Classify by machine brand and model. Generally speaking, the feeders used by different brands of surface mounters are not the same, but feeders of the same brand but different models can usually be used interchangeably.
2. Classified by the delivery method. The Feeder type is usually in the form of bagged, tubed, or tray (also known as waffle tray).
3. The packaging also distinguishes the width of the tape. Common widths include: 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, 24mm, 32mm, 44mm and 52mm, etc. The spacing ranges from 2mm, 4mm, 8mm, 12mm and 16mm. The diameter of the spool is available in 7 inches and 13 inches.
The feeder is one of the most important components of a surface mount machine, and it is also a key part that affects the assembly capability and production efficiency in the assembly process. Some SMT surface mount machines directly use the number of available feeders as a criterion.
The SMT reflow oven picks up the components from the feeder at the designated position based on the instruc
