Abstract
A machine for the assembly of socket contacts and similar items having a sleeve portion and a contact portion within the sleeve. The machine includes a rotatable drum having an array of recesses about the circumferential wall, each of the recesses including a lower section for retaining a sleeve portion, and an upper section for retaining the contact portion. The parts are retained in the recesses by vacuum controlled by a manifold assembly within the drum. A cam assembly above the drum is operative during drum rotation to urge the contacts into the respective sleeves, and the seating force can be monitored during insertion of the contacts into the sleeves for rejection of components assembled with seating forces which are outside of intended specification.
