Samsung vibration feeder

The Samsung vibration feeder, also known as a Samsung stick feeder or tube feeder, is an SMT (Surface Mount Technology) component used with Samsung/Hanwha pick and place machines. It employs vibration to feed electronic components that are packaged in tubes (sticks), typically used for integrated circuits (ICs), diodes, and connectors.

Key Features and Specifications
Feeding Mechanism: Uses precisely controlled vibration to move components along a track to the pick-up location. Some models may use a puff of air for the final transfer.
Component Packaging: Specifically designed for components supplied in rigid anti-static tubes or sticks.
Compatibility: Compatible with various Samsung/Hanwha SMT machine series, including older CP series (CP40, CP45FV) and modern SM and Decan series (SM481, SM482, DECAN S2).
Adjustability: The amplitude and frequency of the vibration strength are typically adjustable to accommodate different component sizes and ensure a stable flow.
Common Samsung Vibration Feeder Types
Samsung/Hanwha offers different variations of stick/vibration feeders to suit specific production needs:
CP Series Stick Feeder: Pneumatic/mechanical feeders designed for the older CP line of machines. They are a cost-effective solution for handling standard ICs in tubes.
SM Series Stick Feeder (SBFB10701K): Designed for the SM and Decan series mounters, these often integrate with the machine's control system and may be part of the "SMART Feeder" system for better tracking and setup.
