We tried splicing and found numerous problems with jamming. To make a long story short, as a rule we just don't do it. There are exceptions such as; we are short a part and need to use several very short pieces of tape and reel parts.

I repair our Fuji feeders myself. They are easy to work on. Most of the issues are usually related to components jammed and general cleaning. Minimum lubrication is required. Tape leafs are inexpensive to replace too. Happy repairing. Cheers.

Hi, The 8mm versions do change fast, but the 12 and 16mm versions jam all the time, and MYDATA has no fix for it, as apparently no one else is having that problem. Regards, Grant

Over Current means the motor is drawling too much current. Check for a jam on that axis, bad wire, bad motor, bad servo amp (yes the amp can go bad and make it appear that the motor is drawling too much current). Jerry

Hi Greg, A larger floor standing spool would seem a good way to go, but on the larger plastic tapes, trying to accurately join them to feed through without jamming or coming apart is a total pain. Cheers, Rob

I wouldn't say we've escaped either - Fuji blade wear is heavily up at the moment.

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.

problem solved. Some PCB table support pins were jammed down in the table preventing the Z axis from lowering all the way. The intial error mesage was x and y servo, but the real error was the z axis overflow. Rob

Hi, We think the problem was the z orgin on the X,Y, table. After calibration and adjusting the proper things are much better. Thanks to everyone. Rob
