ABSTRACT:
Endwise insertion of leads projecting generally radially, or substantially in parallel, from one side of each of a plurality of interconnected electrical components is effected in rapid reliable succession. The components are sequentially fed into the head of a machine by a tape indexing mechanism. There, when aligned with a reciprocable inserter, the leads of each component after being cut to predetermined length are separated from the tape by spaced members acting transversely on the progressively guided tape. The lead cutting and their separation from the tape with the aid of lead grippers controlling the attitude of each component are effected substantially in alignment with insertion mechanism of the head operable cyclically on the successive components to effect their axial insertion; accordingly the arrangement provides a high-speed inserting cycle during which a reciprocable driver, acting through ball transfer means, actuates a component pusher, lead gripping fingers, and knives whereby each lead is continuously controlled as to its shape and position.
Although herein illustrated for use at a conveyorized station of component assembling apparatus and hence adapted with but a single channel for supplying similar components, the machine, with minor modification, is also useful with multi-channel component feeding arrangements.
