When sourcing a custom SMT stick feeder, correct samples matter more than many buyers expect.
In one FUJI NXT III project, we customized a stick feeder based on the customer’s tube samples.
Testing and acceptance were successful, and the feeder ran in production for nearly 2 months.
Later, the customer provided a new sample.
The component orientation inside the tube had changed by 90°, even though the tube size remained the same.
This change required a new design, new testing, and additional cost.
Lesson learned:
👉 Please confirm the correct tube sample and component position before placing an order.
Once production is completed, the feeder structure cannot be changed.
Small differences in tube packaging can lead to major impacts on feeding accuracy.
