Abstract
A device for bending a leg of a component inserted on a printed circuit board. The device comprises an anvil (3) connected to one end of a rod (10) rotatably mounted to a frame (8) of the device. The rod (10) is rotatable by a motor (4) via a gear transmission means (6, 7 and 9) and a piston and cylinder arrangement (22 and 23) is provided to pivot a rod (24) to cause the anvil (3) to be raised or lowered with respect to a component leg. The anvil (3) is movable in translation by means of a slider (20) connected to the anvil. The slider is disposed in a drum (16) rotatably mounted on a piston (17) of a piston and cylinder arrangement (21). One arm of a bifurcate member (18) pivotally mounted to an interior face of the drum engages in an aperture in the slider and the other arm rests on the piston rod so that movement of the piston rod causes the slider to move back and forth, rotation of the drum is effected by means of the motor (4) via transmission means.
