Surface mounting die assembly for loose radials Supercut/RS4 - Iteco 161400

Flat assemblies and enclosures with limited height require the electrolytic capacitor or resistor to lie on the board instead of standing upright. On the Supercut/RS4 this die assembly trims the leads of loose radial components and bends them so that the body is laid down flat and the leads enter the holes cleanly.

Operating features

• Lower assembly height - the component lies flat on the board instead of standing upright.
• Defined bend on every part - all components leave the die with the same lead geometry, no rework on the hole pattern is needed.
• Cutting and forming in one stroke - a single press on the foot switch trims the leads and forms them in the same operation.
• 2000 pieces per hour - the pneumatic drive keeps the machine cycle steady over long production runs.
• Die change in seconds - the die assembly is replaced as a whole, no rebuilding of the machine is needed.

Applications

Flat assemblies with restricted height, plug in cards in narrow subracks, power supplies with laid down electrolytic capacitors, and small to medium runs in which loose radial parts are processed without tape.

Compatibility and scope of supply

The die belongs to the 16x.xxx die range and works in the pneumatic cutting and forming machine Supercut/RS4, which Iteco lists under part number 7915.166. The machine is supplied without a die, every forming shape needs its own die assembly. The complete assembly is exchanged quickly and without rebuilding the machine. On the stronger Supercut/TS1 (Iteco 7915.171) the same forming shape carries the number 181400. On request Iteco supplies the machine with three cylinders and a custom die for non standard shapes. Supplied as one complete die assembly. Made in Italy.
