COMPLETED
with some of the most useful and innovative features in
the industry, Autotronik Smart Tape Feeders are setting
a new standard for accurate, dependable, and economical
surface mount component presentation. A new slim-profile
design maximizes the number of feeders that can be mounted
in the space available on the pick and place machine and
provides ultra-smooth, electronic actuation and tape advance.
Each
individual Autotronik Smart Tape Feeder has a DB-9 interface
connector on its front end and, in seconds, easily plugs
in to either the 48-port FR-48K or 32-port FR-32K Smart
Feeder Bases on BS Series pick and place systems. This
interface allows communication between the Autotronik
Smart Feeder Control Software and the memory module built
into each Smart Feeder. The memory module stores a unique
ID number that links feeder hardware with assigned feeder
position data, component data, and even tape indexing
data.
