Universal has extended its comprehensive feeder range with the introduction of two new feeder families: The Gold dual-lane and the Black midrange electric tape feeder. The feature-rich functionality of the new dual-lane feeders builds on the success of this collection to deliver exceptional presentation of paper and embossed-packaged components. Supporting the requirements of high-speed chip placement, the 0201-capable 8 mm Gold dual-lane feeders are 100 % compatible with the firm’s Lightning rotary-motion surface-mount component placement head. In addition, continuous splice capability considerably improves line yield rates, boosting throughput by up to 30 %, while a PSV reel detection sensor enhances traceability for absolute line control.
The enterprise has also launched a family of single lane Black 8 mm and 12 mm electric feeders designed for medium to low-volume midrange applications. The new Lightning-compatible Black feeders offer a robust alternative to traditional pneumatic feeders, ideally suited to deliver value-driven performance in conjunction with its AdVantis platform. The spliceable midrange feeders share aspects of Gold functionality, guaranteeing repeatable part presentation with the precision drive train and ensuring traceability with a unique feeder ID.
Characterized by ease-of-use, low maintenance requirements and robustness, both feeder families are optimized for reduced feeder interrupts and improved component delivery performance.
