Abstract: A machine that is used to automate the assembly of a circuit board assembly is provided. The machine includes a rotating indexer, at least one anvil holder, a punch, and an activation switch. The at least one anvil holder is carried by the rotating indexer and is configured to receive a connector pin. The anvil holder is rotatable relative to the punch, such that the at least one anvil holder may be aligned with the punch. A circuit board may be located about the connector pin, after which the activation switch may be activated to cause movement of the punch towards the anvil holder. When this occurs, the connector pin is compressed, which causes the connector pin to be secured to the circuit board. More specifically, a top section of the connector pin is compressed to form a top lip, where the circuit board is located between the top lip and a shoulder of the connector pin.
