Applicable components include, butare not limited to: E-Capacitors, 5mmaxial resistors, hairpin resistors, boxcapacitors, transistors, diodes, LEDs,SIPs, potentiometers, fuse clips, tactswitches, coils, etc.

The simple to use, operator environ-ment provides machine operation, diag-

nostic support, management data, anda graphical product editor for easy pat-tern generation and maintenance.

Universal’s Radial 8XT machines are available, as manual load with CEcovers or with “change on the fly”capable covers. It is also available withUniversal’s internal board handling system for automatic PCB transfer.Automated board handling supportsbare board-to-magazine, bare board-to-conveyor, magazine-to-magazine, andmagazine-to-conveyor. The internalboard handling system allows in-linesystem integration with other throughhole or surface mount machines.

New to the Radial 8XT is the capabil-ity to insert components at 1° orienta-tion increments.

The Radial 8XT Dual Span and Triple Span

machines bring a new level of productivity

to the Generation 8 platform. With an

insertion speed of 21,000 cph (0.17

sec/ins), the Radial 8XT is the fastest

radial sequencer/ inserter in the industry.

New features for reliability and flexibility

yield higher throughput than ever before.

Universal’s Radial 8XT offers consistent,

high throughput regardless of component

type, with insertion spans from 2.5/5.0

mm (Radial 8XT Dual Span) to 2.5/5.0/7.5

mm (Radial 8XT Triple Span).
