Not familiar with your machines, but on out Assembleon Opals we take the used cover tape from another feeder and tape it to the cover tape of our cut tape we are loading with some thin double stick tape. The 3m VHB type. Then we wrap that with a piec

As a high mix, low volume CEM who deal with a lot of free-issued kits, we are heavily reliant on foil (tape cover) extenders. We don't usually bother with splicing as our machine feeders (Simenes Siplace and Samsung SM321) are designed in such a way

We have fought with cut-tape way too much. It's always a bad idea. We've tried a couple methods/devices for manual splice with limited success. Before you look into this I would ask them if they could supply you cut tape qty's inslusive of fairly

We used to use the Tapesplicer tool available from http://www.tapesplice.com (Sierra Electronics), in a high mix, low volume environment with MyData's (older feeders). Short review: It worked. Longer review: First, technique is everything. Splicin

1. can you load cut tape onto the feeders, or only reels? You can, but you have to use cover tape extender (pretty cheap, though) >2. how about parts on trays (like Atmel AVRs in the QFP package)? You need tray feeder. But you can "make" your own

We had occasional problems and usually solve it by pulling out pogo pins slightly to extend them a bit... Also note that electric feeders have "reel empty" sensor that gives the same error message (if you are using cut tape strips without reel)

The best device I've used is a temp-probe. It clamps to the board rail, extends out a few inches and forces the ball to stay right where you want it. Sounds like you need a quicker fix, though. It's also kind of pricey and not the best if you need
