SMT jumper feeder is a feeder used in SMT placement machines, mainly used to supply SMD jumpers (Surface Mount Device) to the placement head of the placement machine. SMT jumper feeders play a vital role in the electronic manufacturing process, ensuring that the jumpers can be accurately delivered to the pick-up position of the placement machine and complete the placement operation.
Definition and function of SMT jumper feeder
SMT jumper feeder is a key component in the SMT placement machine. Its main function is to supply SMD jumpers to the placement head, ensuring that the jumpers can be accurately placed by the placement machine to the designated position on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board). The feeder enables the placement machine to complete the placement task efficiently and accurately by sending the jumpers to the pick-up position of the placement machine in an orderly manner.
Types and characteristics of SMT jumper feeders
SMT jumper feeders can be divided into different types according to their structural and functional characteristics:
Tape-mounted feeder: Suitable for tape-mounted jumpers, common sizes are 8mm, 16mm, 24mm, 32mm, etc.
Tube-mounted feeder: Usually a vibrating feeder is used, suitable for tube-mounted jumpers, ensuring that the parts inside the tube continuously enter the pick-up position of the chip head.
Tray feeder: Suitable for tray materials, when using, pay attention to keep the exposed parts to prevent damage to mechanical and electrical properties.
Usage and maintenance of SMT jumper feeders
When using SMT jumper feeders, it is necessary to ensure their stability and reliability. Proper operation and maintenance can extend their service life and ensure the quality of patching:
Regularly check the transmission device and drive system of the feeder to ensure its normal operation.
Clean the residue inside the feeder to prevent blockage and failure.
Adjust the position and angle of the feeder to ensure that the jumper can be accurately delivered to the placement head.
Regularly calibrate the feeder to ensure the accuracy of its delivery.
Through the above introduction, we can better understand the definition, function, type, use and maintenance methods of SMT jumper feeder, so as to better utilize this key component in practical applications.
