Apparatus for cutting to length the connecting wires of electrical components (such as resistors, capacitors, transistors or diodes) comprises a cutting device situated below a component guide which consists of a slideway defining a guide slot through which the connecting wires project downwardly. The cutting device comprises two shearing wheels which are arranged with horizontal faces thereof parallel and abutting one another in a region in which they overlap, the forward point of intersection of peripheral cutting edges of the wheel (the point at which cutting of the connecting wires commences) being situated below the guide slot. At least one of the wheels is driven and this has serrations at its periphery which are large in relation to the diameter of the connecting wires to be cut. The non-driven wheel is preferably of truncated conical shape widening towards the other wheel. Various other constructional details are described, including up-and-down adjustment of the position of the shearing wheels, guiding arrangements, cut-end discharge arrangements and the provision of conveying roller which provides for firm movement of each component past the cutting device. |
