Samsung Feida Wear Parts Replacement Cycle Table

On the SMT production line, Feida is the "feeding port" of the placement machine. The Samsung Feida has been used by many factories for a long time due to its good stability and solid structure. However, no matter how good the equipment is, after long-term operation, the key components inside will also "get tired", especially some vulnerable parts. If they are not replaced in time, the consequences can range from material loss and tape jamming to the complete shutdown of the entire production line.

This article is designed to help you organize the common vulnerable parts in your Samsung Fida into a periodic table, informing you approximately how long each component can last and when it's time to replace them, so as to prevent you from encountering the worst problems during your busiest time.

Many factories maintain their Feida vehicles by "using them until they break down, repairing them and then reinstalling them", but this approach is actually not cost-effective. For instance, if the feeding spring breaks, you might not have even realized that a lot of material has already fallen off the patch. The internal structure of Feida is compact. Even the slightest aging of one component may cause the entire feeding rhythm to go wrong.

Rather than waiting for problems to arise before dealing with them, it is better to manage "vulnerable parts" as consumables and inspect and replace them in a planned manner. Not only does it reduce sudden malfunctions, but it can also stabilize the quality of mounting.

There's no need to disassemble everything for inspection every time. In fact, many problems can be identified just by "feeling" :

• Is manual feeding smooth? There is resistance, which means there is a jamming point or insufficient elasticity
• Was the Feida just installed on the machine misaligned? It might be due to loose structure or abnormal gear meshing
• Do you often submit incorrect materials? It is necessary to investigate the fatigue problem of the induction sheet or spring
• Does the Feida make abnormal noises or shake after being started? Most of them are related to gear wear or roller aging

If you pay attention to these small signals in advance, you can prevent major problems.

It is recommended that after the Feida has been in use for six months, a "deep inspection" be arranged once every quarter, which includes structural disassembly and inspection, lubrication, and replacement of spare parts. If the workshop has a large volume of surface mount technology (SMT) and frequent rotation of feeders, it is best to keep usage records for each feeder number, including when it was used, what problems occurred, and how many times it was repaired, all of which should be documented.

In this way, when making maintenance plans, it will be clear at a glance which Feidams are the "key focus" and which ones should be phased out in advance.

Since these parts are consumables, they need to be prepared in advance. The following are some recommended inventory ratios:

• Springs: Prepare 20% of the number of feidars
• Gears: Prepare 10% of the monthly usage according to the model
• Rollers/wheels: Prepare 1 to 2 wheels at a rate of once every quarter
• Induction sheet/spring sheet: Due to its long aging cycle, it is advisable to keep a moderate amount in stock for emergency use

Don't wait until "a small part is missing and a line is stopped" to find it hard to find accessories.

The Feida itself is not worth much, but once it breaks down, causing the assembly line to stop and requiring rework and repair, it's no small problem. And all these troubles can actually be avoided if you plan a few minutes in advance.

Don't wait until the Feida breaks down to check the problem. Replace the vulnerable parts as soon as possible. Feida will be worry-free and the production line will be smooth sailing.
