[1] Addition options including IT function and splicing detection function are available for each feeder type. [2] For the 8mm large reel, it is possible to have the feeder occupy only one slot if its outermost width is less than 13mm. [3] The actual part feed pitch of feeders larger than 12mm may be limited by the length in the part supply direction and reel pocket depth. For further details regarding this, contact our CS company (STS) and local agent after checking the corresponding dimension information.
