I know your frustration. CP6 feeders are notorious for this issue. They have always been an issue. You have probably went through the "change spring, change tape leaf, change component reel, place peeler tape over two rollers instead of three" scenar

hello, my colleague ProcEng1 is right. The main problems are the gears, which easily are stuck with foil, the shutter, which has to be lubricated and not bend. Air cylinders on the machine have to be changed if you have misfeeds still. They look pret

I saw WD-40 recomended as a lubricant for feeders. I might use it for a quick solvent rinse that I was planning to blow off all traces. Many years ago I put away some micrometers that had been sprayed with WD-40 after a year or so the solvents in the

Can anyone share some tips on cleaning pneumatic type feeders? Some feeders I have seem to be "lazy", unable to react fast enough to the the pickup heads. Someone told me to wash them in IPA, with no oiling at all, while somebody else advised to a

The front banks and head are fine. The rear ones aren't. When I look at how it has picked up a component, I have noticed that it is way off to the right (looking from the rear). This is ok for large components (TQFP, Tant Case A) but has caused the s

I take it you are talking about the older style IP feeders. If so, here is what you need to do..... Get yourself some mineral spirits,a tub you can submerse the parts in, and a couple nice paint brushes. 1.Dismantle the feeder and wash all of the

In case anyone is interested, I found a solution to the problem. The 3 nylon rollers that the overlay tape rides on have a tendency to build up crud inside them. They may appear to function correctly when there is no overlay tape pushing on them, but

Apparently the adhesive tape peels off from the joint, which could have some reasons. 1. There should be an overlap of the cover tape, as Cal mentioned. The new cover tape laying over the old by approx. 2mm. I also peel the cover tape a bit off, whi

Solder iron robots tend to miss solder joints from time to time. The wire feeder systems are the key to these machines. Most use the edge of the board for alignment is another reason they miss. If you have SMD close to the thru-hole, the robot may
