JUKI RF Feeder

Dobeter supply a full range of the JUKI RF Feeder, which is an advanced, fully electric tape feeder used on JUKI’s modern pick-and-place machines. Representing a significant evolution from older mechanical and electromechanical feeders, the RF series offers improved accuracy, reliability, and speed for surface mount technology (SMT) production lines.

Key features of Dobeter ‘s JUKI RF Feeder

Electric motor-driven: The RF feeder uses an electric motor to advance the tape, providing more precise and stable component feeding than traditional mechanical or pneumatic feeders.
High accuracy: The precise control offered by the electric motor ensures high accuracy in component pickup and placement, which is critical for handling smaller and more sensitive electronic parts.
Compact and lightweight design: The RF series feeders are smaller and lighter than JUKI’s previous EF series models. This allows more feeders to be mounted on a single machine, maximizing feeder capacity and production flexibility.
Intelligent functions: RF feeders can communicate with the SMT machine, enabling features that streamline production.
- LED indicators: Visual indicators on the feeder show its operational status and flash to indicate an error, making it easy for operators to identify and resolve issues.
- Pick-up position correction: After a component is recognized by the machine’s vision system, any position error is communicated back to the feeder, allowing for automatic correction and stable, consistent pick-up.
Tool-free maintenance: RF feeders are designed for easy maintenance, with a removable tape peel cover that simplifies clearing jammers and performing routine tasks without tools.
One-touch pitch switching: On some RF models, the feed pitch can be adjusted with a single touch, improving efficiency during product changeovers.
Leaderless feeding (with feeder fingers): Accessories like the “Feeder Finger” for the RF08AS model can be used to feed short, cut strips of tape without a leader, reducing setup time and material waste.
