The ASM 2x8mm Smart Feeder (00141479) is a dual-lane feeder designed for the SIPLACE Xi series, engineered for the efficient handling of small 8mm component reels.
Its primary advantage lies in its dual-lane synchronous feeding capability: a single unit integrates two independent 8mm feed lanes, allowing for the simultaneous loading of two different types of components. This effectively doubles the number of available feeder slots without requiring additional space on the feeder cart, thereby significantly increasing the component capacity and production efficiency of the placement machine.
As a standard version without integrated sensors, it does not feature automatic detection for remaining tape length or component positioning; therefore, operators must monitor the supply status through other means. Compatible with ASM/Siemens Xi series placement machines, this feeder utilizes a high-precision stepper motor and gear drive to ensure stable and accurate dual-lane feeding. It serves as a practical solution for addressing space constraints and frequent reel changes in high-mix, low-volume production environments.
