SMD reel tray for flat storage of reels up to 180 mm diameter, first in first out - A1-ESD EP0711009

Opened component reels pile up at the setup station of an SMD line, and without a fixed order the operator picks the reel that was put down last. This tray holds reels up to 180 mm in diameter lying flat and releases them on a first in, first out basis, so stock is consumed in the order it arrived rather than by whatever is easiest to reach.

Benefits

• Takes reels up to 180 mm in diameter, which lie flat on top of each other without tilting inside the shaft.
• First in, first out retrieval. The reel loaded first leaves the tray first, which keeps storage times short for moisture sensitive components.
• Inner size 182 x 169 x 190 mm, the shaft guides the stack of reels at the sides and needs no additional retainer.
• Outer size 186 x 173 x 210 mm, so several trays stand side by side on shelves, setup trolleys and workbenches.
• Available from one piece with no minimum batch, letting you equip one workstation at a time.

Technical data

Application

The tray sits at the setup station of the placement machines, where opened reels wait between two changeovers, and in the component store as a defined place for remaining quantities. Inside the ESD protected area it replaces the loose pile on the bench with a fixed sequence, so stocktaking and delivery lot tracing both show which reel goes to the line next. The range is also available in versions for larger reel diameters.
