Bowl Feeders
- Bowl feeding is a cost effective means of delivering a device to the machine, higher deployment cost but no packaging costs
- Bowl feeders are designed to separate, sort, and align components for Polaris to pick up
- Some bowl feeders are designed to pre-assemble devices for Polaris to improve the efficiency of a manufacturing line
Edge Stack Feeders
- Used primarily for connectors packaged in tubes, stacked side by side
- Edge stack feeders conserve space on the machine
- The feeder is mounted external to the machine and only consumes 1-3 feeder slots (Width dependant)
Radial Tape Feeder
- The radial tape feeder is capable of handling both 12.7mm and 15mm bandoleer tapes
- Leads can be cut to length in this feeder, eliminating the need for a cutter inside the placement cell
- The radial lead feeder consumes two standard feeder slots
Axial Tape Feeder
- Accepts standard axial tape format
- Scrap removal interface to Polaris
- Lead bend and forming are available options
Label Feeders
- For placing product identification labels, bar code labels, product set-up labels
- Print on demand and place labels or place pre-printed labels
