Steve,

Thanks for the information. Not being too familiar with these things, is
there any problem with pressure sensitive adhesive sticking to parts or am I
looking at a non-issue?  I ask because on occasion we seem to get parts that
randomly stick to the cover tape.

Hi Rick!

We've got a V-Tek machine here...it's a model that I don't think they make
any more...it's called a Compak. It's manual but we don't do any high-volume
tape and reeling. I like it because the set-up is so easy. Uses PSA
(pressure
sensitive adhesive) cover tape, so you don't have to worry about heat shoe
settings or things of that sort...

Go to:

http://www.vtekusa.com/products.htm

There will be their latest models there...they're not that expensive either.
Like I said we don't do any high volume taping, so it fits our needs pretty
good.
