Abstract
An improved head assembly, for an electronic component lead cutting and clinching mechanism, having an improved construction for detection of lead absence or presence incorporating pivotal anvils which complete electrical circuits during the cutting and/or clinching of the component leads. The pivotal anvils cooperate with pivotal cutter-former arms which are actuated by a reciprocable driver. The driver includes a receiving and orienting tip for aligning the scrap portions of the leads for evacuation from the head assembly. Adjustable eccentric pins allow adjustment of the anvils for manufacturing tolerance corrections and for lead receiving orifice corrections.
