ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for working on the leads of electrical components has a component inlet or supply unit taking the form, for example, of a chute with a guideway opening, or with an inlet for the supply of components fixed to belts or paper tapes. The apparatus furthermore has two tools, each placed on a tool support. The two tools are moved together for forming the component leads, the leads being placed in the path of the tools. The tools are supported on a carriage, which may be moved in a direction parallel to the direction of input of the components. Furthermore, the tools are moved together in timed relation to input of the components and the working motion of the carriage. In the case of such an apparatus, for making a better design of the working steps and events taking place on operation as the apparatus is moved, and for making adjustment more readily possible, each tool support has a guide face parallel to the direction of working motion, the length of each guide face being at least equal to the length of the working motion, driving levers, which are turningly supported on a base-plate, resting against the guide faces. The driving levers are worked by at least one tool shutting cam powered by a driving motor. Such an apparatus may be used for general processing of component leads and, more specially cutting to length, bending or kinking such leads on transistors, capacitors etc.
