C044
I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Streckfuss model C044 is designed to cut and form the leads of loose axial components for
vertical mounting. A variety of form shapes are available through the use of interchangeable die
sets. Set up adjustments are simple to make and secured to provide accurate forming on every
component. Components are hand fed into the tooling with the body positioned between the
left die and the bending mandrel. Once in position the foot pedal is depressed and the right lead is
clamped securely against the bending mandrel to reduce stress. The die sets are then advanced
cutting and forming the leads in one motion. Depending on the form shape any dimples required
such as stand offs are put in the leads at this point. After the leads have been cut and formed the
die sets retract and the bending jaws advance to bend the leads to the 180
0
configuration. The
bending jaws and clamping die then retract and the finished component is ejected.
II. SETTING UP THE MACHINE:
1. Place the C044 on a suitable work surface. The surface selected should be sturdy enough
to support the weight of the machine.
2. Connect the three air hoses provided from the foot pedal to the machine as shown in
