Count On Tools Unveils Mini StripFeeder
Gainesville, GA —Count On Tools Inc. (COT) has launched the next version of its award-winning StripFeeder Sys- tem for loading tape-and-reel compo- nents onto compact modules for proto- typing and high-mix, low-volume ap- plications. The StripFeeder Mini in- corporates the same award-winning design of the original StripFeeder in a smaller, compact package (134 x 152mm). This package is well suited for smaller prototype and rework ma- chines as well as most SMT pick-and- place equipment. The StripFeeder Mini’s compact
design is better equipped to handle short strips of components, such as 2 to 4-in. of tape for both prototyping and low-volume, high-mix applica- tions. It offers increased lane capaci- ty with the ability to run two StripFeeder Minis in the same space as one original StripFeeder. The Mini is a lower cost option than OEM feeders, both standard and custom. In addition, the StripFeeder Mini in- corporates removable rails that can be mounted to accommodate a wide array of tape sizes in the same feed- er. The rails align with precision pin locaters and lock down tightly. The StripFeeder Mini rails also
have a mechanical lock-spring to hold the tape in place by the sprocket hole for part registration and repeatable pick-and-place applications. This means the user only has to teach the pick-up location one time and consis- tently reload the unit with the same parts over and over for longer runs. The innovative design holds the com- ponents securely in the machined
tracks to prevent parts from being miss-picked, flipped in the pocket or lost. Customers also can remove rails to accommodate larger components up to 120mm tape width. The StripFeed- er Mini system is compatible with most types of SMT equipment.
Mini Stripfeeder. The StripFeeder systems are a
cost-effective way to load many compo- nents, including odd-form and custom components, without having to pur- chase expensive feeders. The quick-to- assemble, easy-to-install modules are designed for rapid loading of tape-and- reel components on existing SMT pick- and-place equipment. In addition, the trays enable fast changeover between product runs without unloading from the machine. The StripFeeder trays are com-
patible with both paper and embossed tape simultaneously, and are especial- ly suitable for low-volume high-mix
applications and prototyping. Contact: Count On Tools Inc.,
