Panasonic AVK3 / AV131 / AV132 Axial Insertion Machines

Purpose-Built for High-Volume Axial Component Insertion
The Panasonic AVK3 is an advanced axial insertion machine tailored for SMT production environments where speed and consistency are essential. Engineered for the automated placement of axial-lead components, it integrates seamlessly into high-throughput SMT pick and place lines. With support for a wide range of axial part sizes and lead spacing options, the AVK3 eliminates manual handling, increases placement accuracy, and delivers a streamlined solution for large-scale PCBA manufacturing.

Precision-Driven Mechanism with Modular Configuration
The AVK3 operates with a 20-component feeder capacity, supporting 26mm pitch spacing and maintaining a stable 0.16-second/component insertion rate. This system is ideal for components with lead diameters of 0.45–0.8mm and body diameters from 2–5mm. The machine utilizes a rotary turret head, dynamic part alignment, and positive lead-cutting and clinching mechanisms to ensure proper seating and insertion reliability. Its modular design simplifies maintenance while offering scalable configuration options for evolving production needs across auto insertion platforms.

Integrated Value in Modern SMT Production Lines
Deployed by experienced SMT pick and place machine manufacturers, the AVK3 serves as a dedicated axial component subsystem in hybrid SMT and through-hole lines. It supports applications across consumer electronics, power supply units, lighting modules, and home appliances. Its automated operation reduces labor dependence while meeting global OEM production standards. The AVK3 is recognized for balancing speed, precision, and mechanical robustness, making it a core machine for factories transitioning to automated axial insertion processes.

Product Advantages

Fast and Stable Insertion Speed for Axial Components
With a maximum insertion rate of 0.16 sec/component, the AVK3 sets a high-speed benchmark in auto insertion systems. This throughput is maintained without compromising lead forming or clinching quality, thanks to a consistent servo-driven motion architecture. In high-density production lines, such speed ensures better takt time alignment between SMT processes and axial insertion, reducing overall cycle time and boosting line efficiency.

Component Flexibility Across Common Axial Formats
The AVK3 supports insertion for resistor and diode-type axial components with diameters between 2.0mm and 5.0mm and lead diameters from 0.45mm to 0.8mm. It accommodates lead span options of 2.5mm, 5.0mm, and 7.5mm, all processed under tightly controlled cutting and forming tolerances. This range allows manufacturers to use the same axial insertion machine across multiple PCB designs, optimizing feeder layouts and minimizing changeover requirements.

Seamless System Integration in SMT Production Cells
Designed for line compatibility, the AVK3 integrates efficiently with upstream and downstream stations, including PCB loaders, reflow ovens, and test modules. For SMT pick and place machine users, it offers a synchronized insertion process that reduces board handling errors and line stoppages. The AVK3 can also operate with data download systems and barcode readers, ensuring traceability and MES connectivity within smart manufacturing environments.
