Spread out and cut die assembly for loose radials Supercut/RS4 - Iteco 161700

The hole pattern of the board rarely matches the lead spacing of the purchased component exactly. On the Supercut/RS4 this die assembly spreads both leads of a loose radial part outwards to a wider pitch and cuts them to length in the same stroke.

Operating features

• Widen the pitch instead of changing the part - existing stock fits a second hole pattern, a further stock item is avoided.
• No bending by hand - the spread is produced by the die geometry, not with pliers.
• 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

Layouts with a wider hole grid than the delivered lead pitch, second source parts with a different lead spacing, and rebuild or repair of older assemblies.

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 181700. 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.
