You have to make sure the tape is covering the holes, this is where the sensor reads the tape.

If you want to tinker a bit with old machines, you could buy an inexpensive ( under $ 10,000 ) used Pick&Place machine and reverse the polarity on the tape feeding motor. If you don't heat seal the cover tape, but use pressure sensitive cover tape,

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

change of carrier tape from monolayer to trilaminate material...we found out through experimentation that the these carrier tape material when combined with a similar cover tape type would react differently even at similar taping parameters. monolaye

This happens with either old tape, the cover tape doesn't stay sealed on the left side, or is the seal is too far to the right, the knife lifts the cover tape. There isn't much you can do in this case. Your choices are: switch the component into an A

After re-reading your posting, Liza, I�m doing yet another correction to my reply. Are you using the same taping machine for all your components or could you narrow it down to one taping machine? Is it a fully automated taping process or more likely

Robert McKeown Company makes thermally conduct Al tape. KIC did a study on which method (Kapton Tape, Aluminum Tape, Hi-Temp Solder) is the most repeatable. The study can be found in their website: http://www.kicthermal.com Al Tape placed 2nd, and

The standard you need is EIA-481B. It details the taping of components from 8mm tape up to 200mm tape including component orientations. 8, 12, 16 and 24mm tape has the sprocket holes only on one side so it is easy to determine the proper orientatio
