Radial Lead Former for Bulk or Loose Radial Components – CF-10

About the Radial Lead Former for Bulk or Loose Radial Components – CF-10

The CF-10 Loose/Bulk Radial Lead Former is capable of forming loose radial components at rates up to 6,000 parts per hour with its variable speed motor. Its three die stations are independently adjustable in height. The unique shuttling mechanism enables a wide variety of components to be formed:

• TO-202s     • LEDs     • TO-218s    • Capacitors (uniform body shape)    • TO-220s    • TO-126s    • TO-92s

The tooling and shuttles are easily replaced in minutes, minimizing the change-over time from one set up to another. Loose radial components with 2 or 3 leads are fed into the machine manually. A tube feeder for TO-220s with 3, 4, 5, or 7 leads is also available. The components are fed via the vibratory track, shuttled into position, and captured by the use of two timing belts.

A component is aligned in the shuttle and  transported into position to the fi rst of three die stations. The vertically adjustable die stations feature standard micrometer scales with display increments to 0.001” (0,025 mm). When one cycle is complete, the machine indexes and presents the next component to be formed. Waste leads exit through either a chute or, in the case of TO220s, by means of a vacuum system. Formed components are collected in a parts bin.

COMPONENT FORMING DIES

CF-10 component forming dies are precisely manufactured and are available to form a wide variety of component types. CF-10 forming dies are easily installed and can be ordered to form various component configurations. Custom dies for specific forming jobs are also available.

MICROMETER ADJUSTMENT

Allows the operator to quickly set up the machine to the correct setting for forming or cutting radial component leads.
