Juki CFR CTFR Feeder

Juki CFR CTFR Feeder

Dobeter supply all kinds of JUKI CFR and CTFR feeders are types of tape feeders designed for use with JUKI pick-and-place machines, particularly older models in the KE and FX series. These JUKI CFR and CTFR feeders offered by Dobeter are an evolved version of the older, purely mechanical CF feeders, incorporating enhancements for better performance.
Key features of JUKI CFR and CTFR feeders
• Electromechanical design: These feeders use an electromechanical mechanism for advancing the component tape, offering more reliable and accurate feeding than older, entirely mechanical feeders.
• Tape width variations: They are available in different sizes to accommodate a wide range of tape widths, from 8mm for small chip components (0201, 0402, 0603) up to 72mm for larger parts.
• Pitch options: Like other JUKI feeders, CFR/CTFR models come in different pitch configurations (e.g., 8x2mm, 8x4mm), which is the distance between components on the tape.
• Backward compatibility: Both CFR and CTFR feeders are compatible with a long list of legacy JUKI machines, including the KE and FX series. Some versions are also compatible with more modern machines.
CFR vs. CTFR feeders
While sharing many core features, these models differ slightly, often related to design refinements or specific applications.
• CTFR as an upgrade: JUKI launched the CTFR series as an upgrade to the older CTF models. The CTFR improves on earlier designs to handle modern component sizes, including very small 0201 components.
• Feeder fingers: Some CTFR feeders can be adapted with “feeder fingers,” which allow for the feeding of short, cut strips of component tape without requiring a leader or splicing. This reduces setup time and component waste.
• Alternative names: The CTFR can be referred to interchangeably with CTF or CFR depending on the context and model number.
Common compatible JUKI machines
• KE series: KE-710, KE-720, KE-2010, KE-2020, KE-2030, KE-2040, KE-2050, KE-2060, KE-2070, KE-2080.
• FX series: FX-1, FX-2, FX-3
.
• Other models: The feeders also work on various other JUKI platforms, including some RSE, RX, and RS-1 machines, though the high-speed RF electric feeders are more common on the newest models.
