Puzzle Splicer Mini
"World's first" electronic component carrier tape that can be connected in a puzzle-like manner without metal fittings using a splicing jig.
In the small and medium lot substrate assembly market, setting the strip carrier in a tape feeder presents numerous challenges and is extremely difficult. ■ To secure the length of the leader part, we are forced to discard valuable electronic components! ■ Even if the empty carrier tape is connected using conventional methods, it lacks strength. The connection part can break during the tape set operation. (The splicing tape for mass production works only because it connects to the end of the tape that has already been set in the feeder.) Due to these difficulties, only skilled workers can perform the tasks. The labor hours required are excessive. We have given up on using assembly machines and resorted to manual placement for prototypes. (Prototype costs increase! The production method differs from mass production, making evaluation impossible.) As a solution to these challenges, our company has commercialized a jig called Puzzle Splicer that can cut and join carrier tape in a puzzle-like manner. It connects paper tape and embossed tape securely in a short time. Additionally, it can handle not only the processing of prototype strip carriers but also "joining leftover parts that have become odd numbers," "splitting one reel of parts into two for production on two lines," "connecting two reels to reduce part exchange time loss," and "connecting carrier raw materials."
