Chapter 4: Setup
Load Cover Tape
Step 5:
1.
Remove the Reel Lock mechanism and place a reel of cover tape of the correct
Setup
width to match the carrier tape on the cover tape spindle. The tape should unwind
Taper
to the right from the bottom of the reel. Ensure that there is sufficient tape for the
COVER
batch to be run. The reel should be pushed onto the holder so that it is flush with
TAPE
the back.
2.
Replace the Reel Lock and position it so the
reel is supported and spins freely on the
spindle with little or no drag.
Note: To remove the Reel Lock mecha-
nism from the cover tape support arm, sim-
ply pull the two metal disks apart and slide
the Reel Lock off the spindle.
3.
Check that the cover tape guide width is adjusted correctly for the cover tape that
will be used. Pull the cover tape down and compare it to the current setting
If the guide is set too wide or too narrow, loosen the red knob set screw and pull or
push the guide in and out until it matches the width of the cover tape with only a
slight amount of extra room..
4.
If the cover tape is PSA, attach it to the carrier tape using the adhesive on the
underside of the tape.
If the cover tape is Heat Seal, use blue Permacel tape to attach the cover tape to
the carrier tape just ahead of the cover tape guide.
5.
Thread both the carrier tape and cover tape through the cover tape guide sealer
assembly.
Note: A sharp instrument, such as a pair of tweezers may aid in guiding the cover
tape into the sealer.
