Station Adjustment
The CF-9's die stations are independently
adjustable to control forming and cutting
locations. The action performed on component
leads by each die station can be relocated from
a zero (0) position. GPD suggests setting the
zero (0) reference point at the machine's upright
plate (Figure 13, Item 1). This position also
corresponds with the lead wire point of
attachment to the tape. Refer to Taping
Specifications on page 30.
Backlash is eliminated during station adjustment
by three (3) beveled washers located on each
station adjusting bolt.
The standard micrometer scale (Item 2) attached to each station, indicates the
distance from the component's point of attachment on the tape to the point of station
action on the component lead. These scales are accurate to .0005" (0.0127 mm).

1. Position die block against
machine upright plate.
2. Turn on micrometer scale and
reset to zero (0).
3. Adjust die station using
