Key Features
- Control lead protrusion below the pc board with cut-off lock-in tooling to eliminate post solder trimming.
- Lock-in tooling prevents component “float” during wave solder process.
- Stand-off or flushmount lock-in forms for components with lead diameter from .015″ to .060 (0.38 mm to 1.52 mm) and lead material from copper to steel.
- Feed loose or taped components with the same machine. Feed from reels with standard Tape Feeder or in bulk with optional Jacobs Ladder.
- Reduce setup time through repeatable station settings and GPD’s exclusive Calculator Software Package.
- The CF-8 meets the most difficult standards for stress-free/nick-free forming during the forming sequence.
- Standard tooling in stock.
- Station adjustments available in inches or metric.
Accessories
A complete line of accessories ranging from the Calculator Software to an Electronic Counter to the Transport Wheel System is available for use with the CF-8.
