On mixed technology PCBs, we find numerous blow holes on the solder joints of radial parts (electrolytics, LEDs, etc). The solution that works so far is to cut the leads very long in the radial inserter so that the part is kinda loose and the air in

Do you already have machines or are you shopping? If you're shopping and looking at used machines from Universal, get AT LEAST a Radial Lead III and preferably a V or VIII. The Radial Lead II is well past it's prime, especially for someone that's jus

Our company has it's yearly inventory coming up. (Joy). I was wondering if anyone has come across a component counter that can handle radial components in AMMO pack. I have seen plenty out there that can handle counting of radial components in Reel

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

As a band-aid, consider running your chip wave when soldering these boards [Similar to Cals "dance with me babe" suggestion.] If the problem is as broad based as you say and the radial components have a tight fit, consider increasing the holes by a

I have worked with Radial II's, III's, and V's. Every one had a verifier, but none of them ever got used, primarily because of the false failures.

We have here a Radial inserter with 80 stations sequencer. We want to reduce that to 20 stations, so remove 3 banks on the sequencer. How can we change the configuration ? Is there dip swichts or something in the excutive to change ?

Hello: I would like to know if a radial capacitor (1000uf, 25V)should be placed flash to the board? Thanks, Bob

With proper lead forming, a radial capacitor (1000uf, 25V) can be placed flush to the board. If you place it as you describe, does your product application environment require staking?
