CoT used to make a tray for a tray feeder that you can slide your cut tapes into. Then you use it like a tray feeder and just teach the pocket positions.

I've seen a smart splice demo at an expo, and was fairly impressed. They would work well with our mycronic machines. I like that they have a tape system and you can just splice blank tape and reuse them.

All, What are the current industry options for putting leaders on cut tape? In our NPI practices, we're often sent parts directly from the customer in the form of cut tape in an exact needed quantity. As you can imagine, this is a pain in getting

I just recently heard a new phrase "following the followers" instead of following the leaders. Getting rid of lead in electronics does not make the environment better because the replacements are worse.

Depending on what kinds of machines you run and feeder style, self adhering leaders work well to minimize the need for a long leader. We use them on every reel. We can generally load most feeders with only waste of about 4 parts by use of leaders (

It is a very simple practice to leave a leader when breaking down a setup. This way the next time you're going to use the reel there is about a foot of cover tape to use. Seems to work in our SMT production area. Max.

I agree with greg, after a teardown there should be leader tape left for the next load. Are your operators tearing it off at the end of the carrier tape?

We use a Hoover Davis Tape and Splicer. We buy rolls of blank cover tape and cut leaders as long as we need them. www.hooverdavis.com
