Sierra Electronics can provide leader tape samples to any one that want to test. We can provide enough for testing at NO cost. We also have a Tape Splicer loan program that allows you to test ALL our Tape Splicing Products and lets you make the dec

Hey Rob, I've seen operators splicing large tapes not just by sticking them together with a piece of splicing-tape, but additionally they overlap the tapes and (forcefully) insert the last pocket of the leaving reel into the first (empty) pocket of

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

Base, You are absolutely correct. This is what I intend to do. In fact, our feeders at one time had reel hangers that would allow for reel removal and thus splicing. Sometimes it is frustrating when people are set in their ways and won't consider

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?

Hi Greg, Remember, splicing isn't just for when components run out - it's also for when you have to pull a part reel from stock, swap it across machines with different feeders, or when the tape snaps. Cheers, Rob.

They work okay, better than no leader tape. Of course to attach you may throw a couple of parts away as well. What you really need to do is discontinue buying strips.

The leader tape from Sierra works good for us. But if you have to work only with small strips and you can't affort to lose any parts think of moving them into waffle packs. It depends though if your machine has a tray for that. Regards, Cristina

Companies like Nortec offer polymide dots in tape and reel. A simple search for kapton dots or polymide, polyester dots can bring the results you are looking for.

KRC, Let me guess. You're in the materials organanization at your company and you're judged by such metrics as "inventory accuracy" and "# of turns", and you're thinking that those sacrifial chip components are what causes your inventory accuracy to
