Bliss Industries announces feeder carts & staging stations

SMT cart-based manufacturing company Bliss Industries, has introduced feeder carts designed to store component feeders and reels. By adding an adjustable shelf, feeder setup rack and a wrist strap ground plug, the feeder carts can be used as a modular feeder workstation. Feeder staging carts are used at the pick-and-place machine or as a job cart to transport the feeders and reels from a staging area. The feeders are securely held in place. Completely surrounded by the cart frame, all feeders are protected from accidental collisions. Additionally, all major manufacturer’s feeder types are supported.A past SMT Magazine VISION Award winner, Bliss Feeder Staging Stations are designed to permit rapid changeover of feeders on pick-and-place machines. Exchanging feeders position-for-position, the machine can be up and running in less than 10 minutes. Previous setups can be taken down offline after new jobs are running. This reduces downtime by as much as one hour per change over.Bliss Vertical Feeder Carts are designed to store and stage component feeders with a latching mechanism and component reel in a new vertical position. Feeders are securely held in place. All major feeder types with a latching mechanism are supported. This style cart is ideal when very narrow aisles run between production lines.Source: PCBnewsline
