4008 Loader

Flexible...

• Adjustable to package the GPAX ThruPAX, Semi-Pocket, and FlatPAX mechanically interlocking tape widths from 44mm to152mm (backward compatible for inch widths).
• Adjustable counters for reel quantity, GAP (length of combined leader and trailer), and CUT location.
• Adjustable to package a full range of carrier tape pitches from 16mm to 48mm.

Rugged...

• All index and stitching motions are cam driven.
• Simplified modular construction provides long life and reliable operation.
• Handles input tape supply and packaged reel widths with heavy components such as magnetics up to 18kg (40 lbs).

Safe...

• All mechanical motions are guarded and electrically interlocked.
• Indexes only upon external signal or operator depressing foot switch.

Efficient...

• Carrier and StitchLock cover tapes can be easily spliced during packaging, thus avoiding scrap and minimizing machine downtime.
• Supply reels of unpopulated carrier and StitchLock cover tape are large, usually carrying in excess of 20,000 pitches (ThruPAX) - minimizes inventory replenishment, associated down-time, and material handling costs.
• Foam interleave tape (if specified) can be easily spliced during packaging.

Fast...

• Indexes at a rate of 4,800 pitches per hour when continuously depressing foot switch, or one pitch at a time by pulsing foot switch (or remote operation signal).
• Automatable for large volume, dedicated, and low cost operation.
• Micro PLC controlled with EEPROM back up.

Process Proven...

• Reel flange guards control flange deflection during packaging.
• Dancer arms automatically activate feeding of unpopulated carrier and StitchLock tapes on demand and wind up packaged reels.
• Output dancer arm weight provides proper wrap tension during packaging.

GPAX is now an EIA standard which includes standardization of carrier widths.
