JUKI Dual Track Tube Feeder — Two Components, One Feeder Slot
The JUKI Dual Track Tube Feeder is a dual-channel stick feeder designed for JUKI pick-and-place machines. It mounts into a single feeder slot and presents two different component types to the placement head through two independent tracks.
Each JUKI dual track tube feeder accepts two separate tubes — one per track — holding different components. Track A may carry a SOIC-8 IC while Track B carries a SOT-23 transistor or a small connector. Both tracks index independently, so the placement head picks from whichever track the program calls next.
This JUKI tube feeder handles components packed in plastic tubes or aluminum tubes: SOIC, SSOP, TSSOP, small QFP, SOT transistors, rectangular connectors, and crystal oscillators. Tube inner dimensions range from 10 mm × 2 mm to 40 mm × 8 mm per track.
By fitting two component types into one slot, the JUKI dual track tube feeder cuts feeder slot consumption by 50%. For lines running high-mix, low-to-medium volume boards, this directly reduces the number of feeder changeovers and the total feeder investment.
Key Features
| # | Feature | Benefit |
| 1 | Dual independent tracks | One feeder slot feeds two different component types — no swap, no downtime |
| 2 | 50% slot space saving | Replaces two single-track tube feeders with one dual-track unit |
| 3 | Native JUKI interface | Mounts directly into JUKI feeder slots — no adapter plates |
| 4 | Plastic and aluminum tube support | Accepts both standard tube materials without tooling changes |
| 5 | Independent track control | Each track indexes separately; placement program selects Track A or B on demand |
| 6 | Custom tube size per track | Track A and Track B can be configured to different tube inner dimensions |

What We Do for Your SMT Production Line?
You only need to provide component samples and machine model numbers. Based on your exact part dimensions, our engineers design custom feeder adapters and CNC-machine each rail from scratch. We strictly avoid off-the-shelf parts or generic sizes to ensure optimal orientation. Before leaving our Shenzhen factory, every unit undergoes a full operational test on a matching machine, and we provide a performance video so you can verify its functionality prior to delivery.
We provide dedicated rail adapters for all major SMT brands, including ASM SIPLACE, YAMAHA, FUJI, Panasonic, JUKI, and Samsung.
Tag and Tube Feeders: 4–7 weeks.
MOQ: 1 unit. We support single-unit testing on your production line before scaling to mass production.
We fabricate custom nozzles from ceramics, tungsten carbide, and rubber, precision-formed to match your specific part geometry while maintaining a feed failure rate below 0.5%. To streamline your procurement, feeders and nozzles are shipped together in a single package.
