The card placing unit is a vertical placement design. The cards are picked from a 4-up magazine using vacuum suction cups. They are transferred straight down rotating 180 degrees into the clamshell using a feedscrew and stepper motor for positioning and speed. During the downward transfer the cards will be held in position over the placement point where tooling will engage the cards and form the multi-bend configuration. This tooling will form the legs of the card. A low level sensor will flash a light when the cards magazines need to be reloaded.
