This machine automatically gang loads Bellows or Cantilever type contacts into edge card connectors. It is easily accessible for loading, service and maintenance, runs relatively slow to enhance wear and has a very high contact loading rate due to the gang loading. The contacts are pushed out of the bandoliers on reels. Carrier strip with die cut available. The insulators are manually loaded into a magazine from which they are automatically escaped and loaded into the machine and progressed through the operating stations by means of a "walking beam". Automatic feeder bowl optional. One row of contacts is pushed out of the bandolier and then inserted forward into the insulator The insulator is moved forward by the walking beam into a rotating device which rotates the part over as the contacts in the two rows are facing each other. From the rotator the insulator moves into the second station which is identical to the first, from there to hot stamp and tray load. All stations work simultaneously.
