Juki FF Feeder

The Juki FF Feeder is a mechanical tape feeder tailored for surface mount technology (SMT) assembly lines. It is engineered for high reliability, quick changeover, and wide tape width compatibility, boasting broad compatibility with Juki’s mainstream pick-and-place machine series such as KE700, KE2000, KE3000, and FX. Its primary function is to stably transport components packaged in wide tape (including 12 mm, 16 mm, 24 mm, 32 mm, 44 mm, and 56 mm widths) to the pick-up position, supporting mass production and mixed-model assembly of multiple component varieties.
Core Positioning & Applications
Type: Mechanically driven, featuring a mature structure and low maintenance costs. It is often used in conjunction with small-width feeders like CFR/CF to form a comprehensive feeding solution covering small, medium, and large tape widths.
Applicable Components: Medium-to-large packaged components such as SOP, SOT, SOIC, QFP, and LED. It supports both paper and plastic tapes.
Typical Scenarios: Mass production lines in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and communication equipment industries. It is particularly suitable for processes requiring high uptime and efficient changeover.
Key Features & Advantages
High Precision & Stability: The optimized gear and material pressing mechanism minimizes vibration and offset, improving pick-up success rates. Its mature mechanical transmission system ensures low failure rates, making it ideal for long-term continuous operation.

Uptime Optimization: It supports on-line splicing and non-stop material replenishment, reducing unplanned downtime. It can be mixed with electric feeders for flexible capacity and cost configuration.
