We run Siemens SiPlace SMT equipment. One of our biggest problems is feeder tape splices jamming our feeders. We use Siemens recommended method of splicing our feeder tapes together. This has been causing upwards of 10% lost time on some of our build

Does anyone know of a handy dandy reference guide showing what the standard feeder tape size is for most common SMD packages? Just trying to figure out what the capacity REALLY is of all these pick and place machines I'm looking at, that state capaci

Check the pick position of the component from the feeder, the feeder advancement speed, the type of feeder tape, static interference, and the cavity tolerance or slope of the carrier tape.

We are a manufacturer of placement machines and I believe that you asked if there was a reference that can be used to determine the tape sizes for most SMD packages. We review the catalogs from Practical Components and Top Line to determine tape size

You might want to check out the empty feeder tape supplier websites. If you have a part they want to make sure it's easy to find the right tape size so you can buy it from them.

Hello, We are experiencing a little problem of cutting feeder tape. When ever we place two or more 24 mm feeders together, the cutter on the machine will partialy cut the adjoining tape, or pull it out of sequence. The machine is a Panasonic MSR,

We have seen this problem, again using the methods recommended by Siemens. We tried different methods of splicing the tapes, but again the material was clogging in the feeders and especially in the cogs which grip and feed the tape. The only method

Maybe the problem is not the cutter, but the arm that advance the tape in the adjacent feeder gets actuated at the same time as the active feeder. line-up a feeder in pickup position visually, then turn the crank until the roller or feeder advance me

Check the spring tension on the reel holder. When the reels start running out of parts the spring can provide enough tension to keep the reel from spinning. I have seen this on some of the dual-lane feeders. Tape the spring back to verify. If this is
