The SRF1001 Radial Tape Feeder automates the feeding, forming, and cutting of radial taped components such as electrolytic capacitors, Y-capacitors, square capacitors, terminals, and springs. It integrates with SMT pick-and-place machines to enable automatic DIP insertion. Features adjustable cut length and optional 90° bending for flexible component orientation.
Key Features
- Feeds radial taped components: electrolytic caps, Y-caps, terminals, springs (2×2×3mm–15×15×30mm)
- Stepper motor driven dual-feed wheels with 1s cycle time
- ±0.2mm feeding precision with index-plate positioning
- Adjustable cut length (3–6mm) using imported cutting material
- Optional 90° bending function for component orientation
- Optional forming dies for lead pitch customization
- Fiber-optic empty-material detection (3 consecutive misses = alarm)
- Cutter life: 5 million cycles (consumable replacement)

Applications
Designed for PCB assembly lines that need to place radial components (capacitors, inductors, terminals) on SMT pick-and-place machines without a dedicated radial insertion station. Particularly effective for high-mix THT/SMT mixed-assembly production where floor space and changeover flexibility are critical.
Compatible placement machines
Documented installations on the Yamaha YSM20 deck, JUKI odd-form machines and Samsung placement machines (square-capacitor version). Custom interfaces for Panasonic, FUJI, ASM and Universal are designed on request. A 27.5 mm large-span version is available.
Quality testing
Every unit runs 1,000 consecutive feed cycles and a 48-hour aging test with your components before shipment, and the test video is shared with you.

FAQ
12.7 mm or 15 mm tape pitch?
The SRF1001 is built for either 12.7 mm or 15 mm radial tape pitch. The two are not interchangeable on one feeder, so tell us the pitch of your taped components when ordering.
Can it bend the leads 90°?
Yes, optional 90° bending and forming dies are available, with an adjustable cut length of 3–6 mm.
What components does it handle?
Electrolytic, Y- and square capacitors, terminals, springs and pre-bent resistors from 2×2×3 mm to 15×15×30 mm with lead diameter 0.3–1.0 mm.
