We used to use those, back in the bad old times. basically, it's a router with a blade on it that is used to trim the leads of PTH components that are mounted on boards. Nasty process. Difficult to control. Messy, firing cut leads all over the plac

Looking for information on lead trimming after wave solder. Does anyone do this through automated equipment? I know ideally parts would be cut to length before insertion and not trimmed after wave solder but sometimes that is cost prohibitive. When n

What type of PCB? What type of component?..... There are TH components that should not be trimmed at all. Some are sensitive to fractures, other times it is a bad design combination between board design and lead need trimming. Overall try to trim bef

Are components that need to be trimmed available on a reel? A lead trimmer that cuts from a reel of TH parts is fast and avoids post trimming. We also tried a bench top lead trimmer and its a terrible process; sold the machine after the first day. Bo

You seem to pretty far from shore to begin thinking about boats and floatation devices. Most laser trimmers are used by: * Semiconductor fabricators * Resistive component fabricators * Hybrid circuit assemblers Component fabricators and hybrid [

No, experience, but a couple of comments are: * Your 2mm leads are proabably not ment to be trimmed. Consider returning these and buying components with shorter leads. [We know, we know. You have to build this piece of junk right NOW!!!! B-)] * I

Dear SMTnetters, I've been told to have a look at finding a machine that could mill the leads of all PTH components to a certain height on an assembeled and soldered PCB. PCBs should be inserted in one side of the machine and come out milled on the

Hello, So in short, i wanted to know.. for 8 zones i guess that will be a great deal. and the machine made year is 2000. Also, coming to the max. thickness of PCB we have is 0.085 inches.
