I have recently purchased a Tape and reel machine from V-Tech. We are using Presure Sensitive tape and we are not geting good results. Anything bigger that a SOIC14/16 gives us trouble. The cover tape will pull off on the feeder and we will lose part

According to inquiries of splicing tape, it is been done at many places. I do agree that the feeder fouls badly, if the splice brakes. How much longer does it take to fix the problem with a broken splice? How quickly can you change a feeder/tape with

Hi, I have an older Samsung pick and place (CP-40LV model). During last few runs I have experienced several feeders with the clear plastic tape cover not peeling back to expose the next part. I manually pull back the tape and it runs for a while and

Try using the splice tape without the plastic extension. Use old tape to make the splice. This is much cheaper as well. For the plastic tapes, you have to bend the front a bit during setup and also after running a few boards, stop the machine and

Good morning, FYI, it's better to set "relative" instead of "teaching" for tape feeders. In this case optimizer will have an opportunity to change feeder position during program optimization. "Teaching" will fix feeder position and optimizer will ne

The few timeds this happened to me, it was taken care of by cleaning the feeder thoroughly. Be sure to check moving part for damage.

Some manufacturers put very strong glue, the wider the part is so increases the glue strength. May sound funny but the only thing that worked was attaching a fishing weight to the tape, need to play a little until you find the correct size. The only
