Reduce pitch and cut die assembly for loose radials Supercut/RS4 - Iteco 161800

Densely packed layouts often call for a narrower hole grid than the purchased component provides. On the Supercut/RS4 this die assembly brings both leads of a loose radial part inwards to a smaller pitch and cuts them off in the same stroke.

Operating features

• Narrow the pitch - the component fits a tighter hole pattern without any change to the printed board.
• Counterpart to the pitch increase - together with die 161700 the Supercut/RS4 covers both directions of pitch adjustment.
• 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

Densely packed assemblies with a tight hole grid, second source parts delivered on a wider pitch, and boards whose layout can no longer be modified.

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 181800. 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.
