4. Introduction
The Radial 8XT, which can insert up to 21,000 components per hour, is an exceptionally high speed (0.17 sec./ins.) Radial Sequencer/Inserter.
The Radial 8XT may be configured either as a Dual Span or a Triple Span machine. A Dual Span Radial 8XT inserts 2.5 mm/ 5.0 mm lead span components into printed circuit boards (PC boards).
A Triple Span Radial 8XT inserts 2.5 mm/5.0 mm/7.5 mm lead span components into PC boards.
The Radial 8XT may be configured in a straight back or in-line sequencer configuration, with or without internal board handling or loader/unloader.
Selected configurations of the Radial 8XT are CE marked.
5. Functional Description
Reels or ammo packs of radial leaded components are loaded on the sequencer module, dispensed, and inserted in the programmed sequence.
Component dispensing heads remove components from the carrier tape and place them in component carrier clips located on the sequencer chain assembly. The sequencer chain assembly transports the components to the insertion area. While the components are on the sequencer chain assembly, the carrier tape is removed and the component is verified (if equipped with an optional Expanded Range Verifier [ERV]). The component transfer assembly transfers components from the sequencer chain assembly into the insertion head tooling. The insertion tooling guides the leads through the holes in the PC board. The cut and clinch unit cuts, and then forms the leads, securing the component in the PC board.
