Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] Via plugging

Has anyone had any experience using this product?
http://www.internationaleyelets.com/
It looks like we have to handle the eyelets individually. Ugh...

I remember another manual system of thru-hole pin insertion, but I can't
find the link any more. It looked like a mechanical pencil with breakaway
inserts. You click out one pin from the tool, insert in the via hole, and
break it off by leaning the tool. Does anyone remember seeing this?

I was thinking of the drilling station and how to automate via insertion.
If we mount this tool instead of the drill, the DRILL file already has all
the coordinates for the vias. The last thin I have to figure is how to
break off the pin. I was thinking of adding a 4th axis, making the drill
rotate clockwise a few degrees or something.

Ideas, comments, insults?

Robert
