Introduction
This document is intended for use by those who install, operat e and maintain GPD's CF-9 Radial
Lead Forming Machine (GPD Part# CF9. BASE.120 or CF9.BASE.230).
CF-9 Radial Lead Forming Machine
GPD's self-contained CF-9 Radial Lead For ming Machine has become the industry standard for
versatility, accuracy , repeatability, and ease of setup and change over. The CF-9 forms and cuts
to length a wide variety of two- and three-leaded taped radial components such as TO-92's,
capacitors, transisto rs, and LED's. It processes both st andard and special forms precisely and
repeatedly.
Two die stations with st andard micrometer scale indicators adjust independently. Performing
adjustments with the micrometer scales enables quick setup of proper forming and/or cutting
settings.
As the first component moves through the system, i t is presented to two die stations. The first
die station is generally used to form components, and the second to cut components from the
tape. Depending on the components being processed and the desired component lead form,
the second station may be used to both cut and form, just cut, or be excluded in order to l eave
components on tape.
The indexing system, the heart of the CF-9, drives the studded transfer belt. The studs, or pins,
on the belt pick up the tape holes and index exactly
The CF-9 is ruggedly constructed of heavy duty parts and sealed ball bearing shaft assemblies
for low maintenance. All of the machine's parts are precisely made and treated to pr event
corrosion, enhance appearance, or facilitate proper function.
The tape roller guide includes studded pr otrusions to hold the component tape sol idly in place —
the tape cannot run off the driv e belt mechanism. Waste tape feeds down a tape exit chute and
out to the side of the machine for easy disposal.
The CF-9's capabilities expand with its Loose/Bulk Component Feeder and Automatic Taped
Component Re-reeler accessories by combining the functions of several machines into one.
Additional accessories such as the Elect ronic Component Counter, Component Detect ion
System, Lazy Susan, Work Station, and Footswit ch are also available to help increase your
production and profit.

CF-9 Lead Forming Dies
The CF-9 offers unique versatility through the use of a large selection of dies. The CF-9
operates on a system of di es and die blocks. Each die combination is designed t o form a
specific lead configuration. Numerous standard and special CF-9 Lead Forming Die sets are
available to provi de a variety of component forms and lead configurations. Many different die
sets for various transi stor hole patterns are also available.
A minimal amount of preparation time is required to reset the machine for processing different
component sizes. Dies are easi ly replaced within minutes.
GPD's CF-9 dies are precisely manufactured using a unique die const ruction process. Most
dies are built with a sectional, laminated construction method for exceptional wearing ability.
Before lamination, all dies are buffed and polished to exacting smoothness, particularly in the
actual forming and cutting ar eas.

CF-9 User's Guide
Theory of Operation
The CF-9 performs the following steps during a cycle:
1. Feeds taped radial components from the reel holder through a pair of tape r oller guides
into the feeding mechanism and the formi ng and cutting die stations.
2. Forms the component in the first die station.
3. Indexes the formed component to the second die station while simul taneously indexi ng the
next component into the first die station.
4. Cuts the formed component from the tape i n the second die station, drops the component
in the component bin, and disposes of the tape down a waste tape exit chute while
simultaneously forming the component at the first die station.
5. Initiates next cycle.
NOTE
Depending on the components being processed and the desired component lead form, die
Station 2 may be used t o both cut and form, just cut, or be excluded in order to leave
components on tape.

Operating Instructions
I M P O R T A N T
Read this manual before turning the power on. Failure to follow the instructions i n this
manual could result in damage to the machine and/or dies. Uneven forming of t he
component leads and/or machine failure could result.
Requirements
• The component reel tape must be sturdy enough to maintain adequate component pitch to
prevent improper component feeding. If tape integrity is acceptable, the component body
will be supported and stress will not be placed on leads during lead forming.
• Taped component leads must be straight to prevent misfeeding and unacceptable lead
forms. GPD's Component Detection System identifies bent components and stops
machine operations to prevent die breakage. Refer to the CF-9 Accessories appendix.
Suggestions
• Use quality component s on quality tape.
• Planning prior to lead for m ing operations is suggested as this enables users to quickly
produce the maximum number of components for a gi ven system configuration.

Station Adjustment
The CF-9's die stations are independentl y
adjustable to control for ming and cutting
locations. The action performed on component
leads by each die stat ion can be relocated from
a zero (0) position. GPD suggests setting the
zero (0) refer ence point at the machine's upright
plate (Figure 13, Item 1). This position also
corresponds with the lead wire point of
attachment to the tape. Refer to Taping
Specifications on page 30.
Backlash is eliminated during station adjustment
by three (3) beveled washers located on each
station adjusting bolt.
The standard micrometer scale (Item 2) attached to each station, indicates the
distance from the component's point of attachment on the tape to the point of station
action on the component lead. These scales are accurat e to .0005" (0.0127 mm).

4. Record your micr ometer setting. Then machine can be setup quickly the next
time you process t he same component type.
5. Repeat Station Adjustment procedure for remaining die station.
Component Alignment
The CF-9 indexes exactly 1/2" (12.70 mm) every time,
however, component position relative to the t ape hole
may vary from your last run due to variances between
vendors or lots because:
• Distance from tape hole to component lead wire
may vary (Figure 15, Item 1) .
• Tape hole may be located betw een or under
component (Items 2 & 3).
A variance requires readjusting component alignment
with die stations — a simple matter of repositioning a
pulley (Figure 16, Item 4).

2
C A U T I O N
Testing component position relati ve to dies
MUST be done prior to automatic machine
operations.
To align components with die stations:
1. Manually index machine with hand crank just until components are centered
between dies and just before die touches component wires. Turn hand crank
slowly while visually inspecting for the relative position between components
and tape holes.

Dies should just start coming together - they should NOT be closed or
touching component.
C A U T I O N
DO NOT rotate mechanisms in reverse to check timing.
2. Loosen bolt in drive pulley (Figure 16, I tem 4) with supplied 3/16" wrench.
3. Manually turn pulley in either direction to cent rally position a component
between each die station.
