Is your machine rejecting acceptable parts?

YES => Reprogram the machine NO => Search the fine SMTnet Archives, for instance: http://www.smtnet.com//forums/index.cfm?fuseaction=view_thread&CFApp=1&Thread_ID=2952&#Message12049&

Well assuming that the parts are genuinely damaged when rejected and you want to rework them to reduce scrap,you could use a shadow graph and get the mechanical spec on clear film.Then rework accordingly you should be able to rework most leads.

Remeber Do not use any probes or fixtures to hold the lead down while soldering or rework .....this is a bad idea. I would remove the component and replace or gently push the lead back into coplanarity and resolder. This all can be done at most rework stations. Dave posted a good question...Why is your PNP machine placing bad parts?

Also you have to be carefully because to many stress can damage the component internaly
