Royce,

We use this one with good success:

Also, Nix makes one, called the Nikko Splicer, but I have no knowledge of the functionality of this product.  Their website does not show this product.

        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
