hanwha stick feeder

Hanwha stick feeders (also referred to as vibration feeders or tube feeders) are auxiliary feeding systems used for electronic components supplied in anti-static tubes or sticks, rather than in tape or trays. They are designed for odd-shaped components such as SOP, SOJ, PLCC, and various connectors that do not fit standard tape-based systems.
Hanwha Stick Feeder Models & Key Specifications
Hanwha provides specific stick feeders for both their SM and CP series of SMT placement machines.
SM Vibratory Stick Feeder: The primary model for the SM series of machines.
Occupied Slots: Typically takes up 6 feeder slots on the machine's feeder base.
Vibration Control: Uses a method where amplitude and frequency can be simultaneously varied to ensure smooth and correct component feeding.
Max. Sticks: Can use a maximum of 4 sticks (tubes) at one time, though "stack" versions can handle up to 9 sticks.
CP Vibratory Feeder: A similar solution tailored for the older CP series machines (CP40, CP45FV, etc.).
Component Compatibility
Stick feeders are essential for a specific range of components:
SOP (Small Outline Package)
SOJ (Small Outline J-lead)
PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier)
Connectors
Insert Components: For specific Pin-Through-Hole (PTH) parts whose leads are recognized using a horizontal laser system.
