Auto Loading Feeders
The Auto Loading Feeder from FUJI SMT is revolutionizing the surface-mount technology (SMT) industry by simplifying the process of part setting and supply. This innovative device is designed to be user-friendly, ensuring that anyone can efficiently manage the assembly line.
Features and benefits of Auto Loading Feeders
Easy for anyone to set parts
Setting new parts
The work for setting and supplying parts has been greatly simplified.
All the operator has to do is insert the carrier tape tip into the feeder after processing the tape tip and push a button on the feeder. *1
The feeder automatically loads the carrier tape and even locates the first pickup position.
*1: Using dedicated jig scissors to cut the tape end is recommended.

Setting replenishment parts
This feeder resupplies parts without performing splicing.
Simply insert the tip of the carrier tape from the replenishment reel into the feeder and set the reel in the holder to complete resupplying. *1
When parts in the carrier tape currently being used run out, that carrier tape is ejected. The parts in the replenishment carrier tape are loaded to the pickup position and production is continued.
Unlike when using splicing, carrier tapes do not need to be connected to each other, so there is no need to worry about machine stoppages caused by poor connections such as pitch deviations or gaps between tapes.

Parts can be supplied at any time
Since parts are replenished without splicing, replenishment part reels can be set at any time without worrying about the part usage status.
By distributing the part replenishment timing and balancing the workload, it is possible to prevent machines stops caused by supply delays.

Improved productivity
Productivity is improved because error stops caused by splicing mistakes are eliminated and short stops caused from feeder exchange are reduced.
