Hi Phil,
That's a easy question me at the present, we don't have any auto-insertion equipment, so it's all done by hand, but then again we do very little PTH.
But at the last company I worked at all the radial stuff was done by hand. We had a sequencer, VCD, and DIP Inserter, and the company before that we had a sequencer, two VCD's, a DIP inserter, and three Contact CS-400's.
I've only worked for one company that had a dedicated radial inserter and that was out in California quite some time ago...

Ok, here is my question for this week.
We still build many PTH boards. Traditional design using radial lead ceramic capacitors. I'm being told that "99%" of contract manufacturers can't machine insert radial leaded parts. So the desire is to change our ceramic caps to axial leaded.
To the CMs reading this, what are your capabilities for inserting radial leaded ceramic capacitors, by hand only or automatic?
In-house we use Contact Systems semi-automatic placement machines and this is not an issue.
