The bulk feeding system increases the productivity of equipment.
As shown below, we will take the case of continuously mounting 100,000 pieces of "0402C"-size chip components. The number of times that preparation work is necessary for mounting 100,000 pieces is shown below.
During actual production processing, a type of electronic components are not mounted continuously. On the other hand, several types of electronic components are mounted in combination to produce equipment.
Some time for preparation work (3min.) is required to supply the electronic components. If the mounter is stopped during the preparation work, the mounter must remain stopped for 45 minutes with taping packaging, and for 12 minutes with bulk packaging. Using the bulk feeding system reduces the amount of time the mounter must be stopped.
When using the bulk feeding system, supplying electronic components only requires that the bulk case be coupled with the feeder and that the shutter be opened. Troublesome tape rewinding work is not required.
As the operating speed of the mounter increases, the percentage of time spent on preparation work out of total production time also increases. The bulk feeding system enables shorter preparation time and easier handling, thus enabling high-speed mounters to operate at their optimum capabilities.
