ABSTRACT:
Axial leads extending from opposite ends of electronic components are straightened by two pairs of fingers having pads which press on the leads and are rotated in opposite directions while they are driven along the leads. The straightening fingers have pads on their ends which are made of a soft resilient material, such as nylon. The fingers each have a cam follower on their ends away from the pads which allows the fingers to be opened and closed by the longitudinal motion of a cam on the end of a rod that is slideably positioned in a rotating tube. One end of the tube is attached to a support member and the fingers are secured to the support member. The finger pads are preferably shaped so that they overbend the lead by a small amount, such as 5.degree..
