You answered a question on board talk that basically said, is there a pick and place machine that can insert leaded components.
Phil said yes with conditions and Jim said no. Yes there are pick and place machines that can insert through hole parts! Fuji uses a mechanical chuck and even sells a optional side view camera for lead detection. We can insert with up to 10kg force on any standard machine and even make a special odd form placement head for the NXT which we have been showing for the past 4 years at APEX.
By the way, Universal and Juki can also insert components.
