Product Name: Panasonic SMT Tape Feeder 8mm
Description: Panasonic SMT Double 8mm Feeder with Sensor for Panasonic CM402/CM/602/NPM
A feeder that stops advancing takes one position out of the run while the rest of the bank keeps going, and on a dense board that single position can hold up boards for the whole line.
This model is the replacement that pick and place machine manufacturers, EMS providers and in-house assembly teams reach for when a position fails mid-shift, so production resumes at the next changeover instead of waiting for a planned shutdown.

| Production area | What the feeder does there |
| Consumer electronics | Dense boards where small SMT components fill most positions and narrow tape runs all shift |
| Lighting and driver boards | Compact control sections that mix small passives with larger parts |
| Automotive control boards | Long, stable runs where consistent feed matters more than peak speed |
| High-speed placement lines | Positions where a stalled feeder is measured in lost boards |

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. It works through the same slot and control interface as the unit it replaces, so there is no calibration or adjustment step. Seat it, run a test tape on the automatic pick and place machine, and then release the position to production.
This feeder is listed under two Panasonic references and either one identifies the same unit, so a different label does not automatically mean a different part. If the number on your old unit has worn off, the machine model and the position it came from are usually enough for us to confirm which feeder you need.
No. This body is built for a single narrow width, and 12 mm, 16 mm and wider reels use the feeder made for that width. Check the reel size against the position before you specify it.
Rollers and tape guides take the wear long before the body does, so keep a small stock of both and check them whenever a unit comes off the bank. Replacing a worn guide early keeps feed accuracy steady instead of letting it drift into misplaced pickups.
Keep it in a dry, dust-free cabinet with the tape path clear and nothing resting on the tape guide or pickup window. Before it goes back on the bank, check that the rollers turn freely and that no debris has collected along the path.
Yes. Units from different batches are built to the same mechanical and electrical standards, so a new feeder runs alongside older ones without behaving differently. That consistency is what pick and place machine manufacturers and assembly plants rely on when a mixed bank stays in service, and it is what lets SMT pick and place machine manufacturers add a single unit without disturbing the rest of the bank.
