How to choose a Feida chip mounter? The differences and applicable models of different series of Hanwha Feida

Many friends who are just getting into the SMT assembly industry are often stuck by a question - how to choose Feida? Especially for those who use Hanwha surface mount technology (formerly Samsung surface mount technology) machines, when faced with so many models of Feida, they are really at a loss: what SM, CP, DN, JX Feida, it's so dazzling to look at. Today, let's talk about this topic and sort out the selection ideas and differences of Hanwha Feida in a more down-to-earth way for everyone.

Let's not rush to choose for now. We need to know what Feida is for.

In simple terms, a Feeder is a device that feeds the surface mount technology (SMT) machine. For a surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine to place components, it must have a source of components. Feida is responsible for transporting each component from the material conveyor belt to the designated location for the SMT placement machine to "pick up the components". The quality of Feida directly affects the accuracy and speed of surface mount technology (SMT) placement, and even the stability of the entire production line.

You can imagine Feida as the magazine of a vending machine. The chips are placed inside, and the machine pushes them one by one into the mounting positions according to the program.

Hanwha Feida

The classification of Hanwha Feida is both simple and complex. Let's categorize and sort things out:

Although Feida is just an "accessory" for surface mount technology (SMT) machines, to make the right choice, the following key points still need to be clarified:

1. What model are you using? The models are different, and the Feida interfaces are also different. SM cannot be used with JX, and JX cannot be plugged into DN either. The first step in selection is to confirm the model and interface standard of the surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine.
2. What is the width of the tape you pasted? The most fundamental parameter of Feida is the width - 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, these refer to the width of the material tape. Different components correspond to different material tapes. If the width is wrong, the feeder won't be able to "feed" the material.
3. Is the production line's rhythm requirement high or not? Some factories emphasize speed. In such cases, DN or smart feeder can be chosen. If stability is the top priority, then choose SM mechanical feeder. Different series of Feida models each have their own advantages in terms of stability and speed.

Many friends only focus on the price when buying a fit, and as a result, they end up with a bunch of refurbished or compatible ones. When they reinstall them, either the materials get stuck or the parts fall off. No matter how small the Feida is, it is still one of the core components in the SMT process. Don't save a few hundred yuan and miss orders worth several thousand yuan.

• It is recommended to purchase through regular channels. It is best to find a service provider specializing in Hanwha equipment. Not only can you get the original parts, but you can also enjoy warranty services.
• If the budget is limited, you can choose a second-hand Feida from the original factory in good condition, but be sure to test it thoroughly.

If you choose Feida well, you won't have to worry about surface mount technology. Although Hanwha Feida has many models and may seem a bit confusing at first glance, in fact, as long as you figure out the model of the surface mount technology (SMT) machine, the width of the components you want to mount, and your requirements for production line efficiency, it won't be difficult to choose. The SM series is suitable for most general surface mount requirements, being stable and practical. DN Feida is suitable for scenarios that pursue efficiency. The JX series is flexible and lightweight, and is very convenient for small-batch production. Intelligent Feida, on the other hand, is more suitable for enterprises upgrading to "smart factories".

In a word, don't blindly follow the trend to choose Feida, and even less should you buy a bunch of incompatible models just to save money, only to end up with all your efforts in vain. Only by clarifying the requirements and matching them accurately can your surface mount technology (SMT) placement machine run steadily, place accurately and earn more.

I hope this article can help you sort out your thoughts, avoid making mistakes and choose the most suitable Feida!
