Does Clinch Technology still have a place in modern manufacturing?
Robotas Technologies believes so.

In its day the Contacts Systems CS400 unit was on the cutting edge of Clinch Technology in PCBA. The unique mechanical design and versatility of their system led it to be widely adopted on production floors across the USA. However, with the CS400 machines no longer being manufactured or supported, does the Clinch assembly method still have a place in production today?

We thought it would be interesting to look at the Contacts Systems CS400 system and to compare and contrast it against Robotas’ new Mascot Clinch System.
