A FEEDER CONTROL FOR THE SMT MOUNTER USING LON CHIP

SMD mounter is necessary in PCB assembling line. To feed SMD components to the mounter, high performance feeders are needed. Until now, mechanical air feeders have been mainly used. However, in these days, electrical feeders with network are developed. There are many kinds of feeders with various control techniques. In this paper, a feeder with BLDC motor and LON chip is designed and implemented. And, the experimental results are presented.
