A component feeder (10) for dispensing components (30) during consecutive work cycles comprises a lift (40) for elevating a selection of components (30) from a bulk storage during each work cycle. A controller (80) controls a travel (90) of the lift (40), the controller (80) being configured to adjust the travel (90) from one work cycle to another. Since the lift (40) does not always need to travel all the way down to receive components (30), by adjusting the travel (90) from one work cycle to another after need the work cycle of the component feeder (10) is shortened at the same time as an excessive wear of the components (30) is decreased. |
