Straighten .300" - .900" ICs with No Tooling Changes

Straighter IC leads equal faster insertion times.  8 pin to 40 pin DIP packages with lead centres of .3", .4", .6", .750", and .9" can be quickly and easily straightened with Elite Engineering's Straitelle.  Fully adjustable in centre spacing and body height, the Straitelle requires no tooling changes.  Simply dial in the correct setting to quickly convert the system from one package size to another.  The system accepts component manufacturers IC tubes and transfers processed parts to either empty tubes or bins.  A variable speed drive belt, constructed of conductive material, transports the components through the straightening rollers into the empty tube. 
 
 

  
Straighten and Cut .300" - .600" ICs with Minimal Tooling Changes

The Cropelle DIP Processor straightens leads to the proper centre spacing for simpler hand insertion, and cuts leads to the proper length eliminating the need for pre/post solder trimming.  DIP packages with .300", .400", or .600" centres and lead counts from 8 pins to 40 pins can be straightened and cut with a single machine at speeds up to 15,000 pph.  Parts can be fed to and from standard IC tube packages.  Two dials adjust lead spacing and cut length to ensure perfect repeatability.  Interchangeable centre rails allow conversion for different body widths in minutes.  The conductive drive belt transports components through the various straightening and cutting stages, while a built-in counter maintains the total number of parts processed. 
  
  

  
Straighten, Cut, and Form On One System

Straighten, cut and form to either gull wing (SMD) or clip-in configurations with the Formelle DIP processor.  DIPs with centre spacings of .300", .400", .600", .750", and .900", and lead counts of 8-40 pins can be processed tube-to-tube.  Centre spacing, cut length, and body height settings are all dial adjustable for maximum repeatability.  Two separate models are available:  The Formelle CI provides a clip-in form for part retention and includes adjustable crimp for stand-off heights from .071" - .197", whereas the Formelle GW converts conventional DIPs into an SMD configuration with an adjustable foot length and .045" stand-off height.  Like all Elite DIP Processing models, a conductive conveyor belt provides ESD protection.  The built-in counter also maintains the total number of parts processed.
