Two feed cams (Figure 7) can be used with the mechanical feed applicator.
The
pre-feed
cam advances the lead terminal over the anvil on the upward stroke of the ram assembly
so that a terminal is over the anvil when the machine is at rest. The pre-feed set up is typically used for
side-feed bench applications.
The
post-feed
cam advances the lead terminal over the anvil on the downward stroke of the ram
assembly. The post-feed set up is typically used for leadmaker and end-feed bench applications.

These feed cams can be mounted in two different mounting holes, depending on machine stroke length and
feed type (Figure 8 and Figure 9). When not in use, the spare feed cam can be mounted to the applicator
housing in the spare feed cam storage location (Figure 6).
