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

Maybe the issue is how the feeders are being unloaded. The operators should leave enough covertape to reload the reel onto a feeder without component waste. If the issue is some parts are exposed in the feeder then you will most likely loose those p

Hey Greg, As you already pointed out yourself: unless you can do away with covertape pickup-spools (or can figure out a way to empty them without loosing tension on the covertape) your feeders will not be suitable for several consecutive splices. S

Hi Greg, We've used lots of machines over the years & seen lots of different tape related issues - the main one being snap off of the cover tape, usually due to too much glue, over entusiastic heat seal, or a feeder requiring maintainance. Also the

Splicing for us has been a rough go as we haven't really found a tool that works well/fast. We have a few different machines = different feeders. They all react different to a splicing "style". The best so far is a crimp tool that crimps a brass s

you can check several things here: 1.Is this original tape or it is tape and reel service? 2. Is the cover tape that sticky, to lift component a little bit(sometimes might get the hole component). 3. Hole too loose, allow it to move too much 4. Fee

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

I have no idea why this limitation would be programmed in. Like I said before there a lot of wierd quirks whith this software and you may have just found one. Pre-assigning will not help if the software sees a mismatch between the feeder plate and th

Hi, Yes, one of the problems with the MYDATA is the feeders are in groups, but at the same time, they are simple, and don't break. But the new Agillis 12 and 16 mm feeders do jam a bit. It's worse on glued cover tape, while heat bonded cover tape is
