The SIPLACE Measuring Feeder has the same design and interfaces as typical SIPLACE X feeders, but it does not feed components. Instead, it uses a CRDL measurement unit to check electrical values of components such as capacitors, resistors, inductance and diodes (polarity). Components must be between 0.3 x 0.6 mm and 3.2 x 6.0 mm in size and must have two opposing connections on the bottom side so the feeder can be in contact with them. The feeder can therefore effectively detect setup errors, splice errors and reels which have not been labelled correctly. With the latest version or SIPLACE Pro, operators can adjust the settings for component measurement. On-demand CRDL measurement and/or validation of resistance, capacity, polarity or inductivity of components Automatic triggering of measurement cycles by setup changeovers of splice events Minimum space consumption Data communication via standard feeder interface Programming of all measurement parameters and tolerances in SIPLACE Pro Auto-calibration Certified recalibration available via SIPLACE Service Increase of process reliability
