Has anybody else noticed a problem with Assembl�on's mechanical 12 mm feeders, with 4 mm pitch? We are experiencing grave pickup problems with a MELF diode packed this way and fed with this type of feeder. If I attach a hefty weight to the blister ta

Yes we've had problems with kemet caps on 12mm t/r. By the time it gets replaced, our production schedule gets so screwed up. Our immediate solution was to bypass and place them by hand before reflow. We eventually went with a cross from Venkel and i

Hi Well as the feed movement is effected by means of a spring return force there really isn't that much to do apart from checking the spring tension and keeping the friction surfaces of the ratchet mechanisms of the feed sprocket and the top foil pu

The feeders on the CSM84 actually feed the tapes forward by the force of a spring. On the 8mm and 12mm feeders the spring is loaded directly by the force of the push rod on the placement head. With the larger tapes like 16mm and 24mm, a stronger sp

Some other machines are a lot simpler. Here's how the Philips (mady by Yamaha) CSM84 works. Smaller tape (8 and 12 mm) feeders are all mechanical. A plunger on the head pushes a lever on the feeder at the same time the head comes down. First, the

I am using the AVK and am VERY pleased with it. One thing to keep in mind is incoming tape and reel has to be pretty exact. The parts are going into a feeder and if the width varies too much you'll have problems. After we got control of Tape and reel
