hanwha Feeder Calibration Jig

A Hanwha feeder calibration jig (or test fixture) is an essential maintenance tool used to measure, verify, and adjust the mechanical accuracy of Hanwha SMT feeders offline, away from the production machine. This ensures that the feeder precisely presents components to the pick-and-place machine's nozzle, improving placement accuracy and overall production quality.
Function and Purpose
The primary goal of the calibration jig is to resolve common feeder issues and maintain optimal operating performance.
Repositioning: Helps to re-center the pick-up point of the feeder after mechanical deviation or wear.
Improving Accuracy: Resolves issues like inappropriate deposit rates or high defect rates caused by misaligned feeders.
Offline Maintenance: Allows maintenance to be performed without stopping the main production line, increasing machine uptime.
Quality Control: Serves as a standard reference platform to ensure consistent quality across all feeders in a production facility.
Key Features
Modern Hanwha calibration jigs are equipped with features to make the calibration process precise and user-friendly:
Vision System: Typically includes a CCD camera setup and an LED display (often 12 inches with 50x magnification) to monitor the X, Y, and H axes accurately.
Precise Control: Features high-quality gears and control belts for accurate and repeatable stepping and positioning functionality.
User Interface: Designed to be simple and easy to use, often with a user-friendly interface to guide the operator through the calibration steps.
Power Supply: Usually operates on a standard power supply .
Compatibility and Models
Hanwha offers different calibration jigs tailored to specific feeder types:
SME Feeders: A specific tool exists for the electric/smart feeders, which has advanced features to match the precision of these modern feeders. Part numbers might include AM03-020529A or SME-FCJ.
SM/SMN (Pneumatic) Feeders: A separate jig is used for the traditional pneumatic feeders.
CP Feeders: A dedicated calibration tool is required for the older CP series feeders.
