Preparing feeders for the next production order is easier when each feeder can be stored alongside its assigned component reel and staging information. The ASM SIPLACE Feeder Storage & Kitting Cart brings feeder organization and offline kitting into one mobile workstation, allowing operators to assemble a feeder set before a changeover begins instead of collecting feeders individually at the machine.
Its main advantage is workflow continuity: feeders for different jobs can remain grouped together during preparation, temporary storage and transfer to the SMT line. Depending on the cart configuration, dedicated feeder slots, reel holders and ESD-conscious construction can help keep components organized and reduce unnecessary handling. Slot layout and feeder interface must match the SIPLACE feeder family in use; X-series and SX-series configurations should not be assumed interchangeable without verification.
