sprocket holes of the carrier tape are on the inside for tape widths less than 32mm.
Tapes wider than 32mm have holes on both sides.
4.
Trim the end of the carrier tape, cutting
between two pockets with a sharp scissors so
the edge is cleanly cut. Cut the edge of the
tape again, cutting through a sprocket hole at
a 45° angle so the tape feeds easily.
5.
Guide the carrier tape under the Carrier Tape
Guide and then feed it through the carrier
tape channel under the taper.
Note: A sharp instrument, such as a pair of
tweezers may aid in guiding the carrier tape
into the loading track.
6.
Continue to guide the carrier tape forward
through the loading track and the sealer until it reaches the sprocket.
7.
Lift the idler wheel and place the carrier tape
onto the sprocket so that the holes engage
the teeth. Release the idler wheel so that it is
secured in place.
Taper Setup
Mechanical Hazard!
Do not attempt to activate the sprocket while tape is being routed
through the sealer. Pinching or entrapment may occur if safety precau-
tions are not observed.
