Feeder label and part number
Record the complete number shown on the physical feeder rather than relying on a shortened purchasing description.
- Base part number
- Revision or suffix
- Original label wording
ASM Feeder Identification Center
ASM Feeder Models and Replacement Matching Guide
Identify the correct ASM feeder by checking the complete part-number label, carrier-tape width, feeder configuration and SIPLACE machine information. This guide helps maintenance, engineering and procurement teams move from an uncertain feeder request to a verifiable replacement specification.
- Part-number verification
- Tape-width selection
- Configuration comparison
- Replacement matching
Start with the label
Use the complete number, suffix and visible configuration.
Do not match by width alone
Confirm the feeder version and machine application before ordering.
How do you identify the correct ASM feeder?
The safest starting point is a clear photo of the existing feeder label. Combine the complete part number with the tape width, physical feeder configuration and ASM SIPLACE machine model. A matching tape width or a similar outer appearance alone is not sufficient evidence of interchangeability.

Identification Evidence
Four details that define an ASM feeder request
A useful feeder request contains evidence that can be checked. Providing these four details helps reduce incorrect substitutions, repeated quotations and avoidable production delays.
02
Carrier-tape width
Confirm the actual tape width required by the component package and production setup.
- Compact 8mm configurations
- 12mm and 16mm tape
- 24mm and wider tape
03
Physical configuration
Check the tape path, interface area and any visible sensor-related configuration on the existing feeder.
- Side-view comparison
- Connector and interface
- Sensor-related hardware
04
SIPLACE machine information
Provide the complete placement-machine model and, where available, the current feeder setup used on the line.
- Machine model
- Existing feeder family
- Replacement requirement
Matching Process
How we verify an ASM feeder replacement
The process starts with the existing feeder, not with a generic product name. Each step adds evidence until the required configuration can be quoted clearly.
01
Read the complete feeder label
We first check the complete part number, suffix, tape-width information and any visible identification data. The base number should not automatically be treated as the complete ordering specification.
02
Compare the physical configuration
The feeder body, tape path, sensor-related components and machine-side interface are compared with the requested replacement. This step helps detect differences that are not obvious from a shortened product name.
03
Confirm the SIPLACE machine application
The placement-machine model and current feeder arrangement are reviewed together with the label information. Machine names are supporting evidence rather than a substitute for the physical feeder identification.
04
Define the required replacement route
The final recommendation may be an exact-number replacement, a verified equivalent configuration, repair of the existing feeder or another option supported by the available evidence.
05
Confirm condition and testing scope
Before order confirmation, the offered feeder condition, identification, testing scope, quantity and delivery requirement should be recorded clearly in the quotation.

Matching Confidence
Not all feeder matching evidence has the same value
A reliable replacement decision should be based on several matching points. The following levels explain why an exact label match is stronger than a visual or tape-width-only assumption.
Strong evidence
A
Exact identification match
The complete feeder label, suffix and physical configuration correspond with the required replacement.
- Complete part-number label
- Matching tape width
- Matching physical configuration
- Confirmed machine application
Needs verification
B
Cross-reference candidate
The available information indicates a possible replacement, but one or more details still require confirmation.
- Base number without suffix
- Machine model is known
- Physical photos are available
- Final version check is pending
Insufficient evidence
C
Width or appearance only
The request contains only a tape width, broad product name or visually similar feeder photo.
- No readable label
- No machine model
- No configuration details
- Replacement cannot be confirmed
Frequently requested ASM feeder reference numbers
These links are provided as examples from the current feeder range. Always confirm the complete physical label and required configuration before treating a base number as an exact replacement specification.
Replacement Options
Choose the replacement route supported by the evidence
A replacement project does not always require the same solution. The appropriate route depends on the feeder identity, existing condition, production urgency and available matching evidence.
Exact-number replacement
Suitable when the complete feeder label and configuration can be verified against the required unit.
- Clear identification trail
- Lower matching uncertainty
- Useful for standard replacement planning
Verified alternative configuration
Considered when the original number is unavailable and an alternative can be supported by machine and configuration evidence.
- Requires cross-reference verification
- Physical and machine checks required
- Not based on tape width alone
Repair the existing feeder
Appropriate when the original unit can still be identified and the reported fault is suitable for technical evaluation.
- Retains the known feeder configuration
- Requires fault and condition assessment
- Can be compared with replacement cost
Verification Checklist
What should be checked before an ASM feeder is shipped?
The exact inspection scope depends on the offered condition and service agreement. At minimum, identification and visible feeder condition should correspond with the confirmed quotation.
01 Identity verification
- Check the complete feeder part-number label.
- Record the suffix or revision shown on the unit.
- Compare the offered unit with the approved request.
- Confirm the quoted tape-width configuration.
02 External condition
- Inspect the feeder body and mounting areas.
- Check the tape guide and visible tape path.
- Inspect covers, levers and accessible moving parts.
- Record visible wear or previous repair marks.
03 Feeding-related checks
- Check the tape-advance movement where applicable.
- Inspect the sprocket and tape-guidance condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
ASM feeder model and replacement FAQ
These questions focus specifically on feeder identification, part-number matching and replacement verification.
How can I identify the model of my ASM feeder?
Start with a clear photo of the complete feeder label. Record the part number, suffix, tape width and any printed configuration details. Then provide the feeder side view and the complete ASM SIPLACE machine model.
Is tape width enough to select an ASM feeder?
No. Tape width identifies a general feeder group, but feeders with the same nominal width may differ in version, sensor configuration, interface or machine application. The complete feeder label and physical configuration should also be checked.
Why is the suffix after an ASM feeder part number important?
A suffix may help distinguish a revision, assembly version or supply configuration. For this reason, the complete number printed on the physical label should be provided instead of only the shortened base number.
Can feeders with Siemens and ASM labels be interchangeable?
Brand wording alone does not confirm interchangeability. The actual part number, feeder configuration, interface and machine application must be compared before a replacement is approved.
What should I do when the feeder label is damaged or unreadable?
Send full photos of both sides of the feeder, the interface area, tape path and any remaining label information. Also provide the machine model and details of another known feeder currently used in the same position.
How do I confirm whether a sensor configuration is required?
Compare the existing feeder hardware, complete label and production requirement. A sensor-related requirement should not be assumed from the tape width or base part number alone.
Should I repair my existing feeder or purchase a replacement?
The decision depends on the fault, feeder identity, physical condition, production urgency and availability of a verified replacement. Send the label, fault description, photos and operating video for evaluation.
What information is required for an ASM feeder quotation?
Provide the complete part number and suffix, feeder-label photo, machine model, tape width, required quantity, preferred condition, delivery country and whether the request is for supply, replacement or repair.
