Operation
Once carrier tape and cover tape have been loaded, sealer setup is complete and the controller
settings are selected, the OEM TM-50 is ready for operation.
Caution!
V-TEK® Incorporated takes no responsibility for the safety of the OEM TM-50 if it is
used for any purpose other than the intended purpose as specified in this User’s
Guide.
Mount a Take-up Reel
Mount an empty
Take-up Reel
on the
Take-up Reel Spindle
. The width of the reel must match
the width of the carrier tape and its diameter should be large enough to accommodate the num-
ber of components in the taping job.
Setup the Sealer
If the new job requires a change of sealer type (from
Heat Seal
to
PSA
, for instance) or size of
carrier tape, setup the
Sealer
for the new settings as described above in the
Heat
and
PSA Setup
sections above.
Perform a Test Seal
Run the tape through the
Taping Module
by pressing the
Foot Switch
. As the seal is occurring,
watch the alignment of the cover tape with the carrier tape. The cover tape should run exactly in
the groove of the
Cover Tape Guide
and the seal should appear as a solid, consistent line.
Adjust the seal positions as described in the
Sealer Setup
sections above, if it is necessary.
Perform a Peel Force Test
For most taping applications, a
Peel Force Test
is needed to determine the seal characteristics.
Perform as many
Peel Force Tests
as needed while adjusting the sealer controls to obtain the
required seal strength.
Create the Trailer
Leader/Trailer
Before beginning a production reel, determine how long the trailer and the leader should be. The
terms “leader” and “trailer” refer to the lengths of empty carrier tape required at the beginning
(leader) and the end (trailer) of the finished reel of placed parts. Therefore, when the reel is
being taped on the TM-50, the trailer is the first length of empty carrier tape run before the first
part is taped and the leader is the length of empty carrier tape run after the last part is taped.
After the cover tape alignment and any
Peel Force Tests
are completed, run out enough sealed
empty pockets to make the trailer that is required for the current job.
