Pneumatic Lead Cutting Machine — Flush-Cut a Full PCB Panel in Seconds

Still trimming component leads one by one? Uneven lead length, hand fatigue and burred joints are the most common quality complaints after soldering. Our single- and dual-cylinder pneumatic cutters turn hours of hand work into one press of a pedal — for PCBs, transformers and inductors.

Your Pain Points — and How We Solve Them

Every point below comes from what electronics factories tell us daily about post-solder lead trimming. Left column: the problem. Right column: what our machine does about it.

✕ Hand nippers slow the whole line down

Cutting leads one joint at a time caps your output and holds up the next process.

✓ One press trims the full panel

Lay the PCB panel on the bed, press the pedal — pneumatic cylinders shear every lead at once, in seconds.

✕ Lead lengths vary from batch to batch

Uneven lead length is the top customer complaint on finished transformer and inductor assemblies.

✓ Even pressure, flush cuts, every time

Dual cylinders press evenly from both sides. Every lead is cut flush — consistent, batch after batch.

✕ Burrs, bent leads and cracked solder joints

Cheap blades crush instead of shear, leaving burrs and stressing fresh solder joints.

✓ Hardened V-blades shear cleanly

Tool-steel V-notch blades cut thick leads cleanly — no burrs, no rework, no joint damage.

✕ Operators tire and quality drops mid-shift

Repetitive hand cutting causes fatigue, and tired hands make uneven cuts.

✓ One operator, one pedal, zero fatigue

Compressed air does the work. Your operator just loads, presses and unloads — all shift long.

✕ Odd panel layouts no standard blade can cut

Irregular component footprints and mixed pitches make generic cutters useless.

✓ Custom blades made to your layout

Send us your panel drawing — we cut custom V-notch pitch blades to match, caliper-checked before shipping.

Two Models: Single-Cylinder & Dual-Cylinder

Same shear principle, different press configuration. Pick by panel size and daily volume — or ask us and we will recommend one for your workpiece.

Single-cylinder pneumatic lead cutting machine for PCB
COMPACT · PROTOTYPE & LIGHT BATCH

Single-Cylinder Lead Cutter

One pneumatic cylinder with a precision guide drives the shear blade. Best for small PCB panels, samples, prototypes and spot rework where space and budget matter.

Dual-cylinder pneumatic lead cutting machine for PCB panels
PRODUCTION · FULL PANELS

Dual-Cylinder Lead Cutter

Two synchronized pneumatic cylinders press from both sides for perfectly even pressure across the whole blade. The production choice for full-size PCB panels, transformer and inductor batches.

Why Choose Autoproce Lead Cutting Machines

Eight reasons production lines keep our trimmers on the bench beside every wave-soldering and dip-soldering exit.

✓

Seconds per panel, not minutes

One pedal press shears every lead on the whole PCB panel at once — replacing hours of hand-nipper work per shift.

✓

Flush, uniform lead length

Rigid cylinder guidance presses the blade evenly across the full width, so every lead is cut to the same length — batch after batch.

✓

Clean shear, zero burrs

Hardened tool-steel V-notch blades cut instead of crush: no burrs, no bent leads, no stress on freshly soldered joints.

✓

Custom blades for any board

Send us your panel drawing or a sample board — we machine matching V-notch blades to fit irregular layouts and odd component pitches.

✓

Foot-pedal, hands-free operation

Pneumatic drive with a foot switch keeps both hands free for positioning boards — less fatigue, higher throughput per operator.

✓

Covers the whole post-solder range

From DIP PCB panels to transformer, inductor and relay assemblies — single or dual cylinder to match your panel size and volume.

✓

MOQ 1 · 7-day lead time

Buy one machine or equip the full line — standard models ship within 7 days, spare blades and seals stocked at the factory.

✓

Factory direct, engineer support

Direct from the Autoproce factory: export documentation ready, and WhatsApp access to engineers for setup, blades and after-sales.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions buyers ask most before ordering a lead cutting machine.

Single or dual cylinder — which do I need?
Single-cylinder suits small panels, prototypes and spot rework. Dual-cylinder presses from both sides and is the right choice for full-size panels and daily production. Send us your panel size and we will recommend one.
Can you make blades for my PCB layout?
Yes. Send your panel drawing or lead-pitch dimensions and we cut custom V-notch blades to match — every set caliper-checked before shipment.
Does it need electricity to cut?
No — the cutting action is fully pneumatic on standard workshop compressed air. Tell us your valve standard and we ship the matching pneumatic valve.
Will it damage solder joints?
No. The V-blades shear with even pressure — no pulling, no burrs, no stress on fresh joints.
How long do blades last? Are they replaceable?
Blades are hardened tool steel and replaceable. Keep a spare set on hand; custom-pitch sets can be ordered anytime.
MOQ and delivery time?
MOQ is 1 piece and standard models ship in about 7 days. Custom-blade orders add a few days for machining.
Do you ship worldwide? Warranty?
Yes — we export worldwide. The machine carries a 12-month warranty; blades are wear parts with spares available.
Can I get a datasheet or a test cut?
Message us on WhatsApp with your PCB panel photo — we will send the spec sheet, blade recommendation and a demo video of your type of board.

Stop Trimming Leads by Hand

Send us your PCB panel size and layout — we will recommend single or dual cylinder, quote the blade, and ship worldwide.
