Installing a bulk feeder onto the feeder table |
 |
|
|
- With using a mounter with a rotary head, electronic components in the feeder are worn away by movement of the feeder table, which deteriorates the solderability. Do not leave a bulk feeder installed on the feeder table for an extended period of time. Likewise, remove the bulk feeder from the feeder table when not in use.
- Check whether the bulk feeder is installed in the specified position.

Supplying electronic components to the bulk feeder |
|
|
|
- Do not put electronic components that have been scattered on the floor or desk into the bulk feeder.
- Do not dismantle taping-packaged electronic components to put them into the bulk feeder.
- Pay attention so that different components are not mixed together. Use one bulk feeder exclusively for a single type of component (specified by the part name). This prevents different components from being mixed together.
- The number of components supplied at one time must be equal to or less than the number of components contained in a single bulk case made to EIAJ standards. Supplying a larger number of components than specified may cause the component quality to deteriorate.
- Pay attention so that components from previous lots are not mixed with those from new lots. If components from previous lots remain in the feeder for an extended period of time, component damage may accumulate, deteriorating the quality of the components. Once all electronic components in the bulk feeder have been consumed, replenish the feeder with electronic components from a new lot.

Using the bulk feeder safely |
|
|
|
- Dirt or dust on the component transfer route greatly decreases the performance of the bulk feeder. Clean the feeder periodically.
- A fault with the moving part may damage the electronic components. Inspect the moving part periodically.
- If the bulk feeder is loosely installed, component quality may deteriorate. If any loose parts are found, stop the feeder and tighten the loose parts.
