Related Accessories – Samsung 12mm Pneumatic Feeder

1. Mechanical Components

Tape Guide Rail (Tape Track / Carrier Rail)
Ensures smooth and accurate feeding of 12mm component tape.

Cover Tape Pusher / Separator
Lifts and separates the cover tape to expose components for pick-up.

Upper Cover Plate / Clamp
Holds the tape in place and prevents it from lifting during advancement.

Feeder Locking Pin / Knob
Secures the feeder into the feeder slot on the machine (e.g. locking latch or quick-release pin).

Reel Holder / Tape Spool Shaft
Holds component reels (typically 13” or 15”) in position for unwinding.

2. Pneumatic Components

Air Cylinder (Feeding Actuator)
Provides the linear motion to advance the tape one pitch at a time.

Air Push Rod / Slider Linkage
Transfers motion from the air cylinder to the tape advancement mechanism.

Return Spring
Resets the slider mechanism after each advancement stroke.

Air Tube Connectors / Quick-Fit Couplings
Allows connection to compressed air supply.

Muffler or Silencer (optional)
Reduces air noise during venting.

3. Maintenance and Test Tools

Feeder Calibration Jig / Alignment Fixture
Used to test and align feeders outside the machine.

Manual Test Box
Provides manual air control for off-machine feeding tests.

Feeder Cleaning Brushes
Removes dust and debris from guide rails and moving parts.

Feeder Storage Rack
For organized storage of multiple feeders when not in use.

These parts are essential to ensure:

Smooth tape feeding
Proper alignment
Reliable component pick-up
Easy installation/removal during production

FAQ Guide – Samsung 12mm Pneumatic Feeder

1. What is the Samsung 12mm Pneumatic Feeder used for?

It is designed to feed 12mm wide carrier tape containing surface-mount components such as larger resistors, capacitors, small ICs, and power devices into Samsung CP-series SMT machines using compressed air for tape advancement.

2. Which SMT machines are compatible with this feeder?

Compatible with Samsung pneumatic feeder platforms including:

CP40 / CP40L
CP45 / CP45FV / CP45NEO
CP60 Series

These models use pneumatic feeders rather than electric.

3. How does the feeder operate?

The feeder uses a compressed air cylinder to index the tape forward step-by-step, exposing the next component for pick-up by the machine’s placement head.

4. What air pressure is required?

Typical operating pressure is 0.4 to 0.6 MPa (4–6 bar). Proper air pressure is critical—too low causes feeding failures; too high may damage tape or components.

5. What tape types and sizes does it support?

Tape width: 12mm
Component tape: Embossed plastic or paper tape
Typical components: Larger chip resistors (1206, 1210), diodes, small relays, electrolytic capacitors.

6. What are common issues and troubleshooting tips?

7. Which parts commonly need replacement?

Air Cylinder (J70541004A)
Return Spring (J90651007A)
Tape Guide Rail (J66021002A)
Cover Tape Pusher (J66011003A)
Locking Pin / Knob (J70613008A)
Air Tube Connectors (J70631015A)

8. How can I test or calibrate the feeder?

Use a feeder calibration jig (J13013001A) or a manual test box (J13014002A) to simulate feeding cycles and verify proper tape advancement outside the SMT machine.

9. Does it support cover tape rewinding?

Optional cover tape rewind reels (e.g., J13014004A) may be available but are not standard on all models.

10. What is the recommended maintenance schedule?

Daily: Clean tape path, check for debris
Weekly: Check air pressure and hoses, inspect springs and moving parts
Monthly: Lubricate cylinder if needed, replace worn mechanical parts
Quarterly: Perform full inspection and rebuild if necessary
