Abstract

An insert sub-assembly of an insert device of a machine for processing and inserting parallel lead electronic components from an electronic component web carrier into lead receiving openings in a printed circuit board includes a first slider device slidably mounted on a frame. A driver mounted on the frame drives the first slider device. A second slider device slidably mounted on the frame cooperates with movement of the first slider device and includes a lead holding and guiding device for holding and guiding an electronic component and a push bar for displacing the component from a predetermined position to an inserted position under the control of the lead holding and guiding device. A feed device mounted on the frame is driven by an intermittent drive to feed the electronic component web carrier intermittently, pitch by pitch. A cutter separates one electronic component from the electronic component web carrier fed by the feed device. A transfer device includes a reciprocating unit for producing reciprocative movements between the cutter and the lead holding and guiding device and an electronic component holding device for holding a lead of the electronic component to be separa…
