Paper label sticker feeder for Pick and Place Machine
Ⅰ、Detailed Introduction to SMT Label Feeders
SMT (Surface Mount Technology) label feeders are critical tools used in the automation of labeling processes within electronic manufacturing. These feeders are integrated into pick-and-place machines to ensure precise and efficient placement of labels on various components and PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). They significantly enhance the accuracy and speed of the production line, reducing manual labor and the potential for human error.
Ⅱ、Functionality and Advantages
SMT label feeders streamline the labeling process by automating the placement of labels, thereby reducing the need for manual intervention. This automation is particularly valuable in high-volume manufacturing settings, where precision and consistency are critical. Key benefits include:
Automation: SMT label feeders automate the label application process, making it suitable for high-volume production environments. This reduces the reliance on manual labor, thereby decreasing labor costs and increasing throughput.
Precision: These feeders are designed to handle small labels with high precision, often with accuracy deviations as low as ±0.2mm. This is crucial for maintaining consistency and quality in the labeling process.
Cost-Effectiveness: By automating the labeling process, SMT label feeders save costs associated with manual label application, making them a cost-effective solution for manufacturers.
Ⅲ、Functional features of label feeder
● No need to purchase labeling machine separately, you can attach barcode labels by using label feeder pick and place machine;
● Strong compatibility of material types: whether it is paper label or FPC reinforcing steel sheet, various Mylar tape, foam, dustproof net, high temperature tape and other roll materials, label feeder can be used;
● Strong compatibility of material size: a label feeder can realize all sizes of materials within the maximum size, and supports single row or multiple rows, maximizing the use efficiency of the machine;
● Quick integration into existing pick-and-place machines, typically taking only a few minutes.
● Ability to feed and place labels as small as 3x3mm with an accuracy deviation of ±0.2mm.
● These feeders support various materials, including PET plastic film and bag release paper. They are designed to handle a wide range of label sizes and thicknesses.
1.Flip-top design:
The flip-top design of the stripping plate can achieve the fastest material change.The vacuum hole adsorption can stably increase the tension of the material belt, which is convenient for the successful stripping of highly viscous materials. The sliding rib allows one feeder to meet the use of materials of more widths and sizes. The machine screws around the magnetic pressure cover can adjust the height gap to meet the smooth passage of materials of different thicknesses.
2. Fine-hole fiber splicing platform:
The fine-hole fiber splicing platform has a smoother surface than the strip-type splicing platform. The highly anti-sticky silicone pad ensures that both adhesive tape and foam can be easily absorbed, and it is easy to replace and has low maintenance costs; the multi-head ultra-sensitive fiber optic sensor can meet the requirements of single-row to multi-row (up to 12 rows) labels with different gaps and stripping at the same time; the up and down lifting slide design can easily and accurately set the height of the splicing platform to adapt to the successful stripping of materials of different thicknesses.
3. Super wear-resistant rubber-coated roller:
The super wear-resistant rubber-coated wheel with gear feeding method not only solves the problem of feeding error caused by bottom paper slippage, but also solves the problem of easy wear of rubber-coated wheels; the bevel locking design and increased contact area between bottom paper and gear make it easy to open and ensure safe and effective locking.

The Pick and Place Label Feeder can complete label application tasks at high speed, applying hundreds of labels per minute, which significantly improves the efficiency of the production line. This is especially important in environments that require high-volume production.
2. Accurate application
The label feeder is equipped with sensors and high-precision heads of the pick and place machine to ensure that the labels are accurately positioned during the application process. High-precision application reduces label misalignment and re-application, ensuring that each label can be accurately applied to the designated location.
3. High degree of automation
The label feeder achieves fully automated operation, reducing the need for manual intervention, thereby reducing the possibility of human error. The automated system can operate continuously and efficiently, improving production stability and consistency.
4. Versatile and flexible
The label feeder can handle labels of various sizes and materials to meet different types of production needs. Through simple settings and adjustments, the label type and application position can be quickly changed to meet diverse production requirements.
5. Cost-effectiveness
By reducing labor costs and reducing scrap rates caused by human errors, label feeders help to significantly reduce production costs. In addition, the efficient operation and stable performance of the equipment also reduce production downtime, further reducing operating costs.
6. Improve product quality
Precise mounting position and consistent mounting effect improve the appearance and quality of the product. High-quality label mounting not only enhances the brand image of the product, but also enhances the competitiveness of the product in the market.
7. Easy operation and maintenance
Modern label feeders are humanized in design, with a friendly operating interface, easy to learn and use. The equipment maintenance is simple and convenient, and the components are durable, which reduces equipment failures and downtime, ensuring the continuous operation of the production line.
8. Data management and tracking
High-end label feeders are usually equipped with data management functions, which can record and track the mounting of each label in real time. This provides reliable data support for production line management and quality control, helping enterprises to better monitor production and manage quality.
9. Strong compatibility
Label feeders are highly compatible with SMT pick-and-place machines and can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. Its modular design makes equipment upgrades and expansions more convenient to adapt to future production needs.
