FEEDER

摘要

A non-splicing feeder including: multiple sprockets in a conveyance direction that accurately supply components stored in carrier tape to a supply position; a main body; a first sprocket on which first engaging protrusions are formed which is rotatably provided at supply position of main body; a second sprocket on which second engaging protrusions are formed which is rotatably provided on main body at a position on the downstream side in the conveyance direction of carrier tape with respect to first sprocket; wherein a tooth thickness dimension of second engaging protrusion is set to be smaller than a tooth thickness dimension of first engaging protrusion.

主权项

1: A feeder for sequentially supplying components to a supply position by indexing carrier tape in which many of the components are successively stored in a conveyance direction and in which engaging holes which have a prescribed relationship with the components are formed at a regular interval in the conveyance direction, the feeder comprising:
a main body; a first sprocket that is rotatably provided at the supply position of the main body, and on which is formed a first engaging protrusion; and a second sprocket that is rotatably provided on the main body at an upstream side in the carrier tape conveyance direction with respect to the first sprocket, and on which is formed a second engaging protrusion; wherein a cross-sectional area of the second engaging protrusion is set to be smaller than a cross-sectional area of the first engaging protrusion.
