We are currently trying to resolve an annoying problem of the tapes breaking in our PnP machine. Most of these breaks obviously occur in places where we have spliced the tape. Has anyone come across this problem and successfully solved it? What types of splicing techniques and materials were used? Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
