PPM's Cut Tape Feeder for Quad Pick & Place

PPM's Cut Tape Feeder for Quad Pick & Place Description:

PPM has released a new "Cut Tape Feeder" for working with less than a reel of components. Manufactures are now able to pick from short sections of taped components.

The feeder is leader less, manually indexed, latches into the feeders bases of the Quad Q Series machines & C Series machines. The cut tape feeders are available in 8mm paper, 8mm plastic, 12mm, & 16mm.

Import the new configuration file and the cut tape feeder can be added to the current tabletop configuration.

Older versions of Q-Soft will require a software update at no extra charge. PPM does not support Windows 3.1. PPM’s cut tape feeder IS compatible on DOS C-Series platforms as well as our Windows XP upgrade.

PPM has spent the last 15 years serving the SMT industry with better and more accurate feeders. As technology is rapidly increasing, using tape feeders means companies are struggling to place smaller components.

The standard 8mm fat feeder, by itself, cannot index a 2mm pitch on smaller components. PPM offers a new 8mm feeder with 2mm indexing and improved indexing and repeatability that reduces or eliminates mispicks. The feeder is interchangeable with all Quad model pick & place machines. The feeder will no longer index two components at a time.
