A feeder cart (feeder trolley) holds SMT feeders in slots. Load the tape first, push the cart to the placement machine and mount the feeders one by one — faster than carrying feeders by hand, without damaging tape or feeders.
This page covers carts compatible with Hitachi Sigma-series and Tenryu (now i-PULSE) placement machines: Hitachi single-tier 20-slot carts with or without reel baskets, a 2-tier 60-slot cart, an FS8 cart with material basket, and Tenryu F1 / PS 2-tier 80-slot and MS fully welded carts — 6 models. For lines that still run these machines. These are compatible carts, not products of the machine makers.
