FUJI NXT II Feeder

FUJI NXT III Feeder

Dobeter supply a wide range of FUJI NXT II Feeder, the FUJI NXT II feeders are an evolution of the NXT series modular feeder system, designed for use with NXT II pick-and-place machines. Like their predecessors, they use a modular, tape-and-reel format that enables quick product changeovers and maximizes productivity. A key enhancement in the NXT II is the use of intelligent feeders, which help eliminate setup errors and ensure proper component delivery.

Key features

• Intelligent feeders: NXT II feeders use an ID function to automatically check components during setup. This helps eliminate errors that could cause incorrect placements. This function improves production quality and reduces downtime.
• High compatibility: The feeders are compatible with a wide range of component sizes, from small 0402 (01005″) chips to large, odd-form parts.
• Wider range of sizes: The NXT II offers a broad spectrum of feeder widths for different component types. Common widths include 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 44, 56, 72, 88, and 104mm.
• Backward and forward compatibility: Many NXT II feeders are backward compatible with NXT I machines. Many NXT II units can also be used on later NXT III machines, providing investment protection.
• Modular pallets: Feeders are mounted on modular pallets that can hold multiple feeders. These pallets are available in different sizes for different machine modules (e.g., M3 II, M6 II). They can be exchanged for offline setup while the machine is running.
• Electric drive system: The electric-driven system is designed for enhanced reliability. This minimizes tape jams and feeding errors compared to purely mechanical designs.

Example NXT II feeder models

• FUJI NXT II W08C

: This is an 8mm feeder for small components, often identified by part number KT8BB or KT8BL.

• FUJI NXT II W12C

: This is a 12mm feeder for medium-sized chips and ICs, part number KT12C.

• FUJI NXT II W16C

: This is a 16mm feeder, identified by part number KT16L.

• FUJI NXT II W32E/W32C

: These are 32mm feeders for larger components, with part number KT32A.

• FUJI NXT II W08F/W12F

: Newer “F” type feeders offer advanced features and are also compatible with NXT II machines.

Feeder maintenance and best practices

NXT II feeders require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. This includes cleaning, calibration, and inspection of moving parts. Issues such as inaccurate component pickup or feeding failures can be caused by dirt, worn-out gears, or improper calibration. SMT equipment suppliers often provide refurbished feeders and spare parts for maintenance and repairs.
