Abstract From the Canadian patent

An electronic component insertion machine includes an insertion head having a pair of finger assemblies which grip a component prior to insertion. Each finger assembly has an actuating lever secured to a pivot shaft and a finger holder releasably clamped to the pivot shaft. The actuating levers have surfaces which are maintained in engagement throughout their displacement so that rotation of one effects a conjoint rotation of the other and are displaceable to advanced positions. The finger holders are then unclamped oriented to, their desired orientations relative to their actuating levers and then clamped in position.
