Hover-Davis, the world leader in the design and manufacture of component delivery systems for the circuit board assembly industry, introduces the new LPFN Label Feeder for Fuji.

LPFN is a simple-to-use, automatic labeler within the proven Hover-Davis LP series of label presenters that place labels with existing pick & place equipment just like any other component. With its compact configuration requiring no extra floor space and fitting on the placement machine like any other feeder, the LPFN labeler offers the most flexible and cost-efficient solution for wide ranging labeling tasks in today's automated assembly environments.

Like other Hover-Davis base feeders the new LPFN Preprinted Label Feeder for Fuji offers reliable electronic operation. Due to its modular construction, it easily mounts to a placement machines like any other typical feeder. A special benefit of the versatile Hover-Davis Label Feeder is that it automatically places labels using existing placement equipment. For once, this is faster and more accurate than hand placement, saving both time and money in the production process, and allowing direct automatic reading for further downstream processing. Additionally, the LPFN is very low in maintenance cost.

The Hover-Davis LPFN was specially designed for a variety of adhesive backed label products of various sizes, ensuring accurate and repeatable label presentation for product identification, traceability, process flow control and other purposes. Its label specific module (LMG) uses a unique peel and present concept, and it is also easy to change to present new label sizes without requiring tools. Label application dimensions are: 4mm to 40mm liner width, 4mm to 50mm label length, and 4mm to 40mm label width. Feeder width is 61.7mm, equivalent to a 56mm tape feeder. Feed rate is up to 53mm/sec.

The new Hover-Davis LPFN Preprinted Label Feeder is fully compatible with a number of Fuji placement machines, including the NXT, XPF and AIM placement equipment.

Hover-Davis feeder systems can be fully integrated with most major SMT pick and place machines including Fuji, Panasonic, Universal Instruments, Siemens, Juki, Assembleon, Samsung, Yamaha and others.
