At 40,000 components per hour, the splice is no longer passive.
It becomes a dynamic mechanical event.
At these speeds:
A splice that survives at 10,000 CPH can fail instantly at 40,000 CPH.
Splice tape engineered for high-speed SMT must deliver:
“Strong” tape is not enough.
Predictable mechanical behavior is required.
These issues are splice-induced, not feeder defects.
Why Machine-Detectable Matters
At high speed, operators cannot react fast enough.
Machine-detectable splice tape allows:
High-speed lines demand visibility.
