The SIPLACE Measuring Feeder X measures components but does not feed them. It has the same design and interfaces as the typical SIPLACE X feeders; hence the name has “feeder” in it. It is highly flexible as it can be added and removed while the machine keeps running, to support the complex set up process in high mix electronic product environment.
The SIPLACE Measuring Feeder X can measure electrical values of components like capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes (polarity), ranging between 0.3 x 0.6 mm to 3.2 x 6.0 mm in size.
When a new component tape is introduced, the first component will be measured and checked its component values matched with the description in SIPLACE Pro. If the first component matches, only the next component from this tape will be placed on a printed circuit board (PCB).
However, if a mismatch occurs, the feeder will be locked for pick-up.
Some reasons that contribute to the mismatch:
Usually, it is not necessary to test every component but random inspections in every lot will be performed. The very first component out of each tape is always measured in order to verify that the setup is correct.
