The new Lightning-compatible Black feeders offer a robust alternative to traditional pneumatic feeders, ideally suited to deliver value-driven performance in conjunction with Universal's AdVantis platform.
The new, spliceable midrange feeders share aspects of Gold functionality, guaranteeing repeatable part presentation with the precision drive train and ensuring traceability with a unique feeder ID.
'These additions to Universal's feeder portfolio significantly enhance our ability to respond to the demands of modern production environments', explains Universal Feeders Director, Mike Cyr.
'Characterised by ease-of-use, low maintenance requirements and robustness, both the Gold dual lane and Black single-lane feeder families are optimised for reduced feeder interrupts and improved component delivery performance'.
'The standard 0201 capability of the Gold dual-lane feeder makes it ideal for high-speed chip applications, establishing a new level of reliability and presentation accuracy'.
'The inherent flexibility of the Universal feeder portfolio is further extended by the new Black feeders which present midrange manufacturers with superior, value-driven performance'.
