VI. Common faults and solutions
Fault phenomenon Possible causes Solutions
The material belt cannot be advanced 1. The ratchet is worn
2. The material belt is stuck
3. The drive mechanism is faulty 1. Replace the ratchet assembly
2. Clean the material belt path
3. Check the drive head of the placement machine
Inaccurate feeding step 1. Ratchet spring fatigue
2. Uneven material belt tension 1. Replace the reset spring
2. Adjust the tension of the tray
The material belt deviates 1. Improper guide groove adjustment
2. Guide rail is worn 1. Readjust the guide groove
2. Replace the guide rail
Abnormal noise 1. Insufficient lubrication
2. Bearing damage 1. Add grease
2. Replace the bearing
The material belt is easy to fall off 1. The pressure plate is deformed
2. The fixing screw is loose 1. Correct the pressure plate
2. Tighten all screws
VII. Maintenance Guide
1. Daily maintenance
Cleaning and maintenance:
Use an air gun to remove debris inside the feeder every day
Wipe the surface of the guide rail with non-woven cloth every week
Lubrication and maintenance:
Apply special grease to the moving parts every month (Kluber Isoflex Topas L32 is recommended)
2. Regular maintenance (every 6 months)
Comprehensive inspection:
Check the wear of the ratchet (wear > 0.1mm needs to be replaced)
Test the spring force
Deep cleaning:
Disassemble and clean all moving parts
Accuracy verification:
Use a standard tape to test the feeding accuracy (the error should be ≤ ±0.1mm)
VIII. Precautions for use
Tape loading:
Ensure that the tape enters the guide groove straight
Avoid twisting or folding of the tape
Environmental requirements:
Working temperature 10-40℃
Relative humidity 30-75%RH
Operation specification:
Release the material belt pressure plate completely when changing materials
Do not push the material belt manually
IX. Selection suggestions
Applicable scenarios:
Mass production of standard size components
Cost-sensitive production environment
Spare feeder requirements
Not applicable scenarios:
Precision placement requiring lack of material detection
Non-standard spacing material belt
