Panasonic NPM Feeders

Dobeter provide a full range of Panasonic NPM feeders, which  are a family of electric feeders used on Panasonic’s advanced NPM (Next Production Modular) series of pick-and-place machines. These intelligent feeders are a major evolution from older pneumatic systems, offering superior performance in high-speed, high-accuracy electronics manufacturing. They are also compatible with Panasonic’s earlier CM-series machines. Unlike older pneumatic feeders, which use compressed air, Panasonic NPM feeders are driven by high-performance electric motors. This results in more reliable feeding and reduces wear and tear. The “intelligent” nature of these feeders means they communicate with the machine, providing information for autonomous production line control. This functionality supports features like:

• Feeder setup navigation: Software helps guide operators to install the correct feeders in the right locations.
• Component supply navigation: The system assists with component supply management, reducing errors.

Component size and tape width: Match the feeder type (8mm, 12-56mm, 72-120mm) with your components.
By incorporating Panasonic NPM feeders matched to your production needs and maintaining them properly, manufacturers can achieve high-precision, reliable component placement while maximizing throughput and reducing downtime in SMT processes.
