SMT Tip: Most Feeder Errors Start at the Splice
If you’re chasing random feeder jams or intermittent misfeeds, check your splice before changing machine settings.
A weak splice or inaccurate pitch creates drag, skew, and vibration — problems that only show up once the line is running at speed.
That’s why experienced SMT teams standardize on high-quality polyester splice tapes with consistent adhesive strength and dimensional stability.
Using the right tape means:
• Smoother feeder travel
• Fewer operator interventions
• Better placement accuracy
• Higher overall line efficiency
If your splices need to work the first time — every time — choose tapes engineered for production, not price.
