EZ-SMD Dispensers allow you to increase productivity, eliminate frustration, and maintain a well-organized storage system.
Technical specifications and build quality set our SMD reel dispenser systems apart from generic storage solutions. These features ensure reliable performance in demanding professional environments. The EZ-SMD Dispensers are designed to simplify and streamline the storage and handling of SMD components. These dispensers, designed with compactness, durability, and convenience of use in mind, are an excellent solution for properly managing cut tape. Here are the essential features that set them apart:
Compact Design
Each dispenser measures 2.76″ square and 5/8″ broad, saving critical space. The storage rack can hold up to 25 dispensers, making it suitable for confined settings. This dimensional efficiency allows maximum component variety within minimal workspace footprint. The standardized sizing ensures consistent appearance and stacking reliability across your entire storage system.
High Capacity
Each dispenser can carry up to 1,000 components and has a side window to see inventory levels at a glance. This capacity handles most standard project requirements without frequent refilling interruptions. The transparent viewing panel provides accurate inventory assessment for reorder planning. Capacity indicators help maintain optimal stock levels and prevent project delays due to component shortages.
Durable Materials
The dispensers are made of static-dissipative ESD plastic to protect sensitive components. This specialized material prevents electrostatic discharge damage during handling and storage. The construction withstands repeated use and cleaning procedures required in professional environments. Chemical resistance ensures compatibility with standard cleaning solvents and sanitizing procedures.
Customizable Labels
Printable label templates provide easy identification of contents. Labels can display important information such as component type, value, polarity, and barcodes, simplifying inventory management. The adhesive system maintains readability through temperature variations and handling. Database integration capabilities support automated inventory tracking and reorder systems.
Quick Filling & Refilling
Load dispensers with components from reels or poly-bags in under a minute, reducing downtime. The filling process requires no special tools or complex procedures, enabling quick changeovers between projects. Component transfer maintains proper orientation and prevents damage during loading. This efficiency reduces labor costs and improves overall productivity.
Versatile Mounting Options
Multiple mounting configurations support wall installation, benchtop placement, or mobile cart systems. The modular design adapts to various workspace layouts and operational requirements. Mounting hardware provides secure attachment while allowing easy reconfiguration when needed. This flexibility supports changing project needs and workspace reorganization.
Proper loading procedures ensure optimal dispenser performance and component protection throughout the filling process. Filling an EZ-SMD Dispenser is a simple process which maximizes efficiency. This is how you do it:
1. Gather Your Tools
You will need the EZ-SMD dispenser, dispenser filler tool, electric screwdriver, flat-bladed screwdriver, and tape cutter. Having all tools ready helps prevent interruptions during the loading process. Organize tools in a logical sequence to maintain efficient workflow. Clean tools ensure contamination-free component handling and dispenser operation.
2. Remove the Cover
Place a flat-bladed screwdriver in the disassembly slot. Twist carefully to release the cover. Apply gentle pressure to avoid damaging the cover or dispenser body. The cover should separate cleanly without the need for force or excessive pressure. Store the removed cover in a safe location to prevent loss or damage.
3. Set Up the Filler Tool
Attach the filler tool to the dispenser, aligning the center hole with the central stud. Proper alignment ensures smooth tape feeding and prevents jamming during operation. The connection should feel secure without requiring excessive force. Verify alignment before proceeding to prevent component damage or tool malfunction.
4. Load the Tape
Insert the cut tape into one of the filler tool's small slots, then feed it through the dispenser's tape feed slot. Hold it in position with your thumb and lightly twist the filler tool to fix the tape. Maintain steady pressure to prevent tape slippage during initial positioning. The tape should feed smoothly without binding or catching on internal components.
5. Wind the Tape
With the electric screwdriver, turn the filling tool counterclockwise, winding the tape neatly into the dispenser. Maintain consistent speed to ensure even winding and prevent tape bunching. Monitor the winding process to verify proper tape alignment and component orientation. Stop immediately if resistance increases or unusual sounds occur.
6. Finalize
With the electric screwdriver, turn the filling tool counterclockwise, winding the tape neatly into the dispenser. Maintain consistent speed to ensure even winding and prevent tape bunching. Monitor the winding process to verify proper tape alignment and component orientation. Stop immediately if resistance increases or unusual sounds occur.
7. Label the Dispenser
Use the designated front and side label areas to easily identify your dispenser.
