YAMAHA KHJ-MC66U-00 SS44mm Electric Feeder Waste Tape Cover

YAMAHA KHJ-MC66U-00 SS44mm Electric Feeder Waste Tape Cover

The YAMAHA KHJ-MC66U-00 SS44mm Electric Feeder Waste Tape Tail Cover is a mechanical feeder spare part designed for the 44mm SS electric feeder configuration. The part is identified in feeder parts references as TAIL COVER ASSY 1, and KHJ-MC66U-00 corresponds specifically to the 44mm feeder size.

Installed at the rear section of the feeder, the tail cover provides a protected area for outgoing carrier tape after components have passed through the feeding position. It helps maintain an organized tape exit path while reducing accidental contact with feeder mechanisms during production, feeder loading, removal, transportation, and routine maintenance.

This replacement part is suitable for SMT factories, feeder repair workshops, electronics manufacturers, maintenance departments, and equipment service companies that need to restore damaged or missing SS44mm feeder tail assemblies.

Cause – Why the SS44mm Tail Cover Requires Replacement

Feeder tail covers are exposed to frequent handling during feeder replacement, cleaning, storage, transportation, and production-line maintenance.

Although this component does not electronically control component feeding, damage around the feeder tail can affect waste carrier tape management and expose surrounding mechanical parts.

Common replacement reasons include:

Production environments with frequent feeder changeovers can gradually increase mechanical wear. A damaged tail cover should therefore be inspected and replaced before it creates additional problems around the carrier tape exit area.

Solution – Replace the Damaged KHJ-MC66U-00 Tail Cover

Correct 44mm Feeder Configuration

KHJ-MC66U-00 is intended for the SS44mm feeder configuration and should not be confused with visually similar tail covers used on 24mm, 32mm, 56mm, or 72mm feeders.

Improved Waste Tape Management

The cover helps maintain an organized area around the outgoing carrier tape after the component feeding process.

Better Mechanical Protection

It protects the feeder tail area from accidental contact during operation, transportation, maintenance, and feeder changeovers.

Convenient Individual Replacement

Maintenance departments can replace the damaged cover instead of replacing the complete electric feeder when the remaining feeder mechanism is functioning normally.

Suitable for Preventive Maintenance

Keeping replacement tail covers in stock allows feeder repair teams to quickly restore damaged feeders and reduce unnecessary production interruptions.

Specifications

Feeder parts references distinguish KHJ-MC66U-00 as the 44mm tail cover assembly, while neighboring part numbers correspond to other SS feeder widths.

Application

The KHJ-MC66U-00 is mainly used for SS44mm electric feeder maintenance and repair in automated SMT production environments.

Typical applications include:

The component is especially useful in factories processing larger tape-packaged electronic components requiring a 44mm tape feeder.

When compatibility is uncertain, buyers should confirm the feeder width, feeder model, existing part number, and component appearance before ordering.

How It Works

During normal SMT production, electronic components are supplied to the placement machine through carrier tape.

The feeding sequence can be simplified as:

Carrier Tape Loading → Tape Indexing → Component Positioning → Component Pickup → Used Carrier Tape Exit

After the electronic component reaches the pickup position and is removed by the placement head, the remaining tape continues toward the feeder rear section.

The KHJ-MC66U-00 tail cover assembly is positioned around this rear area. Its role is primarily mechanical rather than electronic.

It helps:

• Maintain a defined rear feeder structure.
• Protect surrounding feeder components.
• Keep outgoing carrier tape organized.
• Reduce accidental contact with feeder mechanisms.
• Support cleaner feeder handling during production.
• Maintain the correct mechanical configuration of the SS44mm feeder.

The tail cover does not directly control feeder pitch, motor speed, tape indexing, feeder communication, or component pickup accuracy.

If the feeder shows motor alarms, incorrect pitch, communication faults, or positioning errors, additional components such as the feeder motor, gear system, sprocket, sensors, tape guide, or electronic control section should also be inspected.

How To Choose

Correct feeder spare-part selection is important because many SS feeder tail covers have similar external designs but different dimensions.

Before ordering KHJ-MC66U-00, verify the following:

SS Feeder Tail Cover Reference

These width relationships are listed in current SS feeder parts references.

For a 44mm SS electric feeder, KHJ-MC66U-00 should be selected rather than KHJ-MC56U-00 or KHJ-MC76U-00.

If the part number on the existing component is unreadable, providing clear photos of the feeder and damaged tail cover can help with model confirmation.

Advantages for SMT Maintenance

Correct SS44mm Size

Designed specifically for the 44mm SS electric feeder configuration, helping reduce incorrect spare-part selection.

Fast Maintenance Replacement

Suitable for replacing cracked, damaged, deformed, loose, or missing feeder tail covers during routine maintenance.

Protects the Feeder Tail Area

Provides mechanical coverage around the feeder rear section and outgoing carrier tape area.

Supports Waste Tape Handling

Helps maintain a controlled tape exit area during continuous component feeding.

Reduces Complete Feeder Replacement

When only the tail cover is damaged, the component can be replaced individually instead of replacing an otherwise functional complete feeder.

Suitable for Spare Parts Inventory

A practical spare component for factories operating multiple SS electric feeders and maintaining internal feeder repair capabilities.

FAQ

Q1: What is KHJ-MC66U-00 used for?

KHJ-MC66U-00 is a tail cover assembly for the SS44mm electric feeder. It is installed at the rear of the feeder to provide mechanical protection and support organized outgoing carrier tape management during SMT production.

Q2: Is KHJ-MC66U-00 suitable for a 44mm feeder?

Yes. KHJ-MC66U-00 corresponds to the SS44mm electric feeder tail cover assembly. Before ordering, verify the feeder width and existing part number because similar tail covers are available for several other feeder sizes.

Q3: Can KHJ-MC66U-00 replace KHJ-MC76U-00?

No. KHJ-MC66U-00 is intended for the 44mm SS feeder, while KHJ-MC76U-00 corresponds to the 56mm configuration. Their dimensions and feeder applications differ, so the correct part should be selected according to feeder width.

Q4: When should this feeder tail cover be replaced?

Replacement is recommended when the cover is cracked, deformed, broken, loose, missing, or interfering with carrier tape movement. Replacing a damaged cover early can help maintain proper feeder protection and reduce additional mechanical problems.

Q5: What should I provide when requesting a quotation?

Please provide the part number KHJ-MC66U-00, feeder width 44mm, required quantity, feeder model, delivery country, and preferably photos of the existing component. These details help confirm compatibility before shipment.
