JUKI RF24AS_C 24mm Electric Tape Feeder with Electric Motor Drive and Multiple Feed Pitches for SMT Assembly

JUKI RF24AS_C 24mm Electric Tape Feeder for RS-1/RX/RS-2/KE-3000 40195324

The JUKI RF24AS_C 40195324 Electric Tape Feeder is designed to feed electronic components packaged in nominal 24 mm carrier tape to compatible JUKI SMT placement machines. Its electric motor-driven indexing mechanism advances each component pocket according to the selected pitch and presents the component at the programmed nozzle pickup position.

The RF24AS_C supports feed pitches of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 mm, providing flexible handling for a wide range of medium-sized and larger SMD packages. Its compact RF-series structure supports efficient feeder-bank utilization, organized production preparation, fast component changeovers, and stable component presentation.

This feeder can be used for production expansion, replacement of a worn feeder, dedicated component setup, preventive maintenance inventory, or emergency backup. Compatibility should always be confirmed using the machine model, feeder-bank configuration, existing feeder label, carrier-tape width, and component pitch before placing an order.

The feeder is one of the most important component-supply devices in an SMT production line. The placement machine depends on the feeder to present each component at the correct position, orientation, and time.

Even when the machine program, placement head, nozzle, camera, and PCB conveyor are working normally, an unstable feeder can cause repeated production stops.

Components supplied in 24 mm carrier tape are often larger, heavier, or packaged in deeper embossed pockets than small chip components. For this reason, correct tape guidance, stable reel tension, accurate pitch selection, and smooth cover-tape peeling are especially important.

A feeder should be checked when operators experience any of the following conditions:

• The carrier tape does not advance consistently.
• The tape advances by the wrong distance.
• The component pocket is not centered at the pickup point.
• The same feeder repeatedly generates pickup errors.
• The cover tape breaks during production.
• Components move or jump inside the carrier-tape pockets.
• Tape sprocket holes become damaged.
• Abnormal mechanical noise occurs during indexing.
• The machine cannot recognize the feeder.
• The feeder becomes loose in the feeder bank.
• Tape jamming occurs near the guide or pickup area.
• Repeated manual pickup-position adjustment is required.
• Production returns to normal after changing the feeder.
• Feeder alarms occur during automatic operation.
• Components are damaged during presentation or pickup.

These problems may be caused by the feeder, component packaging, tape quality, machine configuration, nozzle condition, incorrect pitch settings, or poor maintenance. A complete inspection should be carried out before replacing the entire feeder.

The RF24AS_C Electric Tape Feeder provides controlled component supply for nominal 24 mm tape-and-reels packaging. Its motor-driven mechanism advances the carrier tape by the pitch selected in the machine program.

The feeder presents each component pocket to the pickup position so that the nozzle can collect the component before placement onto the printed circuit board.

The RF24AS_C may be purchased for several production and maintenance purposes.

The correct feeding pitch must be determined from the carrier-tape specification, reel label, component packaging drawing, or physical pocket spacing.

Tape width and feed pitch are different parameters. A 24 mm tape may use several different pocket pitches.

A feeder should never be selected only by component size or external appearance. The complete carrier-tape width and feeder label must be checked.

The JUKI RF24AS_C feeder is used in automated electronics manufacturing where components are supplied in 24 mm tape-and-reels packaging.

Actual component suitability depends on tape width, pocket pitch, component dimensions, component height, pocket depth, component weight, cover-tape design, reel diameter, and placement-machine capability.

The RF24AS_C is especially suitable for:

• High-mix, low-volume PCB assembly
• Medium- and high-volume electronics production
• Frequent component and program changeovers
• Automotive electronics manufacturing
• Industrial-control PCB production
• Communication-equipment assembly
• Power-electronics manufacturing
• Medical-device PCB production
• Offline feeder setup systems
• Preventive maintenance programs
• Emergency feeder-replacement inventory
• International SMT spare-parts projects

The RF24AS_C converts machine control instructions into precise mechanical tape movement.

Before installation, confirm that the feeder label and purchasing documents show:

• Model: RF24AS_C
• Part number: 40195324
• Tape width: 24 mm
• Required feed pitch
• Compatible machine and feeder-bank configuration

Do not force the feeder into an incompatible bank. The feeder should seat firmly and lock securely without excessive movement.

After loading the tape, perform a manual or low-speed indexing test. Confirm that each pocket stops at the correct pickup position before starting automatic production.

Regular maintenance helps protect feeder accuracy and extend service life.

Do not apply excessive lubricant around the tape path or pickup area. Unapproved lubricant may collect dust, contaminate components, or increase tape resistance.

The required model should be clearly identified as RF24AS_C. Similar RF-series feeders may use different tape widths, pitches, and bank positions.

The required part number is 40195324, which may also be written as 401-95324.

A clear photograph of the existing feeder label is strongly recommended before purchase.

The RF24AS_C is designed for nominal 24 mm carrier tape.

Measure the complete tape width. Do not select the feeder according to the component body width.

Available feed-pitch settings include:

• 4 mm
• 8 mm
• 12 mm
• 16 mm
• 20 mm
• 24 mm

The selected setting must match the spacing between adjacent component pockets.

Provide the complete JUKI placement-machine model and feeder-bank configuration.

RF-series compatibility may depend on:

• Machine model
• Machine production year
• Feeder-bank type
• Hardware revision
• Software configuration
• Feeder trolley specification
• Electrical interface
• Optional upgrade status

Available supply conditions may include:

The exact condition, appearance, inspection scope, warranty, and included accessories should be confirmed in writing before ordering.

The RF24AS_C is designed for nominal 24 mm carrier tape. Buyers should also verify pocket pitch, component dimensions, pocket depth, cover-tape type, reel diameter, and feed direction because tape width alone does not confirm complete suitability.

The RF24AS supports 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24 mm feed pitches. The correct pitch should be selected according to the component packaging specification or the distance between adjacent carrier-tape pockets.

The RF series is intended for compatible RS-1, RX-series, RS-2, and KE-3000-series platforms. Exact compatibility depends on the feeder bank, machine revision, hardware, software configuration, and installed options.

The specified product identification is RF24AS_C with part number 40195324, also written as 401-95324. Customers should compare this information with the existing feeder label and machine configuration before approving the order.

Please provide the feeder model, part number, machine model, tape width, feed pitch, required quantity, preferred condition, destination, delivery requirement, and clear photographs of the existing feeder label and component reel.
