Empalmadora automática SMT GK320

The SMT automatic splicer is an automated equipment used in surface mount technology (SMT) production lines. It is mainly used to automatically splice the reel tape (such as the carrier tape of components such as resistors, capacitors, ICs, etc.) without stopping the machine, thereby ensuring production continuity and efficiency. The following is a detailed introduction:

1. Funciones principales

Automatic splicing: Automatically detect and splice the new tape before the previous reel tape is used up to avoid production line interruption.

Tape identification: Identify the type, pitch and width of the tape through sensors or visual systems.

Precise positioning: Ensure the alignment of new and old tapes to avoid component placement deviation.

Waste handling: Automatically peel off the protective film or waste of the tape.

2. Main components

Tape clamping mechanism: Fix the new and old tapes to ensure stable transportation.

Cutting/splicing unit: Splice the tape by hot pressing, ultrasound or tape.

Sensor system: Detect the end of the tape, tension and splicing position.

Control module: PLC or industrial computer control, support human-machine interface (HMI).

Alarm system: abnormal conditions (such as splicing failure, tape offset) trigger alarms.

3. Workflow

Detect tape end: sensor detects that the current tape is about to run out.

Preparing new tape: automatically feed the new tape and adjust it to synchronize with the old tape.

Splicing: cut the tail of the old tape, align it with the head of the new tape and bond it (tape or hot press).

Verification: check the splicing firmness and position accuracy.

Continue production: seamless connection without manual intervention.

4. Ventajas técnicas

Improve efficiency: reduce downtime for material change and improve equipment utilization (OEE).

Reduce costs: avoid material waste and labor costs.

High precision: ±0.1mm splicing accuracy to ensure the accuracy of the placement machine.

Compatibility: adapt to a variety of tape widths (such as 8mm, 12mm, 16mm, etc.) and component types.

5. Application scenarios

Mass production: such as production lines that require continuous placement of consumer electronics and automotive electronics.

High-precision requirements: PCBs with strict requirements on component positions (such as high-frequency communication modules).

Unmanned factories: Linked with AGV and MES systems to achieve fully automated production.

6. Mainstream brands and selection

Brands: ASM, Panasonic, Universal Instruments, domestic Juki, YAMAHA, etc.

Selection points:

Material tape compatibility (width, spacing).

Splicing method (tape/hot pressing/ultrasonic).

Communication interface (supports linkage with placement machines).

7. Development trend

Intelligence: AI visual inspection of splicing quality and predictive maintenance.

Flexibility: Adapt to the needs of fast line change for small batches and multiple varieties.

Green energy saving: Reduce material waste and optimize energy consumption.

Resumen

SMT automatic material receiving machine is a key equipment to improve the efficiency and automation level of SMT production lines, especially suitable for modern electronic manufacturing with high mix and high output requirements. By reducing human intervention, it significantly reduces the production failure rate and is an important part of smart factories.
