The Hover-Davis 12/16mm SSF Feeder combines two tape-width options in one feeder configuration, accommodating 12 mm and 16 mm component tapes on compatible Siemens SIPLACE S placement machines. With a maximum pocket depth of 14 mm, it provides a useful option for production lines handling components with different packaging dimensions. Matching the tape width and pocket geometry to the actual component package is essential when selecting a replacement feeder.
A key feature of the Hover-Davis SSF feeder series is its motorized tape indexing with forward and reverse movement. Reverse feeding allows the tape position to be adjusted during reel loading, helping limit unnecessary component advancement during setup. Stepper-motor control supports consistent indexing, while the serviceable feeder construction offers practical maintenance advantages for SMT production environments.
