Function
- The radial tape feeder automatically feeds, shapes, trims, bends, and processes electronic components on tape for efficient manufacturing.
- By mounting the radial tape feeder on a pick-and-place machine (or similar proprietary equipment), DIP component placement is achieved, saving on labor and reducing the need for transfer processes.
- Installing the feeder on a custom-shaped insertion machine enables automated insertion, with the option to customize feeders for different insertion machines.
- The radial tape feeder can be integrated with non-standard equipment for automated insertion, heat shrink tubing application, and component forming.
- Custom feeders for various machine types can be tailored to customer specifications, including options for tape cutting, component bending, and other customization features.
