SHORT TAPE FEEDER TRAYS FOR PICK AND PLACE SURFACE MOUNT ASSEMBLY |
|
One of the many challenges Contract Electronics Manufacturers (CEMs) face in surface mount assembly is receiving components in short strips of tape instead of full reels.
This usually happens with prototype and small-batch production, where only a limited number of components are needed. Buying a full reel is often prohibitively expensive and leaves many parts unused.
At the same time, feeders are costly and take up valuable machine space, making them impractical for this type of work.
This can lead to parts being manually placed by line operators, causing quality concerns and reduced process efficiency.

INTRODUCING SHORT TAPE FEEDER TRAYS
Please note - 11mm max pocket depth on short tape feeder trays 12mm and above
Our Short Tape Feeder Trays let you load these short strips easily onto your pick-and-place machine, enabling components to be placed automatically instead of by hand.
Loading is quick and simple: just slide the tape into the slots on either side of each lane. The tray holds the tape perfectly flat, secure and straight - preventing any movement and reducing chance of pick errors.
To maximise machine utilisation, multiple trays can be preloaded offline and swapped in seconds, keeping the production line running.
