| Where can I find a good tool to splice 8mm and 12mm paper and plastic part carrier tapes together? Siemens has a pretty good splice tool, which crimps a small brass strip into the tape. The cover tape has to be sticked together with a small strip o

Yeah, if the convenient non sticky tab for unpeeling is not important to you, narrow tape is another option. "Grid Tape" used for drawing lines on whiteboards is not too sticky and only 4mm wide. Most of the time the lazy option of pulling it really

Hello Cal, I have left Tempo and started my own business. We manufacture a carrier tape like that of Surftape. Mag-D Electronics Adhesive Back Carrier Tape has a punched Blue Nitto Tape Gap and not two rails. Our Punched Nitto carrier is more acc

1. Not quite. The width of 16 mm came most likely from the reel width, which can be up to 15 mm wide for the 8 mm tape. The reel for the 12 mm tape is up to 18 mm wide and would occupy already two slots. If you design a machine from scratch, I would

Yes we've had problems with kemet caps on 12mm t/r. By the time it gets replaced, our production schedule gets so screwed up. Our immediate solution was to bypass and place them by hand before reflow. We eventually went with a cross from Venkel and i

Thanks for the feedback guys. We have Fuji IP3's, so we can save all the reels and bottom tape too. Stick feeders are a nightmare. Lost production due to the long set up times of vibratory feeders is ridiculous. Also, pick up rate is inconsistant fro

Hello, I'm a student assistant in a research project that deals with the simulation of PCB assembly systems. At the moment I collect information about SMDs. My problem is how to assign the correct feeder width to various devices in a simulation. Is

Hello, We had just bought new 44mm one for wide ZIF connectors etc. The problem is that JUKI don't even thin about picking something from it. 44mm option is available in component packaging style window. Tray feeder is choose for "44mm emboss 12mm (

If you think the problem is occurring in the box and it is wide spread, consider replacing your solder paste with your paste supplier. There are paste formulations aimed at the solder balling issue that some LF pastes create. On tuning your reflow r

Hi, Yes, that's an idea, but from my experience with MYDATA, it would fail test, and the machine would either know it's lost the component, or it would not know, and the component would not be on the pad because the machine would think it's mounted
