yamaha zs feeder

The Yamaha ZS feeder is a type of electric tape feeder used for SMT pick-and-place machines, known for its high precision, speed, and compatibility with modern Yamaha equipment like the YS and YSM series. They use electric motors for stable and accurate component feeding.
Yamaha ZS Feeder Features
Electric Operation: Unlike older pneumatic feeders (like the CL series), ZS feeders use electric motors, which results in more stable and precise component feeding, especially for tiny components down to 0201mm size.
High-Speed Mounting: The electric drive mechanism and new control algorithms support high-speed operation, which improves overall production efficiency on compatible machines.
Wide Component Range: ZS feeders can handle a broad range of components, from ultra-small chips to medium-sized components up to 6.5mm square in height.
Ease of Use: They are designed with a tape setting mechanism for easy operability, allowing operators to quickly load and unload tape to reduce setup and changeover times.
Durability: Featuring high-grade components and a durable design (often using aircraft-grade aluminum alloy in accessories like feeder fingers), ZS feeders are built for long-term, reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
Compatible Yamaha Machines
The ZS feeders are primarily designed for integration with specific Yamaha pick-and-place machine series:
Yamaha YS series (e.g., YS12, YS24, YS88, YS100)
Yamaha YSM series (e.g., YSM10, YSM20, YSM40R)
Yamaha YRM series
