GSM11 Series SMT Cover Tape Extenders are designed to extend cover tape when little or no leader is available. This avoids wasted components and reduces feeder load time. Quickly adhere the pre-cut strips and elongate reels of all sizes. Ideal for partially cut reels.
Applications and Benefits
Leader Tape Extension to Avoid Component Waste: The GSM11 Series serves as a leader tape for partially used reels. When the original leader tape is cut short or missing, the extender can be quickly applied to extend the cover tape, preventing component waste and ensuring all components on the reel can be utilized efficiently.
Perfect for Partially Cut Reels: Partially cut reels are common in SMT operations and often cause inefficiencies. GSM11 extenders address this issue directly, making them essential for any SMT assembly line to ensure every component is accessible.
Versatile Size Options: Available in multiple sizes to accommodate a wide range of reel dimensions.
Non-Skid Leader Tape Material: Made from non-skid PET material that provides stable, reliable feeding without slippage in automatic component feeders.
Strong Adhesive Bond: Features robust adhesive that forms a secure bond with existing cover tape, ensuring the extender stays in place during high-speed assembly operations.
Reduction of Lost Components: Provides secure extension to cover tape, reducing component loss and saving material costs while minimizing management time.
Reduction in Feeder Load Time: Ready-to-use leader tape allows operators to quickly load reels into feeders without additional preparation, streamlining the assembly process and improving productivity.
