I'd don't believe that the reels need to be ESD protective material. The carrier and cover tape have resistivity and materials specifications. Start with EIA-481. In past threads on SMTnet, we have discussed problems in picking components that wer

The few timeds this happened to me, it was taken care of by cleaning the feeder thoroughly. Be sure to check moving part for damage.

Sometimes when a customer has sent parts on reel without any leader, we will take out the first 5-8 parts and then tie off the cover tape with some leftover tape from the last run. We keep those parts we removed and then place them back in the feede

Some manufacturers put very strong glue, the wider the part is so increases the glue strength. May sound funny but the only thing that worked was attaching a fishing weight to the tape, need to play a little until you find the correct size. The only

We all seem to have forgotten about cover tape peel force testers. GPD makes them as do others I suppose. I would ask the tape and reel house if they have a tester. If they don't I would consider using someone else. Otherwise as another poster s

Have others seen a higher rate of machine downtime due to the cover tape on parts not pulling back properly. We have the same problem on the Jukis and Quads. About every 3 minutes the machine stops and the operator has to pull the tape back. And in
