Equipment Services Debuts SMT Feeder Calibration, Repair, Refurbishment Services
December 16, 2008 |Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
BENICIA, Calif. Equipment Services LLC (ESL) began offering complete SMT feeder calibration, repair, and refurbishment services. The company cites losses in production time, machine operation, and replacement feeder expenses caused by malfunctioning or improperly calibrated feeders. The service also is designed to improve lean manufacturing operations.
The ESL services include testing and evaluation of feeders; repair or replacement of missing, damaged, or otherwise malfunctioning parts; cleaning and lubrication; and dynamic calibration. A barcode labeling system enables the company to provide customers with traceability of a feeder's service history.
To calibrate feeders, ESL uses FeederMaster calibration jigs, for which the company is the exclusive North American dealer. Unlike OEM calibration jigs that allow only static calibration, FeederMaster jigs' drive mechanism, tape reels, and reusable master tapes enable ESL technicians to perform dynamic feeder calibration and full functional testing, at machine speeds up to 30,000 CPH.
