The STF1002 SOP Tube Feeder supplies SOP-packaged components—MOS transistors, heatsinks, and similar devices—from stacked PVC tubes to SMT pick-and-place machines and non-standard automation equipment. Motor-driven belt feeding ensures smooth component delivery without damage.
Key Features
- Feeds SOP, MOS transistors, heatsinks (3×3×3mm–25×25×25mm)
- Multi-tube stacking with belt-driven feed
- DC motor drive with 0.8s cycle time
- ±0.5mm precision via fiber-optic + software compensation
- Supports PVC tubes (200–650mm, wall >0.6mm)
- Stepless speed adjustment
- Optional dual-channel configuration
- Spring life: 4 million flex cycles

Applications
Suited for PCB assembly lines that handle SOP-packaged ICs, MOS transistors, and small heatsinks alongside SMT components. The compact design and belt-drive mechanism protect delicate components during feeding.
Compatible placement machines
Built for JUKI, Panasonic, FUJI, ASM and Universal placement machines; a dual-lane stacked version is available for high-mix lines.
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.
