quick release and ease of maintenance technology. And the back end is a cylinder, whether it's air or electric or whatever it needs to be.
And it can be anything from little tiny pins up to some fairly large systems that have hundreds of pounds of insertion force required. Most of the applications that we have for insertion systems are for smaller pins.
The pin inserters that we offer are always fixtured. These you just can't put in by hand. You can't keep them aligned. You can't hold them in your fingers and then drive a tool behind it. It's just it's impossible. So, you need to have some sort of a tool.
And we can leverage our screwdriving technology and experience to driving pins.
