YAMAHA KHJ-MC56U-00 SS32mm Electric Feeder Waste Tape Cover Latch

YAMAHA KHJ-MC56U-00 SS32mm Electric Feeder Waste Tape Cover Latch

The YAMAHA KHJ-MC56U-00 SS32mm Electric Feeder Waste Tape Tail Cover is a mechanical replacement component designed for 32mm SS series electric tape feeders.

According to SS32mm feeder parts listings, KHJ-MC56U-00 is identified as TAIL COVER ASSY., confirming its role as the rear tail cover assembly of the feeder. The same SS32mm parts structure includes components such as KHJ-MC501-00 feeder body, KHJ-MC502-00 feeder cover, KHJ-MC510-00 feed motor, KHJ-MC532-00 sprocket, KHJ-MC561-00 top tape box, and KHJ-MC562-00 top tape box cover.

Installed at the feeder tail section, this part provides physical protection around the rear carrier-tape handling area. It is suitable for replacing cracked, worn, deformed, loose, or missing feeder tail covers during routine feeder maintenance.

Cause – Why the Tail Cover Needs Replacement

SS electric feeders are frequently installed, removed, transported, cleaned, inspected, and stored during daily SMT production.

Because the tail cover is positioned at the rear of the feeder, it can be exposed to repeated mechanical contact during these operations.

Typical causes of damage include:

A damaged tail cover does not necessarily mean the complete feeder needs replacement.

When the feed motor, sprocket, gear train, sensors, and electrical system are still functioning correctly, replacing the individual KHJ-MC56U-00 tail cover assembly can be a more economical maintenance solution.

Solution – Replace the KHJ-MC56U-00 Tail Cover Assembly

Correct SS32mm Configuration

KHJ-MC56U-00 belongs to the SS32mm feeder parts configuration. Multiple feeder parts sources independently identify this part number as the 32mm feeder tail cover assembly.

Protects the Rear Feeder Area

The tail cover provides physical protection for the rear section of the feeder against accidental handling and external contact.

Supports Waste Tape Management

During production, used carrier tape exits toward the rear of the feeder. The properly installed tail assembly helps maintain an organized mechanical environment around this area.

Easy Maintenance Replacement

The cover can be replaced as an individual feeder spare part instead of changing a complete feeder when only the rear mechanical component is damaged.

Suitable for Spare Parts Inventory

Factories operating multiple SS feeders can keep KHJ-MC56U-00 in maintenance stock for faster feeder repair and reduced downtime.

Specifications

The KHJ-MC56U-00 appears directly in SS32mm feeder parts lists as TAIL COVER ASSY., alongside the KHJ-MC561-00 top tape box and KHJ-MC562-00 top tape box cover.

Application

The KHJ-MC56U-00 is mainly used for maintenance of SS32mm electric tape feeders in automated SMT production environments.

Typical users include:

The part is particularly relevant when processing electronic components supplied in 32mm carrier tape.

Because feeder tail parts for different tape widths may look similar, buyers should verify the feeder width and part number before purchasing.

How It Works

In an SMT tape feeder, electronic components are delivered to the placement machine through carrier tape.

The operating sequence can be summarized as:

Carrier Tape Loading → Feed Pitch Movement → Component Positioning → Component Pickup → Used Tape Exit

The feeder drive system advances the carrier tape according to the required pitch. Once the placement head removes the component, the remaining carrier tape continues through the feeder.

The KHJ-MC56U-00 tail cover assembly is installed around the feeder rear section.

Its main role is mechanical.

It helps to:

• Protect the rear feeder mechanism.
• Maintain the correct feeder tail structure.
• Organize the used carrier tape exit area.
• Reduce accidental contact with internal feeder components.
• Support safe handling during feeder changeovers.
• Improve the overall condition of repaired feeders.

It should be noted that the KHJ-MC56U-00 does not electronically control feeder indexing, motor speed, pitch selection, component pickup, or machine communication.

If a feeder has pitch errors, motor alarms, inaccurate tape movement, or communication problems, additional parts such as the feed motor, sprocket, gears, sensors, PCB, or cable connections should also be inspected.

How To Choose

Correct identification is important because SS feeder tail covers for different tape widths can appear similar.

Before ordering, confirm:

SS Feeder Tail Cover Size Reference

Parts listings identify KHJ-MC56U-00 specifically within the SS32mm feeder parts list, while KHJ-MC66U-00 and KHJ-MC76U-00 are separate tail-cover assemblies for wider feeder configurations.

Therefore, do not select KHJ-MC66U-00 or KHJ-MC76U-00 simply because the parts appear similar.

Key Advantages

Accurate 32mm Feeder Matching

KHJ-MC56U-00 is specifically listed for the SS32mm feeder configuration, helping reduce ordering errors.

Individual Replacement

A damaged tail cover can be replaced independently without unnecessary replacement of the complete electric feeder.

Mechanical Protection

The component provides coverage around the feeder rear section and helps protect surrounding mechanisms.

Supports Tape Exit Management

The rear structure helps maintain a controlled area for outgoing carrier tape during component feeding.

Suitable for Preventive Maintenance

Useful for scheduled feeder servicing, repair programs, and spare-part inventory.

Easy Part Number Identification

The clear KHJ-MC56U-00 reference makes purchasing and warehouse management straightforward.

FAQ

Q1: What is YAMAHA KHJ-MC56U-00?

KHJ-MC56U-00 is the tail cover assembly used in the SS32mm electric feeder parts configuration. It is installed at the rear section of the feeder and serves as a mechanical protection and tape-management component.

Q2: Is KHJ-MC56U-00 suitable for an SS32mm feeder?

Yes. Multiple feeder parts references list KHJ-MC56U-00 directly under YAMAHA SS 32mm Feeder Parts and identify it as TAIL COVER ASSY.

Q3: Is KHJ-MC56U-00 a latch or a complete tail cover?

The standard parts-list description is TAIL COVER ASSY. “Waste Tape Cover Latch” is a common market description, but for technical accuracy the component is better identified as a tail cover assembly.

Q4: Can KHJ-MC56U-00 replace KHJ-MC66U-00?

No. KHJ-MC56U-00 is associated with the SS32mm feeder, while KHJ-MC66U-00 is a different tail cover assembly used for a wider feeder configuration. Always select by feeder width and part number.

Q5: What information should I provide before ordering?

Please provide the KHJ-MC56U-00 part number, 32mm feeder specification, required quantity, feeder model, delivery country, and clear photos if available. These details help ensure correct product confirmation.
