Hi All.

I have some spare feeder guide plates that have been milled down to about 9mm. This means you can place 6.3mm electronytics, for example, and other taped parts that are quite tall. As standard the slots were milled down about 5.5mm from the underside of the tape, so this gives you nearly double depth. Pictures below.

There are two for [3x12 +3x16] feeders and one for [3x12] feeders. They are suitable for the feeders where the drive pin is about 35mm back from the pick point. If interested, please check this is the same as your feeder.

They are available 'first come first served'. £40 + VAT each with delivery at cost.

To fit it you just need to take one side of the feeder, remove the screws from the other side that hold the plate in place, then transfer the movement and stepper motor from the old plate to the new one. Should take 30 minutes at most, even if you've never taken a feeder apart before.

Message me if interested.
