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.

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.

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

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 (

Is there someone who can tell me where I can buy rolls of leader tape for SMT component tapes. Is there a good way of bonding leader tapes, maybe a special instrument to do the job. Thanks for any help.

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

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.

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?

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
