ABSTRACT:
A device is provided for automatically and continuously bending, crimping, and trimming the leads of electrical components having leads located on only one side of the component body. A vibrating supply container is provided which stores components and supplies the components to a conveyor. The conveyor transfers the components in sequence, one at a time adjacent one another in a groove to a transfer slot. A rotatable turning disc is provided adjacent the transfer slot which carries crimping and bending tools at the periphery thereof. The tools are arranged in pairs, with one of the tools being pivotally mouned at the carrier disc and the other being relatively fixedly mounted. The relatively fixedly mounted tool is disposed so as to grip a component in the transfer slot as the carrier is rotated thereby, while the pivotally mounted tool subsequently is pivoted into crimping engagement with the leads as the carrier continuously rotates. In preferred embodiments, a cutter wheel is arranged adjacent the rotating carrier to automatically trim the leads after the crimping operation. An ejection device is provided for removing the components from the tools as the carrier rotates past a fixed stop triggering the ejection device. A fixed cam member is provided for engaging with a cam follower at the pivotal tool to sequentially open and close the tools during the rotation of the carrier.
