Jig for Splicing Description
Upgrade your SMT workflow with the Cutting Jig (8 mm–72 mm) from Sierra Electronics – a professional-grade tape cutting solution designed to deliver flawless, accurate cuts across a wide range of carrier tape sizes. Engineered for both precision and durability, this jig is perfect for electronic manufacturers, SMT operators, and production engineers who demand highly consistent tape preparation.
Versatile & Wide Tape Compatibility
This cutting jig works seamlessly with SMT carrier tapes from 8 mm up to 72 mm, making it one of the most versatile tape preparation tools on the market. Whether you’re running narrow component reels or wider tape formats, this jig ensures perfect alignment and cutting every time.
Precision Dual-Blade Cutting System
The built-in dual-blade cutter simultaneously trims carrier tape from both the top and bottom, creating clean, perfectly perpendicular 90° cuts. No more jagged edges, angled ends, or feeder issues caused by imprecisely trimmed tape.
Built-in Cover Tape Peeler
The integrated cover tape peel-off function saves time by enabling smooth cover tape removal without the need for extra tools. It simplifies the tape preparation process for smoother reel-to-feeder transitions.
Alignment Pin Blocks for Unmatched Accuracy
Specially designed tape alignment pin blocks give you precise positioning when cutting. This reduces operator error and ensures consistent, repeatable cuts every time—minimizing feeder issues and misfeeds during component placement.
Lightweight Yet Durable Design
Constructed from high-grade, lightweight aluminium, this jig is sturdy enough for high-volume SMT environments while remaining portable and easy to handle. Built for daily use in production lines, assembly shops, and rework centers.
