Morning All!
 
We have an assembly here that we're trying to reduce the labor on. It's
a rigid-flex board that has this high pin count AbleConn connector
installed. Take a look at:

and:

I'm looking for a shear that can trim all the pins to length in one
shot. You've probably seen them before, you know, a pneumatic foot pedel
operated little gizmo. 
 
I've got a Simonds unit here and am not too happy with it. Besides, it
doesn't have the capability to shear pins in that large of an area.
Fancourt makes a unit called a D-2C/L lead cutter that has a 4" X 4"
working area and should handle this connector. I'm currently waiting on
a quote from them.
 
I'm just checking with you all to see if you know of anybody else that
might make a lead shear to do this connector. There's over 450 pins on
this little jewel and we're having to trim them one-by-one. 
 
I know what you're thinking and before you ask, I already checked. We
can't get the connector with the pins already trimmed to the length we
need them...
 
Kind regards,
