METHOD OF INDIVIDUALLY INSERTING TERMINALS CONNECTED IN A STRIP AND APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT THE METHOD |
摘要 |
<p>An apparatus is described for individually inserting successive components of a series of components having mounting legs by movement of the components along an insertion direction to introduce the mounting legs into holes in a substrate at an insertion station. The apparatus includes a guide for guiding a strip of components along a feedpath generally normal to the insertion direction with the mounting legs oriented in the direction of the substrate surface. The strip is advanced stepwise after each insertion operation to position the next successive component of the strip at the insertion station. The carrier web between a component to be inserted and the next successive upstream component is centered relative to a web shearing line, a first cutting element at the insertion station being arranged for abutment against a carrier edge or line proximate to the mounting legs for preventing movement of that portion of the carrier web upstream of the shearing line in the insertion direction. The strip is moved relative to the cutting element to permit the strip to advance the next successive component to be inserted to the inserted station without being blocked by the first cutting element. A plunger is provided which moves along the insertion direction to shear the carrier web when the plunger is driven into engagement with that portion of the carrier web downstream of the shearing line and move it below the carrier edge or line. An insertion spoon carries the component towards and inserts it through the substrate.</p> |
