A method for managing feeders of a surface mount machine includes the steps of: initializing all IC cards of the feeders; scanning the feeders; inputting initial operational information of each feeder to a corresponding IC card and a first document; inputting current operational information of each feeder to its IC card and the first document periodically; determining whether the surface mount machine needs to continue operating; inputting end information to the corresponding IC card and the first document if the surface mount machine does not need to continue operating. A related system is also disclosed.

In one preferred embodiment, a management system is used for facilitating choosing components arranged on a variety of feeders of a surface mounting equipment. The management system comprises a plurality of storage integrated circuit (IC) cards. Each of the storage IC cards is mounted to a corresponding feeder. Each of the storage IC cards stores information about the corresponding feeder and the components arranged on the corresponding feeder. A controlling device is electrically connected to the storage IC cards for reading the information of the storage IC cards to identify the electronic components mounted on one of the feeders in response to a demand signal provided by the surface mounting equipment. The controlling device is capable of sending a feedback signal to the surface mounting equipment according to the read information and controls a pick-up arm of the surface mounting equipment to pick up components of a selected feeder.

A transmission mechanism includes a feeder, a belt furling module, a tension maintaining module, and a carrier belt. The tension maintaining module and the belt furling module are positioned on the feeder, and the carrier belt runs along the feeder, the tension maintaining module, and the belt furling module in that order. The tension maintaining module includes a base, a pivot shaft slidably positioned on the base, and an elastic member sleeved on the pivot shaft. When the carrier belt relaxes, the elastic member releases its compression force to drive the pivot shaft to move away relative to the base, thereby maintaining the tension force of the carrier belt. The disclosure also provides a surface mount device using the transmission mechanism, which reduces the likelihood of the carrier belt breaking or jamming, thereby promoting improved precision and yield rate of the surface mounted equipment.

An exemplary surface mount machine nozzle includes a mounting element, a pneumatic suction nozzle and a fixing pin. The mounting element defines one of a pivot hole and an elongated perforation in a sidewall thereof. The pneumatic suction nozzle defines another one of the pivot hole and the elongated perforation therein. The fixing pin horizontally extends through the pivot hole and the perforation for connecting the mounting element and the pneumatic suction nozzle together. The fixing pin is slidable along the elongated perforation such that the pneumatic suction nozzle is telescopically slidable relative to the mounting element.

A feeder capable of transferring and separating an adhesive component on a tap, includes a frame, a separator, and a drive device. The frame has a top portion for supporting the tap. The separator is mounted to the frame to separate the adhesive component from the tap when the tap passes through the separator. The drive device drives the tap to pass through the separator.

An exemplary surface mounting apparatus includes a winder, a waste tape and a feeder for discharging the waste tape towards the winder. The winder includes a pivot, a wheel rotatably mounted around the pivot, and a coil spring disposed between the pivot and the wheel. An outer end of the coil spring is connected to the wheel to rotate with the wheel, and an inner end of the coil spring is static relative to the pivot during rotation of the wheel. The waste tape is connected to the wheel of the winder.

A method for calibrating a feeder for a surface mounting device (SMD) includes the steps of: reading a standard coordinate value; setting controlling parameters including a predefined amount of materials to be delivered and a predefined range of a coordinate deviation; booting the feeder (22) to deliver materials via an operation controller (20); capturing delivered material images of the materials and gear images of the feeder via an image controller (24); calculating coordinate deviations of the captured images; analyzing whether a total delivered amount of the materials is equal to the predefined amount; and calibrating the feeder according to the calculated coordinate deviations if the total delivered amount of the materials is equal to the predefined amount. A system for calibrating a feeder for a surface mounting device (SMD) is also disclosed.
