Hi Royce.
Have you considered continuing the use of the Siemens splicing tool, but, working
with a tool and die shop to make a die to cut a plastic or paper adhesive
material to replace the brass?

Subject: [TN] SMT tape leader splicing tools


I am in the search of a SMT tape splicing tool that I can use to splice blank leader tape (cover and pocket tape) onto SMT component tape reels that come from my stockroom without any extra tape. With larger dollar components my stockroom will only issue exact quantities which when setting up feeders (Fuji and Siemens) becomes a big issue.

I do have s Siemens splicing tool, which is "ok" but Fuji has advised against using the brass (or whatever metal Siemens uses) on their machines as it will dull the tape cutters quicker.

Is anyone using something they could recommend. Please keep in mind that this tape splicing will be performed in the Stockroom prior to a kit being released from the floor.

Thanks

Royce
