BPM Microsystems has developed a solution for small parts fed from tubes to the automated programming systems. The Single Lane Tube Feeder/Loader addresses the consistent feeding and reloading of small package parts.

Tooling for the Single Lane Tube Feeder/Loader is currently available for 8 pin SOIC, TSSOP, MSOP and 6 pin TSOC devices. The feeder/loader uses specific interchangeable tooling for each package size.

Multiple base units of this ultra-compact automated programming system peripheral can be mounted on one machine for expanded handling potential. The Single Lane Tube Feeder/Loader can fit six feeder/loader bases in a 5-inch area (12.7 cm). Each APS input is capable of holding two bases for a total of 12 feeder/loader combinations.

BPM Microsystems supports the Single Lane Tube Feeder/Loader on its 3000 series and 4000 series automated programming systems.
