Samsung SMN Feeder

Samsung SMN Feeder is a legacy pneumatic tape feeder series for Samsung/Hanwha SMT pick-and-place machines, known for simplicity, low cost, and wide compatibility across older and mid-range lines.

Core Overview
Type: Pneumatic tape feeder (cylinder-driven) for SMD tape packaging; relies on compressed air for indexing and feeding, with mechanical locking for stable positioning.
Key Traits:
Simplicity: Fewer moving parts than electric feeders, easy to maintain and troubleshoot.
Cost-Effective: Lower upfront cost vs. electric feeders, ideal for budget-sensitive lines.
Fixed Pitch: Each model is pre-set to a specific pitch (e.g., 8mm/2mm, 8mm/4mm) — requires feeder replacement for different pitches.
Basic Sensing: Uses limit switches for tape indexing; lacks smart communication with the machine (no real-time data exchange).
