PCT No. PCT/EP91/01668 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 20, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 20, 1993 PCT Filed Sep. 2, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/04145 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 19, 1992.A system of machining lead frames (7), such as punching, cutting and bending of the leads consists of a number of machining devices (1, 2, 3) placed in series. Transport means (8) are provided for transporting the lead frames between the successive machining device. Each device comprises means for transporting the lead frames in horizontal and vertical direction, a tool carrier driving means for driving the tool carrier (18). Further, a control device (4) is provided for controlling, synchronizing and protecting the operation of the machining devices. The machining devices are purely mechanically driven and the system is a device on a modular basis.
