Bert, The original IP feeders do a poor job of peeling the cover tape. Things to check: -All teeth present on the take-up reel -Take-up reel has even drag as it rotates (reel out of round or dirty) -Take-up reel drag is not too high (locations and

Does this only happen with certain feeders or certain components? We have a few regularly used components that experience the same problem ( Philips SMT machinery ) where the cover tape is just too sticky. Experience taught us which components will c

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

It it PSA tape or heat seal? Every machine I have ever used has trouble with PSA cover tape. I wish they would ban in in ROHS. 3M tells me it is the future and it will replace heat seal tape.

The cover tape on 0805, 1206 and IC reels occasionally does not pull back clear of the tape and our Fuji IP-1 stops. Although some feeders appear to be more vulnerable to this than others, is this a feeder problem or is this a material problem with

I am running a Sasmsung CP40-LV machine (which itself works fine). However, the thing holding up production is that I am often experiencing tape cover not being pulled back by the feeders. What part of the feeder is most likely to cause this? I have

PSA - Pressure Sensitive Adhesive? I don't know which type of tape the affected reels of parts use but it is not sticky. Thanks everyone for the comments and suggestions. There were no missing teeth on the plastic take-up reels. I have cleaned an

Hi Bert, It can be either - sometimes they put too much glue on the cover tape when it's sealed, and sometimes the feeder is not stong enough. We would get a lot of these on our fuji's after a shutdown, and they would diminish throughout the first

A quick and dirty test; Take a few inches of carrier tape, peel off the cover, gently turn it upside down and see if any of the parts stay in the tape. If they do, then you know there's an issue with the tape.

Apparently the adhesive tape peels off from the joint, which could have some reasons. 1. There should be an overlap of the cover tape, as Cal mentioned. The new cover tape laying over the old by approx. 2mm. I also peel the cover tape a bit off, whi
