6.4 Tape Splicing Tool for SMD Tape Connections
6.4.1 Area of Use
The splice tool enables you to splice on a new tape for refilling components on tapes without causing a
machine standstill.
The splicing procedure takes place outside the working area of the SIPLACE placement machine which
is secured with protective switches.
When splicing components on tapes, you connect the virtually finished paper or blister tape in the feeder
with the beginning of a new tape.
The splice tool functions like a crimping tool. It enables you to "rivet" the underside of the tape, thereby
connecting the "old" and "new" tapes with one another. A special adhesive strip on the upper side of the
tape connects the cover foil.
When correctly connected, the tape ends are joined together precisely to the grid. The tape - with its
transition point - can then be seamlessly transported into the feeder and the foil can be stripped off as
usual.
The splice tool can be used to splice all blister or paper tapes.
Tapes WITHOUT cover foil (surf tapes) are NOT spliced together.

6.4.2 Safety Instructions
6.4.3 Tools Required
Tools
▪ Splice tool
▪ Splice tool, Item No. 02102987-xx (optional, without consumable materials package)
▪ Scissors for paper, sharp but not too long or pointed
▪ Pointed tweezers
▪ You may need a brush with shirt, firm bristles to clean the contact surface of the feeder on the
changeover table.
6.4.4 Consumable Materials Required
The following consumable materials are contained in the "Consumables package for splice tool", Item
No. 02102988-03:
▪ Special adhesive tape, width 8 mm
(Item No. for separate orders 00356343-xx)
▪ Splicing plates, suitable for all tapes used with SIPLACE placement machines, which can be
"refilled" by splicing!
(Item No. for separate orders 00318671-xx)
Not included in the above mentioned consumable materials package:
▪ Special adhesive tape, width 16 mm, Item No. 00356344-xx
WARNING
When closing the splicing tool, hold it away from your body and make sure that you do not get
your fingers near the closing apparatus.
CAUTION
The splice tool is only used outside the placement machine.
Make sure that no parts, such as the riveted strips or pieces of adhesive tape, can fall into the
feeder or the working area of the placement machine, as this could interrupt operation and
cause malfunctions.
NOTICE
To splice tapes, you require the
SIPLACE Operator Kit
,
Item No. 00349303-xx.
This Operator Kit contains 1 leather case, 1 pair SMD tweezers, 1 small slotted screwdriver,
1 small Phillips screwdriver, 1 pair scissors and 1 brush.
CAUTION
Make sure that you ONLY use the special adhesive tapes specified here for splicing.
NEVER use other adhesive tapes, such as normal sellotape!

Preparation Tape Splicing Tool for SMD Tape Connections

6.4.5 Preparation
►Place all required tools and consumable materials on a conveniently accessible work surface e.g. in
an open, shallow container which you can then fix to the tape container or to a trolley:
►CUT a number of pieces from the special adhesive tape (with the correct width for your component
tape) and place them within reach of your working area.
►Place the splicing plates within reach.
6.4.6 Connecting the Tapes
6.4.6.1 Splicing Time
Correct
Join the tapes when there is approx. 1.5 m left of the "old" tape. This gives you enough time to perform
the splicing properly.
Incorrect
Do NOT join the tapes if the "old" tape is still so long that the volume of the new tape reel would be too
great, after the old tape has been connected and wound onto the new reel.
▪ In this case, the tape could get twisted more easily and then block the feeder.
▪ Part of the tape could also fall off the reel and be damaged on the floor.

NOTICE
Make sure that the tapes are connected in good time, so that you do NOT have empty pickup
positions. Each empty pickup position can lead to a vacuum pickup error (error no. 43). Un-
successful pickup runs (pickup errors) reduce the performance of the placement machine. The
3rd pickup error in a specific track causes a machine standstill, if there is no substitute track
available.
NOTICE
You can prepare the beginning of the new tape reels before you actually perform splicing. This
helps reduce the time taken for splicing at the placement machine.
