Operation

Once a specific PCB is programmed, the machine automatically picks up each component from its designated feeder or tray, centers the part and moves to the placement location, and accurately places the part. The feeders automatically position the next component for pick-up.

Feeders

Easy to change feeders are available for tape, tube, bulk or matrix tray components
Standard tape feeder sizes include 8 mm, 12mm, 16 mm, 24 mm, 32 mm and 44 mm
The vibratory feeder can handle loose and tube components
Cut Tape Strip Holders are available in various configures from 8MM up to 24MM width lanes
Unique SuperStripTM feeders are a convenient way to use short tape strips
Feeder positions are pre-programmed for quick set-up
