Analysis and Solutions to Common Material Jamming Problems of Hanwha Feida

Hanwha Fenda is an "old friend" of many surface mount technology (SMT) factories. It is convenient to use and has stable performance. But to be honest, the problem of material jamming remains the most troublesome old issue. Once the feeder of the surface mount technology (SMT) machine gets stuck with materials, it not only affects efficiency but may also cause the machine to stop the production line and hinder production. Today, let's talk about the common reasons for Hanwha Feida material jamming and practical solutions to help you quickly identify and deal with it in a timely manner, avoiding being troubled by material jamming.

First, let's talk about what's going on when the material gets stuck?

Material jamming, in simple terms, means that when Feida is feeding materials, the material tape cannot pass smoothly, and the components cannot be delivered to the placement head position on time, causing the machine to alarm and stop. The manifestations of material jamming may be that the material tape is stuck, components are piled up, the tape is broken or the feeding is discontinuous.

Several reasons for the high incidence of Hanwha Feida card materials
The tension of the material tape is not appropriate

This is one of the most common reasons. If the tension of the material tape is too loose, it is prone to deviation, resulting in incorrect component positions or even getting stuck on the guide rail. If the tension is too tight, the feeding will not be smooth and the Feida gear will have difficulty rotating.

A small tip: The tension of the material tape should be moderate. It should neither be too loose nor too tight. Feel the tension of the material tape with your hand or adjust the force of the Feida spring.
The gears or guide rails of Feida are dirty and clogged

2. The feida gears or guide rails are clogged with dirt

The gears and guide rails of Feida are the key parts for feeding materials. Once dust, debris and oil stains accumulate, it is easy for the material belt to get stuck.

Solution
  • Regularly blow ash with an air gun;
  • Clean the guide rails and gears with a soft-bristled brush;
  • If there is oil stain, it can be wiped with an alcohol cotton swab.
Remember: Keeping the feeder clean is the key to ensuring smooth feeding.
3. The specification of the material tape does not match that of the feeder

Sometimes when purchasing or changing materials, if the width or thickness of the material tape does not meet the specifications of the feeder, for instance, using the wrong 8mm material tape and putting it into a 12mm feeder, or if the material tape is too hard or too soft, it may lead to material jamming.

Reminder: Before purchasing the material tape, make sure to confirm the width supported by Feida and the material of the tape to avoid problems caused by non-compliant specifications.
4. The springs and baffles are aged and damaged

The spring inside the Feida is the key component that provides tension for the feeding belt, while the baffle is responsible for positioning the elements. Loose, deformed or broken springs, as well as damaged stoppers, can all lead to loss of control over feeding and a significant increase in the probability of material jamming.

Suggestion: Regularly inspect the springs and baffles. Replace them promptly if any problems are found. Don't wait until they break down and affect production.
5. The Feida is not installed properly or the interface is abnormal

If the feeder is not inserted tightly, or if the feeder interface is dirty or has poor contact, the machine cannot accurately read the feeder's status, resulting in feeding errors or even material jamming.

Tip: Every time you change the feeder, make sure to hear the "click" sound to ensure it is inserted tightly. Keep the interface clean at the same time.
The components in the material tape are abnormally arranged or damaged

6. Abnormal arrangement or damage of components in the material tape

If the components in the material belt are not neatly arranged or have defects themselves, the feeder is also prone to getting stuck when feeding materials.

Practice: When purchasing, choose components with guaranteed quality. Before use, check the condition of the material tape to avoid material jamming caused by inferior components.
Quick troubleshooting steps when encountering material jams
  1. Observe the position of the material jam: Is it near the feida entrance, the guide rail, or the mounting head? Only by accurately identifying the bottleneck can the right solution be applied.
  2. Check the tension of the material tape, adjust the force of the spring, and see if it can advance smoothly.
  3. Clean the Feida gears and guide rails, especially the debris and dust.
  4. Confirm whether the Feida installation is in place and whether the interface is clean and free of looseness.
  5. Check the specifications of the material tape and the status of the components to ensure compliance and qualification.
Practical suggestions for preventing material jamming
  1. Form the habit of cleaning Feida every day, especially on the high-yield line.
  2. Regularly replace the springs and stoppers to maintain the elasticity of the components and accurate positioning.
  3. Use material tapes that meet the specifications of Feida and do not use hard-stuffed material tapes.
  4. Train the operators to operate in a standardized manner, handling and releasing the conveyor belts gently.
  5. Factories that adopt intelligent feidars can monitor the status of Feidars through the system and issue early warnings.

Although the material jamming problem of Hanwha Feida is common, as long as the causes and solutions are mastered, it can basically be handled by oneself. Don't be afraid of material jamming. As long as timely troubleshooting and scientific maintenance are carried out, the stability and lifespan of Feida will be greatly enhanced. Only when your surface mount technology (SMT) machine runs smoothly can the production line produce output steadily and efficiently.
