Chip tray feeder system

The automated TrayStak feeder system reduces handling and increases throughput by delivering 2-in. chip trays to production assembly machines without interrupting operation. While the operator loads and unloads full chip trays and empties, the placement machine simultaneously picks die from the chip tray at the pick point. Handling chip trays in stacks, rather than traditional trays, saves space. Shorter xy moves and continuous feed and load maximize processing speed. Weighing only 12 lbs, TrayStak eliminates cumbersome feeder trays and can be loaded with up to 50 stacked chip trays containing almost any die size.
