o Motor driven ETF can feed sensitively for ultra small components, steadily and fast.
o Change the feed pitch on the feeder by using the appropriate buttons
o Feeder status on display by lighting of LED and 7 segment LED.
o LED display shows the feeder positions when running the machine.
o 12mm feeders are the same size as 8mm feeders enabling you to put more 12mm feeders on a trolley.
o No need to stop the machine when replenishing components by using splicing function!
o Reduce down time! You can easily replenish components anytime!
o You can change any tape feeder safely while still running the machine.
