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.
Leader Tape Extenders Standard – Uninterrupted Efficiency for Your SMT Lines
Leader Tape Extenders Standard are the solution when you need to keep your production line running without interruptions. These innovative extenders seamlessly connect with your existing leader tapes, giving you more length and continuity for your Surface Mount Technology (SMT) processes.
