16mm CL Feeder 12mm Pitch? | 27 January, 2022

Hi,

I have a component that comes on 16mm tape and I am using it in a CL series feeder. The pitch of the tape is 12mm, but there are only settings for 4 and 8mm on the feeder. Is there a such thing as a 16mm CL feeder that can do 12mm pitch? If there is I have not found one. I would get my machine to do 3x4mm advances as a workaround, but that does not appear to be an option with this machine

Get a copy of the binary for the machine and hack it to support the option. Or if it is still in warranty ask the manufacturer for an update.

Take the 2 screws out of the pitch plate and flip it over.
