Do you already have machines or are you shopping? If you're shopping and looking at used machines from Universal, get AT LEAST a Radial Lead III and preferably a V or VIII. The Radial Lead II is well past it's prime, especially for someone that's jus

I am currently having a problem with uncut legs on one side of axial components from a universal dual head insertion machine. Initially it was thought that the anvil on one side was engaging slow so I stripped down and changed the seals in the botto

Yes, we have an old Universal axial and they still offer independent machines for axial, radial and DIP components, but I do not have the floor space for that. Some offer "odd form" insertion machines (Juki, Hanwha, Cenncorp)which is the direction I

It's hard to poka-yoke loading reels onto the machine (either a inserter-sequencer or a sequencer, then getting the sequenced reels properly indexed). The only way I know of to make sure they've been set up properly is with visual inspection of EVERY

I have trouble loading the executive file into a universal DIP inserter (model 6796 unimod). the start of the loading goes well, but stops at byte 5689. the "run" light stays off. Anybody who knows these machine will know what I'm talking about. I

Due to couple of customers who still have some products that are completely through-hole, we use our Universal DIP and Axial equipment on a somewhat regular basis. Our machines are pretty old, but they work pretty well, and we don't do enough throug

are you trying to lengthen or shorten the lead length? Lengthening the amount of lead being cut off and going into the scrap tube will shorten the lead length. Lead length is pretty much determined by the down stop setting on the insertion head, the

The machine is a Universal 6796 DIP inserter. The driver card for the X axis burned a couple of resistors and a trace, probably a couple of power transistors too. I had a spare card and put it in. Now on powering-up the machine, the X-Y table move
