PM1

The PM1 is a component Pre-form Machine designed to cut to length and pre-form axial lead components ready for fitting into PC boards, where the component is parallel to the board. The components may be fed in bandolier form (assuming a 5mm pitch between components or multiple thereof) or loose by means of the built in chute slots. A separate plinth is available to raise the height of the machine by 80mm. Where it is not practical to site the handle over the edge of a bench. Components cut and formed without scoring or damaging the leads. Wire links can also be rapidly produced from bandoliered wire. General construction features anodised aluminium body with heavy steel sides. The free running blades are 35mm diameter and produced in M2 high speed steel. The cutting and bending wheels are n high carbon steel, all are hardened and tempered as appropriate. The machine will cut and form a comfortable and effortless 40000 components per hour.

• Adjustable steel anvils for producing a perfect score free bend on wires up to 1mm diameter
• Ø35mm Free running cutting wheels minimising wear and maximising efficiency and ease of use
• Built-in scales on top of machine for pitch and down lead adjustment
• Guards are fitted all round the cutting and bending wheels for protection of fingers
