Maximize Uptime with the Sierra Electronics Splicing Cart LOC1278

In SMT assembly uptime is everything. Every feeder stoppage or reel change eats into throughput and chips away at productivity. The Sierra Electronics Splicing Cart LOC1278 was engineered to solve this problem by giving operators a dedicated mobile workstation to splice reels quickly and keep production moving without interruption.

What is the LOC1278 Splicing Cart?

The LOC1278 is a purpose built ESD safe workstation designed for SMT production lines. It organizes all splice tools, tapes, leader extenders, and consumables in one mobile platform, ensuring operators can perform splices immediately at the feeder bank.

Function: Designed for Increased Productivity

The cart is all about uptime. By keeping splicing supplies ready and accessible, operators can join reels on the fly without shutting down machines. This streamlined process:

• Eliminates wasted time searching for tools or parts
• Keeps feeder banks loaded and ready
• Reduces downtime and feeder jams
• Boosts line throughput with consistent repeatable splices

How It Works

• Roll the cart directly to the splice location
• Stage reels on the built in holders for quick alignment
• Use the splicing tool and splice tape to join reels with precise pocket alignment
• Reload the spliced reel into the feeder and continue production seamlessly
• Restock from the cart’s integrated storage for the next operation

The result is faster changeovers uninterrupted uptime and higher overall productivity.

Materials Built for Demanding Environments

• Frame and Structural Supports: Powder coated aluminum for strength and durability
• Shelves and Trays: Aluminum with ESD safe mats and bumpers to protect sensitive components
• Wheels (Casters): Steel housings with anti static polyurethane wheels for safe stable mobility
• Reel Holders: Coated aluminum for long lasting reel support

This combination ensures compliance with ESD sensitive requirements while delivering rugged reliability in high volume environments.

Why It Matters

The Sierra Electronics Splicing Cart LOC1278 is more than just a workstation. It is a tool for driving throughput and protecting uptime. By eliminating inefficient reel changes and organizing splicing operations manufacturers can achieve faster changeovers higher productivity and smoother lines.
