Are you using adjustable workboard holders or dedicated ones? Are both heads lined up exactly the same(using the b.e.c. template? Are parts formed correctly and lined up with the component holes on both sides(heads)?

I am currently having a problem with uncut legs on one side of axial components from a universal dual head insertion machine. Initially it was thought that the anvil on one side was engaging slow so I stripped down and changed the seals in the botto

Jeff, You assume too much. Not all VCD's had clinch in sensors. Darron did not tell us what vintage this machine is so what habsfan said could be the problem. We need more information to help. Does the machine stop when it doesn't cut the lead? D

Thanks for all of the informations guys, after spending some time rechecking the set ups and checking for worn components in case there was something i missed, i then took some time whilst an operator ran the machine to watch. Whilst doing this i no

Yes, we have an old Universal axial and they still offer independent machines for axial, radial and DIP components, but I do not have the floor space for that. Some offer "odd form" insertion machines (Juki, Hanwha, Cenncorp)which is the direction I

The odd form assemblers are extremely slow compared to the Axial & Radial UIC machines. Also there is a big cost for feeders. Key question is what is the max axial & Max radial feeder count on your biggest job and that will quickly tell you how man

UIC still manufacturers new thru-hole machines. Both axial and radial insertion models are available. They stopped making the multi-mod dip inserters in '91 or '92. And parts are easily acquired for any older models, there were a ton of machines out

On average there are about 3 parts per board that get hand placed (x24 is 72 parts per panel). One of these parts is a big 1W resistor that cannot fit on our axial machine. We also have a Zener Diode that needs to be hand placed because its leads are

I have been tasked with finding the equipment necessary to fully automate our TH assembly. Currently about 98% is performed manually on stuff lines with the other 2% using a 30 year old axial inserter. I am asking if anyone else has gone down this pa

gregp: Our PTH process has not changed in many years. Our products are fairly simple as far as electronics goes and everything gets potted anyways. ~90% of everything we build is single sided TH with ~ 100 solder joints per board. Each board is ~
