ASM Siemens 03086217-01 X16N Complete Rocker for SIPLACE Feeder

ASM Siemens 03086217-01 X16N Complete Rocker for SIPLACE Feeder

The ASM Siemens 03086217-01 X16N Complete Rocker Assembly is a mechanical replacement component designed for compatible SIPLACE X16N feeder systems. As part of the feeder's internal operating mechanism, the rocker assembly participates in controlled mechanical movement during tape feeding and indexing operations.

In high-volume SMT production, feeders operate through thousands of repeated mechanical cycles. Continuous movement, contamination, incorrect handling, or normal wear can gradually affect moving feeder components. When the rocker mechanism develops excessive wear, deformation, looseness, or restricted movement, feeder operation may become inconsistent.

Replacing a confirmed worn or damaged rocker assembly with the correct 03086217-01 component can help restore the feeder's mechanical operating condition. It is suitable for SMT factories, feeder repair centers, maintenance teams, equipment refurbishment companies, and spare-parts distributors handling ASM Siemens SIPLACE feeder systems.

Key Product Information

Cause – Why the Rocker Assembly May Require Replacement

The rocker assembly operates as part of a repeated mechanical feeder cycle. Over extended production periods, its operating condition can be affected by normal mechanical wear or improper handling.

Common conditions that may require inspection include:

Feeder problems should not automatically be attributed to the rocker assembly. A complete inspection of related feeder mechanisms is recommended before determining which component needs replacement.

Solution – Restore the Feeder Mechanical Mechanism

When inspection confirms that the existing rocker assembly is worn, damaged, or mechanically unsuitable for continued use, replacement with the corresponding 03086217-01 X16N Complete Rocker Assembly provides a practical maintenance solution.

A correctly installed rocker assembly can help:

• Restore controlled mechanical movement.
• Maintain consistent operation of the feeder mechanism.
• Reduce problems associated with excessive mechanical wear.
• Support stable tape-feeding cycles.
• Improve feeder condition after refurbishment.
• Reduce repeated adjustment of a damaged assembly.
• Return serviced feeders to production more efficiently.

For production facilities using multiple X16N feeders, keeping critical mechanical parts in spare inventory can also shorten feeder repair turnaround.

Specifications

Main Product Advantages

1. Dedicated X16N Application

The 03086217-01 rocker assembly is identified for X16N feeder applications, helping maintenance engineers and purchasing teams select the required component more accurately.

2. Complete Assembly Format

The complete rocker configuration is convenient for feeder servicing when the original mechanism has significant wear or damage and requires assembly-level replacement.

3. Supports Repeated Mechanical Operation

The rocker assembly is used within the feeder's mechanical operating system and supports repeatable movement during feeder cycles.

4. Suitable for Feeder Refurbishment

It can be used when servicing used feeders, helping repair teams restore worn feeder assemblies instead of replacing the complete feeder.

5. Useful Maintenance Spare

Factories with multiple SIPLACE feeders can keep 03086217-01 in spare-parts inventory to support scheduled and emergency maintenance requirements.

6. Clear Part Number Identification

Using the exact part number significantly reduces confusion when sourcing mechanically similar feeder components.

Application

The ASM Siemens 03086217-01 X16N Complete Rocker Assembly is suitable for professional SMT production and feeder servicing applications.

Typical industries include:

• Consumer electronics manufacturing.
• Automotive electronics assembly.
• Communication equipment production.
• Industrial control PCB manufacturing.
• Power electronics production.
• LED and lighting electronics.
• Medical electronics manufacturing.
• Contract electronics manufacturing services.

How It Works

The rocker assembly operates as part of the feeder's internal mechanical system.

During feeder operation, the feeder must repeatedly coordinate mechanical movement to advance component tape and prepare the next component for pickup.

A simplified operating sequence is:

1. Feeder Receives an Indexing Command

The feeder receives the required operating instruction during the placement cycle.

2. Internal Mechanism Operates

Mechanical feeder components begin their coordinated movement.

3. Rocker Assembly Moves

The rocker assembly transfers or supports controlled movement within its related mechanical section.

4. Tape Feeding Cycle Continues

The feeder mechanism advances the carrier tape according to its programmed feeding sequence.

5. Component Reaches Pickup Position

The next component pocket is presented at the required pickup area.

6. Cycle Repeats

The mechanism returns and prepares for the next indexing operation.

Because these movements occur repeatedly during production, the operating condition of mechanical assemblies can influence overall feeder stability.

Common Signs That Inspection May Be Required

Maintenance personnel should consider checking the rocker mechanism if the feeder shows symptoms such as:

• Unusual mechanical movement.
• Increased movement clearance.
• Intermittent feeder operation.
• Abnormal mechanical noise.
• Visible wear on the rocker mechanism.
• Restricted or rough movement.
• Physical deformation after impact.
• Repeated adjustment without stable improvement.
• Feeder performance changing after long-term use.

These symptoms may also originate from other internal components. The rocker assembly, gears, springs, tape-guidance components, and related moving parts should therefore be checked together.

How To Choose the Correct Rocker Assembly

Selecting feeder spare parts by appearance alone can result in purchasing mistakes. Different SIPLACE feeder versions may use mechanically similar components.

Step 1 – Confirm the Part Number

The required replacement should correspond to:

03086217-01

Always prioritize the exact part number when available.

Step 2 – Confirm the Feeder Type

Verify that the feeder is the corresponding:

X16N

The feeder label is usually the most useful source for identifying the configuration.

Step 3 – Compare the Existing Part

Check the removed component for:

• Overall configuration.
• Installation points.
• Moving joints.
• Mechanical interfaces.
• Assembly position.
• Part identification.

Step 4 – Check Feeder Information

Before placing an order, prepare the feeder model, feeder label, and original component information.

Step 5 – Send Photos When Necessary

If the part number cannot be clearly identified, send photos showing:

• Complete feeder.
• Feeder identification label.
• Existing rocker assembly.
• Installation position.
• Any visible part markings.

This information helps reduce compatibility errors before shipment.

Selection Checklist

Maintenance Recommendations

Proper maintenance can help extend the operating life of feeder mechanisms.

Recommended practices include:

• Keep the feeder interior clean.
• Remove tape fragments and production contamination regularly.
• Inspect moving assemblies during scheduled maintenance.
• Avoid forcing mechanisms that do not move normally.
• Do not modify mechanical parts without proper technical evaluation.
• Inspect feeders after dropping or accidental impact.
• Replace visibly worn or damaged components promptly.
• Verify smooth mechanism movement after assembly.
• Test the feeder before returning it to the production line.
• Store spare rocker assemblies in clean protective packaging.

A preventive maintenance program can reduce unexpected feeder failures and help production teams maintain spare feeder availability.

Why Keep 03086217-01 as a Spare Part?

In SMT factories, feeders are frequently transferred between production lines and repeatedly loaded, unloaded, and serviced. Mechanical feeder parts can therefore become maintenance items over time.

Keeping commonly required assemblies available provides several advantages:

For companies operating a large quantity of ASM Siemens feeders, spare mechanical components can form an important part of feeder maintenance planning.
