Hi Long, Cmiller is right, check out the vendors and ask for lots of info, they'll flood you with it. You also mite ask to see their equipment working in a facility near you. Also check out IPC-A-610 and J-STD-001. Get to know the different termi

Does anyone have suggestion how to modify radial insertion machine to 3.5mm pitch? I have to insert 3.5mm pitch Ecap but the industry standard radial machine could mount only 2.5 or 5 mm pitch. changing PCB or parts is not an option as it is not appr

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

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

Radial Leads (I've had IIs, IIIs, and Vs) do the job nicely, but they need weekly maintenance to keep them running. I don't know if you can get parts for them or not if you're not registered with UIC, but you WILL need parts for it. You will need al
