Does anybody have problem with 8 mm paper component reels?. when feeder indexs component, the tape is not separated form the components completely. soemtimes it takes up the paper from the tape.( I believe it is because of tape has sticky material ).

Yes I would have to agree Kemet is the worse. I believe our feeders are just not strong enough to handle the thickness of the tape. It seems to need alot of force to move and to roll the tape through.

Thanks Rob, Our tape does meet the Kemet spec but I am actually wondering if there is an EIA spec or something to compare to.

Does anyone else encounter problems using feeders to handle caps that are reeled up with paper tape. We are having alot of problems with vendors that are now using the thicker type (like cardboard) to use to reel up caps. Our feeders either run too

Hi Guys, Thanks for the response. To answer your questions... The compoments we are placing and experiencing trouble with are generally 1206 components. It isn't just one manufacturer either. The one part though we have most problems with though is

The Tesa company delivers Splice Tape for 8mm, 12mm and 16mm. Also special splice tape for 8mm paper tape and some splice tools as well. Siemens uses for large tape a 'staple' but might be patented and then cannot be used outside Siemens. (Staples
