StripFeeder Transition Rail features machined tracks for paper and emboss tape on the same rail. Rail sold individually or in StripFeeder .mod and Mini kits. StripFeeder Transition kits are set up to run three lanes of paper tape and three lanes of emboss tape in 0.25", 0.50", and 0.75" pocket depths. Additional rails can be added, up to 10 per tray for 8mm tape. StripFeeder .mod and Mini systems feature removable rails. StripFeeder Mini can be adjusted by removing rails and repositioning them on base plate at the desired width (4mm pitched pattern). Rails align with precision pin locaters and lock down with magnets. Feature a mechanical lock-spring to hold tape in place by the sprocket hole. Design holds components securely in machined tracks to prevent parts from being miss-picked, flipped in the pocket or lost. Can remove rails to accommodate larger components up to 120mm tape width. Compatible with most types of SMT equipment.
