Axial components are electronic components whose connection wires run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing so that the connection ends are arranged in a straight line on both sides of the component. Typical examples of axial components are resistors, capacitors and diodes. Specialized cutting and bending machines are used for the mechanical processing of these components, in particular for cutting and bending the connecting wires. These machines ensure precise, reproducible processing and contribute to process stability in electronics production.
