Boy am I fast asleep today. Sorry Jason, I thought Steve sent the email. And I was wrong about Schleuniger, its Streckfuss. But I am going so far as to give you the exact part number of the machine that can do the job. It is CO58, check it out at http://www.streckfuss.com/co58.htm -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Jason Gregory Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 10:10 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] Connector Shear... Steve, Have you considered the Q Corp Lead-o-matic? I've used them in the past and they work very well (with sharp blades, of course) http://www.qcorporation.com/lom-ii.html Jason Gregory Manufacturing Engineer Innova Electronics (281)653-5593 (281)653-5594 fax (281)594-0602 cell [log in to unmask] -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Steve Gregory Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 9:54 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Connector Shear... 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: http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/Connector_Top.jpg and: http://stevezeva.homestead.com/files/Connector_bottom.jpg 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...
