When a reel runs out of components, an Leader Tape Extenders allows connecting a new reel of components to the existing leader tape, ensuring that the pick-and-place machine can continue operating without interruption. This helps maintain production efficiency and minimizes downtime in assembly lines. The extender usually features a mechanism to securely attach the new tape to the existing one while maintaining the correct alignment and tension for smooth feeding.
Price range: $76.50 through $92.50
