Abstract
Electrical components of various sizes and shapes are appropriately accommodated and positioned at a gauging station, at which lead straightening and testing of electrical functioning of each component is performed. An alternate embodiment provides for distinguishing between acceptable and unacceptable components by differentiating between component lead tips and a contrasting background, through use of an optical scanner.
