Hello all, we are about to modify a Universal Radial 5 so the machine will be able to insert radial components with lead pitch 3.5mm and 5mm. The 3.5mm components are ELCOs which are getting inserted all the way to the component body so they sit fi

We had the same problem years ago when we started using a radial inserter. The inserter would dutyfully insert and clinch the leads. The problem in our case was the component body sealing to the fab, especially on electrolytics caps with a film jac

Manufacturing already tried to get a design change but no chance. I guess because the designer is afraid the components could get bent too much if they are mounted with a stand off. Of course everyone who has to manufacture this fist sais: why don't

Wow. Never have, never would, but that doesn't mean it couldn't be done. Mostly it just seems impossible to design a carrier clip that could hold both well...more likely it would hold one well and the other poorly, or both poorly. Anyway, is there

Insertion isn't enough. You also need cut and clinch for axial, radial, and dip components.

Of course, if the number of required component codes ( = feeders) is not very great, you might want to look into odd-form assembly machines. With them you can insert a much greater range of components than just simple radial components and you can ge

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

We want to insert LED's on .100 center's with a UIC Rad 2. The LED must have plastic standoff on the leads before they are inserted. Are there any tape & reel machines that will put the standoff on the LED and then put the component on tape & Reel. A

dedicated fixture works best if the board is very much populated. But if the parts to be inserted are less than 300components, adjustable fixtures may be used. But the secret of good insertion is a precisely measured tooling pin to prevent the boards
