CF-9 User's Guide

Theory of Operation
The CF-9 performs the following steps during a cycle:
1. Feeds taped radial components from the reel holder through a pair of tape roller guides
into the feeding mechanism and the forming and cutting die stations.
2. Forms the component in the first die station.
3. Indexes the formed component to the second die station while simultaneously indexing the
next component into the first die station.
4. Cuts the formed component from the tape in the second die station, drops the component
in the component bin, and disposes of the tape down a waste tape exit chute while
simultaneously forming the component at the first die station.
5. Initiates next cycle.
NOTE
Depending on the components being processed and the desired component lead form, die
Station 2 may be used to both cut and form, just cut, or be excluded in order to leave
components on tape.
