Since you got no reply, I will give it my best shot but we do not have a radial inserter because they are really expensive. I would start with Universal instruments. I think its http://www.uic.com. I think they still make them in New York. TDK and Pa

Putting this out to all those who I know have a wealth of experience in working with and upon Through Hole machines (in particular Universal Machines). I have a component that is being inserted by a radial 8 machine, the component is inserted 8 ti

Use a Radial lead inserter. you will need 1 head for each different part number you have. the machine cannsert 2.5 $ 5.o mm lead components and 7.5 with special to0ling. For LED you want to use a Radial with the new dual spocket CTA (Component transf

Is the bad insertion next to one of the tooling holes that supports the board? The middle of the board can flex a little more than at the tooling holes. I had a problem similar on a TO-92 component and had to adjust the clinch height to compensate.

Many years ago I had a Rad 5 with a bad air cylinder that would not complete the rotation from left 90 to right 90. Or possibly the opposite. If you looked at the clinch unit it seemed fine but if you touched it it would move just a little bit to fi

There is a little flex in the board, but not a great deal. The position of the components are in the middle of the board throughout the pcb and nothing special or really different about this placement. There have been other products ran through thi

Thank you for your in-depth reply, I understand exactly what you mean about DFM in pcb's as we are a contract manufacturer and have in past had issues with aperture sizing etc. with pcb's. Having checked through everything all appears ok, we are goi

I meant to mention, prior to my DFM rant: The Cut/Clinch is pneumatic (fyi), when the part in question is just about to cycle remove the product from the WBH so you can watch the Cut/Clinch/Anvil and when the Cut/.Clinch is Up and In take a pic w/you

Hi, thank you for your reply. I have verified the rotation of the clinch and all checks out ok, cannot see any minor movements once the clinch has moved to the 0, +/-90 degrees (video taken in slow motion to check). This product is not going back

It sounds like: A) The tooling / blades inside of the Clinch body are in the wrong orientation. This might not explain why another product/part does cut. B) Dwell time / settle time in the program for the part in question. C) Your Clinch Height and T
