A component lead cutting and forming apparatus which includes a movable carriage and a bending die secured thereto for supporting the first and second leads of an axial lead component in process. A translatable cutting and forming assembly is provided for (a) providing strain relief clamping of the leads of the component in process against the component supporting bending die, (b) cutting the leads of the component in process, and (c) cooperating with the component supporting bending die to bend the leads of the component in process, when the movable carriage and the component supporting bending die is in a first position beneath the translatable cutting and forming assembly. Driving apparatus translates the movable carriage between such first position and a second position, wherein at the second position the axial lead component having cut and formed leads is presented for robotic pick-up.
