Samsung SM Feeder Finger

Operators are faced with an assortment of issues when it comes to loading tape and reel feeders. When using Feeder Fingers these common problems are virtually eliminated. The Samsung SM cut tape feeder finger solution is designed to work with the Samsung SM pneumatic feeders to improve the feeders efficiency by significantly reducing setup and changeover times.

Feeder Fingers are the latest innovation direct from the USA taking the hassle out of feeding cut strip tape for electronic manufacturers.

A first of its kind, Feeder Fingers are a unique component that fits onto a surface mount feeder and works by efficiently feeding through the cut strip component tape to the surface mounter, completely eliminating the need for tape splicing.

Feeder Fingers are manufactured by a top tier San Diego based company and are crafted with aircraft grade aluminium. Only the highest quality grade aluminium is selected ensuring strength and durability for years of dependable use.

Each part is rigorously tested in a range of conditions, including at customer sites, to deliver a product of unmatched quality, durability, compatibility and performance.

Set up is as easy as plug and play. Simply feed the tape through the feeder using the supplied tape push tool and you’re ready to go in as little as 10 seconds!

Your feeders can now be loaded and unloaded in seconds, reducing production setup times by as much as 40%.

FAQs: Your Samsung SM Feeder Finger Questions Answered

1. What is the Samsung SM Feeder Finger and what issue does it solve?

The Feeder Finger is an accessory for Samsung SM pneumatic feeders designed to feed “cut strip” or shortened component tape without needing to splice or add leader/trailer tape. It addresses common issues like cover-tape jams and long setup/changeover times.

2. How quickly can the Feeder Finger be installed and made ready for use?

Setup is plug-and-play. Using the supplied tape push tool, the cut tape is fed through, and the feeder is ready to run in about 10 seconds.

3. How short can the tape strip be when using the Feeder Finger?

It handles cut tape strips as short as three inches (≈ 76 mm), allowing flexibility when using small quantities or short runs.

4. What component sizes and tape types is the Feeder Finger compatible with?

It is compatible with typical component sizes such as 0603 / 1206, uses 8 mm carrier tape width, 2.5 mm tape depth (8 mm feeder spec), and works with paper‐carrier tapes only. It works for both full reel and cut tape.

5. What are the durability and build quality features of the Feeder Finger?

Made from aircraft-grade aluminium, the Feeder Finger is built for strength and durability. Parts are rigorously tested, including at customer sites, to ensure consistent and long-lasting performance.

6. How much setup time savings can be achieved using the Feeder Finger?

Users can expect up to 40% reduction in setup or changeover time, since tape splicing and other time-consuming steps are eliminated.

7. Does the Feeder Finger help prevent common feeding problems such as cover tape jams?

Yes — one of its features is to eliminate cover-tape jams that often occur with short strip or cut tape feeding. This improves feeder reliability.

8. Is the Feeder Finger retrofit-compatible with existing Samsung SM feeders?

Yes — it attaches easily to existing Samsung SM feeders, meaning you don’t need new feeder hardware to take advantage of its benefits.
