Loose/Bulk Component Feeder
Process both taped and loose radial components on one machine by using the Loose/Bulk
Component Feeder. This accessory provides the perfect solution when you need to form a
relatively small number of components and they are not available or are too expensive on tape.
Load up to ten (10) components in a magazine, place magazine in staging fixture, and then
lightly press each component down to the top of staging fixture. Remove the magazine and your
components are perfectly aligned, ready to feed directly into the CF-9 in exactly the same
manner as you would feed a strip of taped components. There are four magazine sizes based
on center-to-center requirements with a 1" (25.40 mm) minimum lead length requirement.
Taped Component Re-Reeler
Now you can form and re-reel radial components for automatic insertion in one operation. With
this accessory, the CF-9 feeds taped components into the first die station, forms them, skips the
normal trim operation and sends components straight to the Re-Reeler. Special flattening
blocks can be inserted in the trimming station if additional dimple alignment is required. The re-
reeler automatically reloads the taped components back on a reel after the forming process is
complete.
The optional CF-9 Taped Component Re-Reeler has been specially modified with a slip clutch
assembly on the drive motor shaft to allow the operator to adjust drive shaft tension. Increasing
shaft tension causes taped components to wind tighter. Decreasing the tension results in more
loosely wound components.
Work Station
The CF-9, dies, and various operational tools can all be mounted on this specially constructed
work station which provides vibration free operations and optimum storage space. The CF-9
Work Station's heavy duty construction includes a 3/8" (9.53 mm) thick aluminum top, a 1"
(25.40 mm) tubular steel frame, and inlaid steel panels.
