Have a doctor to patient talk to your customer Phil : The implications over 1" components on tape from both pick tool and custom build (depth?)feeder view are complex ; the level/travel/drag/exit implications will send yields diving from damages unless you have it all right . The trick on this large (custom) feeder is you have to come level under pick ; than bend down sharply to exit the bulk of base tape , = can be done ; at cost ; check : http://hoverdavis.com I'm a tape freak myself (bulks chip components too often); but on this large I'd construct a shoot channel sitting on vibro plate and feed tubes into throated slide . In past simple grounded(esd) curved(slightly) alu extrusion did the trick . If the pins are too fine you have to stick with trays (as you know); you may push it with teflon film lining(still metering the esd) .

Has anyone ever heard of such a large component being put on tape/reel? Who could handle this? Resp. Phil Hersey _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
