Smart Feeders

The latest in intelligent

component handling

HANDLE ANY COMPONENT

Mycronic’s modular feeder system ensures both

unrivalled ﬂ exibility and ease of use. Choose from a

combination of intelligent feeders and magazines

covering tape, stick and tray carriers, all of which

are designed to handle the full range of today’s SMT

components. Mix, switch and reload components

as production needs change, and the system will

instantly re-optimize to maintain the highest possible

e ciency at all times.

ENJOY THE INDUSTRY’S FASTEST AND MOST

HELPFUL FEEDER

The standard Agilis tape feeder can be loaded in less

than ten seconds. Ultra-compact and comprising no

moving parts, Agilis is a durable, reliable feeder solu-

tion that is both fast and easy to use. Plug-and-play

simplicity means you can load and unload feeders in

seconds, saving countless hours of operator time.

Specially designed software automatically recog-

nizes the presence, absence and location of compo-

nents, which means you never have to program pick

positions and production doesn’t stop if a feeders

runs out of parts. Instead, the machine alerts the

operator, re-optimizes and continues mounting other

components. You can also replenish feeders quickly

and easily while the machine is mounting.

Whatever your production size, barcode scanning

eliminates manual entry of feeding parameters

during loading and unloading, making setups and

changeovers faster than ever.

KEEP TRACK OF COMPONENT DATA AT ALL TIMES

From component storage and retrieval to loading

and optimization, components are automatically

traced every step of the way. As all magazines and

Agilis feeders are given a unique ID, the operator can

check quantity, location, MSD data and batch codes

at any point during production.

Regardless of whether you request a single feeder

or tray, or automatically process a complete kitting

list, the system records every movement and seam-

lessly keeps track of all stored reels and component

quantities.

Mycronic feeder systems provide

the most intelligent and agile

component delivery solution on

the market. Whether it’s tape,

stick or matrix tray feeders, or

components of any shape and

size, Mycronic’s feeders are

designed to deliver the utmost in

reliability, performance and easy

operation.

As today’s variety of SMT components grows, so does the need for smarter,

more ﬂ exible feeder solutions. Agilis tape and stick feeders and tray handling

systems are designed to meet this demand. While the word “intelligent” has

become something of a buzzword today, we at Mycronic call our feeders

intelligent as they provide quantity and location tracking, operator guidance,

simpliﬁ ed data entry, moisture sensitive device (MSD) handling and on-the-ﬂ y

changeovers. In short, our feeders are designed to make our customers’ work

more e cient and therefore more productive.

The groundbreaking

concept continues

TAPE FEEDERS

A revolution in feeder design, Agilis tape feeders

signiﬁcantly reduce changeover and setup times.

With or without take-up reels, they are extremely

fast to load and unload, and can handle an almost

endless variety of tape components. Preloaded

Agilis feeders can even be stored along with tape

reels, ready for instant use in the next job. Automatic

location detection means that feeders can be placed

anywhere in the machine, giving you true plug-and-

play functionality, even during operation.

For fast handling and traceability, unique barcodes

identify speciﬁc component reels and connect them

to a particular feeder. The machine automatically

detects the location of each reel based on the feed-

er’s unique identity. This allows you to rearrange the

feeders into any position in the machine, even during

operation. Fine-tuning in both the x- and y-axes is

done automatically through pick oset data regis-

tered by the vision system. The magazine has a linear

motion mechanism, which ensures smoother, faster

and more controlled acceleration and deceleration.

The Agilis feeder system is

designed to handle practically all

tape and stick components. The

simplicity of its design means you

can now load and unload feeders

in a ﬂash and save countless hours

of operator time.

The award-winning Agilis feeder system’s unique ﬂexibility allows you to

mix and match single feeders, or replace all your feeders at once – depending

on how you want to work. Now, using the new Agilis Flex feeder, you can

conﬁdently switch between components of virtually any size and pocket

depth. Whichever feeders you choose, you can count on intelligent functions

that consistently ensure quality and enhance productivity.
