Maintenance stock is the most common reason plants order this pin: it goes in on a schedule so tape indexing stays even across a whole bank instead of drifting on one position at a time. The second is an unplanned stop, where a feeder starts throwing pick-up errors mid-run and inspection confirms the worn pin as the cause. Refurbishment workshops make up the third group — they strip used units, renew the worn mechanics and return them to service as working feeders. The fourth is the line-side spares box, holding one or two pins so a shift technician is not waiting on a delivery for a component this small. On lines that run equipment from several pick and place machine manufacturers, clear bag labels matter even more, because one shared spares box has to stay usable across every platform.
ZJ-SMT supplies Panasonic SMT and PCB assembly equipment and spare parts to manufacturers worldwide. Our range covers pick-and-place machines, axial and radial insertion equipment, solder paste inspection systems, and feeder spare parts, with both new and used options available. We support bulk orders, and machine condition and availability are confirmed with you before ordering. Whether you are expanding a line, replacing a worn feeder part, or sourcing equipment for a new project, send us your model numbers and our team will come back with a suitable solution and quotation.
No. NPM feeders take a different pin, so the part number matters even within the same machine family. If you are unsure which feeder you are working on, send the label from the feeder or the bag the old pin came in, and we will confirm the right number for it.
They are separate items for different feeder widths: the 24/32 mm position uses a gear screw, and the double-width feeder has its own mechanical parts, while this pin belongs to the single-width position. None of them substitute for the others. Match the number on the component you are removing rather than the label on the feeder housing, because housings are often swapped between lines.
Watch that position for repeated pick-up errors, tape that drifts instead of advancing SMT components cleanly, or a pin that looks flattened or polished where it should be square. Most plants swap pins during scheduled maintenance rather than wait for a fault to stop the line. If several feeders on the bank show the same symptoms, check the pin on each one before the next production run.
No. It is matched to the Panasonic feeder family, and feeders from other SMT pick and place machine manufacturers use their own pin geometry and part numbers. On a mixed line, keep the Panasonic spares in a labelled box of their own and send us the machine model for each item you need, so a wrong-fit change-out is caught before it reaches production.
Keep each pin in its original bag so the part number stays with it, and store spares with the rest of your feeder kit instead of loose in a tool drawer. Small mechanical parts are easy to mix up between feeder widths and machine platforms. A dry shelf away from metal dust and swarf is the safest place.
In most cases no — the pin is the only component removed and refitted, and the feeder goes back into the bank as it was. If the same position keeps faulting after a new pin is fitted, the cause is usually elsewhere in the feeder, and our engineers can help you work through it. Rebuilds are the exception: workshops normally renew a set of worn mechanical parts in one pass rather than one item at a time.
