Avoid Downtime for Your Pick-and-Place Machines by Changing SMD Reels

Our splice products connect your component reels and ensure smooth production in electronics manufacturing

Every time you change SMD reels, your production stops for a few minutes.

And every minute of downtime often costs several thousand euros.

Our splice products eliminate the need for manual changes. The next component reel is connected in just a few seconds. And it’s all done without stopping operations.

Why pick-and-place machines waste money on your production line

Every component reel change leads to machine downtime. This increases your production times and leads to lost sales.

Here’s an example:

Let’s assume that you have to change your reels 4 times a day on a pick-and-place machine. To do this with all the reels, you need 10 minutes. That’s 40 minutes a day.

Excluding weekend work, that’s 3 hours and 20 minutes a week.

So more than 13 hours every month. Assuming one hour of downtime costs you €800, that’s around €10,000 every month. Extrapolated over a year, that’s €120,000 just for the downtime of one pick-and-place machine.

These downtimes can be completely avoided with SMD belt connector technology. The new reel is connected using tapes. The reel material is therefore endless and a “flying” reel change is possible. And without any machine downtime.

But only if you choose the right provider ...

Why most splice products on the market don't work

Even though SMD belt connector technology is already well known in electronics production, many still decide against using it.

Splice products only work if …

... the adhesive is strong enough.

Many manufacturers rely on cheap adhesives in order to achieve the highest possible margins. The problem with this is that the component reels do not adhere firmly enough to each other and can tear. If this happens in the machine, it not only comes to a standstill, but may also have to be repaired.

... they are an exact fit for your system.

There are hundreds of different machine manufacturers and belt sizes. The splice tapes must fit together exactly so that the pick and place machine can continue to run smoothly.

... handling is as simple as possible.

To ensure that your employees use the products, the tapes must be quick and easy to apply.

Market-leading splice products from allSMT

We come from the electronics manufacturing industry ourselves, so we know that splice products only work if they fit perfectly, adhere firmly and are easy to install. Because not all products on the market meet these requirements for every machine, we have manufactured our own products.

Your advantages with allSMT:

6-month guarantee on the adhesive strength

We have tested the various adhesives on the market and found out which ones really deliver what they promise. That's why we give you a 6-month guarantee on the adhesive strength of our splice tapes.

Mounted in just a few seconds

All our tapes are clearly labeled according to size and can therefore be directly assigned to the appropriate guide roller. Some of our products also have an alignment edge to make installation even easier.

All sizes and variants in the range

No matter which pick-and-place machine you use, we have the right tapes in stock for every manufacturer. And thanks to our in-house development, custom production is not a problem either. We guarantee that you will always get the tape that fits your machine exactly.

Assembly tool

Depending on the component reel and machine type, tapes can only be assembled with one tool. We develop the tools for this ourselves. This enables us to ensure that the assembly really works smoothly.

Employee training

We show your employees how to install the tapes and provide you with training videos.

Sample solutions

If you like, you can test our tapes at your leisure before making a purchase. We would be happy to send you a sample.

Delivery in just 2 days

Thanks to our in-house development and large stock availability, we can ship your orders on the same day. On average, you will receive your tapes in just 2 working days.

ESD compliant

As our products can come into contact with electrostatically sensitive components, they are always ESD compliant. This is how we protect your electronic components from failure.

Reduce machine downtime in 3 steps

Offer

Depending on the machine manufacturer and reel sizes, we will provide you with a specific quotation for the appropriate splice tapes.

Delivery

We are now preparing your tapes for use in your production. Your products will be delivered to you in just 2 working days.

Training and deployment

We provide you with training videos and instructions so that your employees can start working with the tapes straight away. Now you can start using them straight away and significantly reduce your production times.

So that you can see the quality of our tapes for yourself, we will be happy to send you a sample if required

What happens during the consultation?

During the consultation, we will find out the machine manufacturer and the exact model you use in your electronics production. We will recommend the right tapes for your production and you will find out how much faster your production can run by using them.

Frequently Asked Questions about SMD Splice Products from allSMT

What are pick-and-place machines in electronics production?

Pick-and-place machines are machines that place electronic components (SMDs) onto printed circuit boards. These machines work with component reels that have to be changed regularly, which leads to machine downtime.

What is the main problem with SMD reel changes?

When changing an empty SMD reel, the machine must be stopped, which leads to production downtime. A reel change can take up to 5 minutes and often has to be carried out several times per shift.

How can splice products prevent machine downtime?

Splice products connect the SMD component reels seamlessly so that the reels can be changed without machine downtime. Production runs continuously, which saves time and costs.

How does SMD belt connector technology work?

Splice tapes connect two SMD reels together. The adhesive technology and precise fit of the tapes enable a seamless transition between the reels without having to stop the machine.

What advantages do splice products from allSMT offer in electronics production?

– Avoids machine downtime
– Less downtime and higher production capacity
– Easy handling and quick installation
– Compatible with various machine models (traceability)

Are the splice products from allSMT suitable for all machines?

Yes, we offer splice products in different sizes and variants that fit all standard pick and place machines. We also develop special solutions for specific machine requirements.
