YAMAHA KHJ-MC100-00 SS8mm Electric Feeder for YSM10 YSM20 YSM20R YS12 YS24

YAMAHA KHJ-MC100-00 SS8mm Electric Feeder for YSM10 YSM20 YSM20R YS12 YS24

The KHJ-MC100-00 SS 8mm electric tape feeder supplies components to the pickup position of a compatible SMT placement machine. It advances 8mm carrier tape through a guided mechanism, presenting successive component pockets for automatic pickup during PCB assembly.

For manufacturers operating YAMAHA equipment, this feeder is relevant to replacement purchases, spare inventory, and preparation of additional component reels. Referenced applications include YSM10, YSM20, YSM20R, YS12, and YS24, with final compatibility determined by the installed feeder interface and complete assembly suffix.

The feeder combines electric tape advancement with mechanical guidance and locking components. Correct tape loading, suitable pitch settings, secure guide retention, and proper mounting all contribute to consistent component presentation.

When requesting a quotation, provide the existing feeder label and machine model. Adding component tape details and inspection requirements helps define a suitable supply scope, especially when sourcing multiple units or replacing feeders with different service histories.

Cause: What Interrupts Reliable Component Feeding?

Incorrect Tape Engagement

Carrier tape must engage the sprocket correctly. Misaligned indexing holes, damaged tape, or resistance along the feed path can prevent component pockets from reaching the expected position.

Wear or Improper Lever Handling

The front lever secures the tape-guide assembly. Turning it without first lifting and releasing the connecting surfaces can deform the mechanism. Frequent reel changes make correct handling particularly important.

Pickup-Position Deviation

A feeder may advance tape while still presenting components outside the intended pickup position. Mechanical condition, mounting, calibration, and component setup should therefore be assessed together.

These symptoms guide inspection; they do not establish a fault diagnosis on their own.

Solution: Match the Assembly and Verify Its Operation

Selecting the correct SS 8mm feeder starts with the complete identification label. The KHJ-MC100-00 reference should be checked against any additional suffix characters before a replacement is approved.

After matching the assembly, verify it with representative tape and the intended machine setup. Useful checks include mounting, front-lever movement, guide locking, tape advancement, and component presentation.

For maintenance purchases, describe the existing problem. A feeder replacement may address a damaged mechanism, but the surrounding nozzle, vacuum system, feeder bank, and production settings also require attention when symptoms persist.

Specifications

Product Identification

SS 8mm Family Reference Data

These are family reference values. Confirm the exact supplied version before using them for acceptance or installation planning. Tape width and feeder body width describe different dimensions.

Order Details

Condition, included accessories, inspection evidence, warranty terms, and delivery schedule should be stated in the quotation. Calibration equipment is supplied separately unless expressly included.

Application

Routine PCB Assembly

The feeder supports automatic component supply where the packaging and machine configuration meet its requirements. Potential applications include control electronics, communication boards, lighting assemblies, and consumer electronics.

Production Changeovers

Additional matched feeders allow component reels to be prepared for upcoming jobs. This can simplify changeover preparation when supported by clear material identification and setup verification.

Maintenance and Repair

A suitable spare gives maintenance teams a replacement option while another feeder is inspected. Record each unit's identification and inspection status so operators can select the intended assembly.

How It Works

Tape Loading

The carrier tape is positioned with its indexing holes engaged on the sprocket. The tape guide is secured, and the cover tape is routed according to the applicable operating instructions.

Electric Advancement

The feeder advances the tape according to the configured pitch and machine control. The selected pitch must correspond to the component-pocket spacing required by the setup.

Component Presentation

The feeding mechanism brings the next component to the pickup location. Successful pickup also depends on nozzle selection, vacuum, component orientation, and machine settings.

Repeat Operation

The sequence continues throughout production. Correct tape guidance and secure mechanical engagement help maintain repeatable presentation as the reel is consumed.

Position Verification

Where required, suitable feeder inspection equipment can be used to diagnose and adjust pickup position. Visual inspection and tape movement alone do not demonstrate that calibration is correct.

How To Choose

Check the Complete Label

Provide a clear photograph showing the full part number and suffix. Similar descriptions can refer to different assembly versions or configurations.

Confirm Machine Configuration

Identify the exact machine and its feeder arrangement. Matching a general machine name is useful, but the installed interface must support the selected feeder.

Review Tape Requirements

Check tape width, material, thickness, pocket geometry, and pitch. An 8mm tape designation does not establish suitability for every component carried on that width.

Define Required Condition

Specify new, used, or refurbished condition, subject to availability. For previously operated units, agree on the inspection evidence needed before purchase.

Set Acceptance Requirements

Choose checks that reflect the application, such as label verification, detailed photographs, a feed demonstration, or pickup-position inspection results.

Handling and Maintenance

Insert and remove the feeder with the clamping mechanism fully released. Align it carefully and avoid striking the feeder bank's front plate.

During reel changes, lift the front lever before rotating it. After loading, engage the guide correctly and check that it remains secure.

Inspect earlier if tape movement becomes irregular, the guide lifts, or the mechanism has suffered an impact. Maintenance should follow the instructions applicable to the exact feeder revision.

FAQ

1. Is this a complete feeder or an individual spare part?

KHJ-MC100-00 refers to an SS 8mm feeder assembly. Confirm the quotation's supply scope, including condition and accessories, to ensure that the offered item matches your requirement for a complete unit.

2. Can it be installed on all listed machines?

The listed models are application references. Confirm the actual machine interface, configuration, and complete feeder suffix before ordering. A photograph of the existing feeder is useful for matching.

3. Will replacing the feeder eliminate pickup errors?

Replacement can resolve faults originating in the feeder. Pickup errors can also result from nozzles, vacuum, packaging, or machine settings. Diagnose these areas if the problem continues.

4. Is a calibration station included?

A feeder tune-up station is separate service equipment. It is included only when specifically listed. State whether you require calibration evidence, a feed demonstration, or additional service tools.

5. What information helps produce an accurate quotation?

Send the complete part number, machine model, quantity, preferred condition, and destination. Include tape specifications and required inspection evidence when the purchase involves a new application or a recurring feeding issue.
