Hanwha Chip Mounter Feida Maintenance and Care Guide: How to Extend Service Life?

Friends who do surface mount technology (SMT) all know that Feida is the "supply army" of SMT machines, directly determining the placement efficiency and accuracy. Especially the Feida of Hanwha's surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine, whether it is used well and can work stably directly affects the rhythm and output of the entire production line. Today, let's talk about how to properly maintain and care for Hanwha's surface mount technology (SMT) machine Feida, so that it has a longer lifespan, fewer problems and runs more smoothly.

Feida is actually a complex device that combines mechanics and electronics. When it operates at high speed for a long time, the material belt continuously feeds materials through it. Components such as gears, springs, guide rails, and sensors will wear out or accumulate dust. Once the feeder gets stuck or has inaccurate positioning, it not only affects the accuracy of the surface mount technology (SMT), but also easily leads to line stoppage and delays production.

Therefore, regular maintenance of Feida, like giving the machine a "physical examination" and "maintenance", can not only extend its service life but also ensure the efficient and stable operation of the surface mount technology (SMT) machine.

1. Keep the Feida clean

   This is the most fundamental and also the most important. The fine debris, dust and oil stains in the material belt are prone to getting stuck in the gears and guide rails of the feeder, resulting in an unsmooth feeding process.

   Method:

   • Every day after work, use an air gun to blow off the dust on the flying motor.
   • Wipe the surfaces of the guide rails and gears with a soft brush or lint-free cloth.
   • Regularly disassemble the Feida and thoroughly clean the residual material debris inside.
   • Don't wash it with water. Electronic components are afraid of moisture. Make sure it is dry when cleaning.
2. Regularly lubricate mechanical components

   There are many metal gears, bearings and springs inside the Feida. If these mechanical components lack lubrication, they will wear out or even get stuck very quickly.

   Lubrication tips

   • Use dedicated mechanical lubricating oil. The amount should not be too much; a thin layer is sufficient.
   • Regularly oil gears and slide rails, especially high-speed rotating parts;
   • After lubrication, wipe off the excess grease with a clean cloth to avoid dust adhesion.

   Lubrication is the key to extending the lifespan of a feida. Don't skip this step.

3. Check the Feida spring and baffle

   The spring in the Feida is responsible for providing tension to the feeding belt, while the baffle is a key component of the positioning element.

   Inspection contents

   • Check if the spring has deformed, broken or its elasticity has weakened.
   • Check if the baffle is damaged or loose.

   If any abnormality is found, replace the parts in time.

   Once the spring becomes loose, the material strip will be loose and prone to material jamming, the baffle will not work well, and the component will deviate.

4. Pay attention to the sensors and contacts of Feida Electronics

   Hanwha's smart fiddler is equipped with sensors and ID chips, and these electronic components also need to be kept clean.

   Maintenance suggestions

   • Gently wipe the surface of the sensor with an alcohol cotton swab to avoid dust interfering with the signal.
   • Check whether the contact of the Feida socket is good and prevent the gold fingers from oxidizing.
   • Do not pull the connecting wires to avoid breakage or poor contact.

   These details determine whether the surface mount technology (SMT) machine can correctly identify Feida and prevent the problem of "Feida not recognized".

5. Form good operating habits

   Whether a Feida is good or not is also closely related to the habits of the operators.

   Good habits include:

   • Handle with care to avoid dropping or bumping the feeder.
   • When changing materials, follow the steps and do not force the material tape in.
   • Regularly check whether the Feida positioning is accurate and test the feeding belt before putting it on the machine.
   • When not in use, store it on a dedicated shelf or in a box to prevent deformation and dust accumulation.

   A considerate and meticulous operator can minimize the harm to Feida.

• Daily maintenance: Simple dusting and wiping to ensure that Feida has no material stuck.
• Weekly maintenance: Check the lubrication condition, add oil if necessary, and clean the deep residual materials.
• Monthly major maintenance: Disassemble the Feida for a thorough cleaning, inspect the springs, baffles, and sensors, and make necessary replacements.

Only by developing a regular maintenance plan can the lifespan of the Feida be effectively prolonged.

Although the Feida is small, it has many problems. Once you find that the feeding is not smooth, there are frequent material jams or the mounting is misaligned, don't delay. Remove it immediately for inspection. Do not handle it with brute force to avoid causing greater damage. When encountering problems that you can't solve by yourself, it's more reliable to contact professional after-sales service.

If Hanwha's surface mount technology (SMT) machine Feida is well maintained and serviced, it will not only extend its lifespan and reduce procurement costs, but also ensure the stability and efficiency of your SMT line. Don't underestimate these details. When the surface mount technology (SMT) machine runs steadily, the output and quality will naturally increase. As long as you master daily cleaning, lubrication, component inspection and good habits, Feida can accompany you for tens of thousands of hours without any problem.
