DEVICE FOR FITTING RADIO COMPONENTS WITH AXIAL LEADS ON PLATE

摘要

An automatic component mounting apparatus for automatically inserting and clinching terminal wires extending from each body of electric and/or electronic components to be mounted on a printed circuit board, which has a supply unit from which the components are successively delivered one at a time, an inserting head assembly for mounting each component on the printed circuit board with the terminal wires inserted through holes of one pair of holes in the circuit board, a pair of opposed transfer units positioned on respective sides of the inserting head assembly, a shaper assembly operatively carried by the inserting head for selectively receiving the component from either one of the transfer units and also for bending the terminal wires to give the component a substantially square-cornered U-shape in readiness for mounting thereof on the circuit board. A clinching unit for cutting off excessive portions of the component terminal wires and also for bending them is also included.
