StripFeeder Trays are for loading tape-and-reel components on compact modules for high-mix/low-volume applications. Modules are designed for quick loading of tape-and-reel components on existing SMT pick-and-place equipment with fiducial markers for alignment. Are available for tape ranging from 8 to 72mm wide, with pre-designed configurations and customizable widths and pitch based on process requirements. Enable fast changeover between product runs without unloading from the machine. Are compatible with both paper and emboss tape simultaneously; are ideal for low-volume/high-mix applications and prototyping. Are compatible with fragile components or loose packaging.
