Abstract
A head assembly for a cut-clinch mechanism that cuts and forms lead wires of an electrical component that extend down through openings in a printed circuit board. The assembly has a fixed knife and a movable knife driven by a pneumatic cylinder into cutting relationship with the fixed knife. The drive has a piston which encloses an electrical contact responsive to contact of the movable knife with a lead wire to signal the presence of the lead wire. The electrical contact is adjustable to fine tune the sensor.
