Usually Static in the tape will cause the component to stick to the cover tape as opposed to staying in the pocket. It sounds like you have another problem. But anyway, here is what we do when we "think" we have an ESA problem. We place the compone

Big problem. Certain LED from certain manufacturer sticks to the tape and reel cover tape. Peel back the cover tape and every LED lifts out of the embossed pocket and sticks to the cover tape. I believe this is from static and not any sort of adhe

I do not have a answer for you, but it sounds like electro-static charge is making air-borne particles stick to the machine. What are the air handling conditions? Could be you need a better filtration system. I use a HEPA filter system. I've always w

Thanks for the info Chris, I'll check into your suggestions. We seem to be having the problem with all/most of the TM8FC magazines. I'm looking for a common denominator. Has any one ever experienced static electricity on the cover tape causing the c

yeah, we use the low static stuff too... except when the purchasing assistant did the company a "favor" and sought out something cheaper. Those times you want a big stick! The color confusion is because of the rose colored glasses that I wear. Joh

Potential causes are: * Static charge [get a deionizing fan] * Adhesive on the inside of the cover tape [fix your supplier]

Agree with Davef. Smaller the chip, more the static charge. I used to see this even with normal chips. Get an ionizer blow. It should solve your problem. May be switch to antistatic tape if affordable.Regards. GV

Could this wire be helping by a second means, becuase it is grounded to the feeder it may be discharging the static at the point it is being produced? If so it could be bent to contact the film and not scratch the LED lenses.

We have seen the same thing on small parts (8mm tape) and what we did is sprayed some ESD mat cleaner on a lint free towel and wiped the cover and carrier tape down. Since the cleaner is static dissipative the issue went away and we were able to get

Three ideas for you: 1) Make sure nozzle tips are clean. 2) Check coplanarity of leads to bottom of body. If leads are above body, it could be the are not contacting paste well. 3) Investigate static charge in the parts caused by the feeder or
