has anyone come across labelling of SMT carrier tapes? we test devices in a automated handler, but get some customers asking if we can apply numbered labels to the tape to identify the device, ie one label per device. This seems a bit crazy as the s

Hover Davis makes a feeder for labels that works with many pick and place machines. Identco is a distributer for them and may be able to help with the material to.

This is helpful information. PROMATION just released a low cost stand alone pick and place for pre-printed labels which would also include Kapton Dots. So if you do not want to tie up your pick and place this could also be an option for placing them.

I just got my hands on a Quad IVc, and am trying to find information on a Z-axis Error # 5 @ startup. I haven't really done anything since recieving the machine, I powered on, the Transport moves back and forth, the pc boots and I press enter to log

You are correct, the Hover Davis label feeder works on 'un-punched' flat carrier. Get a sample of your dots on the tape and send it to Hover Davis to see if their feeder will work for you. The Hover Davis feeder will peel the dot off of the tape so

I feel your pain. Your company may already be using Kapton tape labels for their board serial numbers labels. Kapton is able to withstand repeated wash and heat cycles, and can be printed on a typical Zebra printer. The key to a successful and accura

Is anyone aware of any manufacturers of kapton dots for masking boards that come on tape with feed holes punched on the side? It seems like it would be pretty easy to modify a standard feeder to to do labels if the carier was punched for a standard f

Is the a good, cheap automated way of labeling the trays that PCB's go on? We currently use masking tape with assembly and work order numbers but half the time we can't read the operators handwriting. We have looked into some label printers, but not

Yep, we either use kapton tape or mask now depending on the application. It would be nice to be able to do it on a machine but the Hover-Davis label feeders are very expensive. May not be worth the cost for the volumes we run.
