are you trying to lengthen or shorten the lead length? Lengthening the amount of lead being cut off and going into the scrap tube will shorten the lead length. Lead length is pretty much determined by the down stop setting on the insertion head, the

I have done this in a past life. In my mind this is a step backwards. If all of your parts are placed by hand it will work.You will need to cut at the top of the solder to keep the leads form bending If any parts are auto inserted you will need to c

| I have been requested to explore the possibilities of using an inline lead trimmer in our manufacturing process. I have a few questions I need answered. | 1. Can anyone recommend a good model of trimmer for in-line use? | 2. We do double sided SMT,

It sounds like the process is very labor intensive, and all the verification is done after the parts are soldered. Assuming you are hand placing the components: 1 - Contact Systems semi-automatic placement machine. It show polarity when placing, so

Mike, Russ is right, no 'normal' wave machine will solder PCB's with 1" long lead length. I have seen waves modified to clear up to 5/8" leads, but the deeper the wave the uglier things get. They get uglier in that a lot more dross is produced, con

Morning all Can anybody inform what IPC says about TH axial and radial component lead clinching, especially clinching angle and clinching direction? Regards Hannu

On some of our boards we cut the clinched leads with an old Q Corp cutter. Works fine as long as the blade is sharp and the lead isnt bent against the board. Youll know when you go to far on the clinch because the mass lead cutter will begin to start

We have a board that requires a .015 - .035" finished lead length which requires us to do mass lead trimming. To this point we've performed this activity on parts with straight leads. We're looking at going to an axial auto-insertion process (outso

It is possible to vary the length of lead during auto insert. However, it requires software and mechanical adjustments. Universal equipment allows small changes via software program for lead length. To change angle of clinch involves a mechanical a
