The ASM 32mm SmartFeeder (00141374) is the standard, sensorless version of the SmartFeeder for the SIPLACE X series (the variant equipped with splice detection is model 00141394). It is specifically designed for 32mm-wide component tapes (compatible with a range of 28–32mm).
Core Specifications
The feeder has a physical width of 42.6mm and occupies 4 feeder slots on the feeder cart. It supports a programmable advance increment of 4–40mm (adjustable in 4mm steps), allowing for flexible adaptation to the pitch requirements of various components. It accommodates components with a maximum height of 8mm and supports tape thicknesses ranging from 0.2mm to 1.5mm. Material replenishment takes less than 45 seconds, while the entire feeder module can be swapped in under 15 seconds, helping to minimize machine downtime.
Design and Reliability
Constructed with a reinforced cold-rolled steel frame, the unit offers approximately 40% greater structural rigidity than traditional designs, ensuring stability during high-speed feeding operations. It features a dual-ratchet drive system—with primary and secondary ratchets working in tandem—to ensure the smooth, consistent advancement of wide component tapes. The feeder is designed for a service life exceeding 20 million feeding cycles, and its modular architecture allows for the independent replacement of key components, thereby reducing long-term maintenance costs.
