12mm Black Double Splice Tape M1312 Panasonic

12mm Black Double Splice Tape for Panasonic CM402 SMT Pick and Place Machine, M13 Series Special SMT Splice Tape For Panasonic Machine

M1312 splice tape is a specialized, 12mm wide, matt black double splice tape used for joining Surface Mount Technology (SMT) component carrier tapes in Panasonic pick and place machines, such as the CM402.

Key Features and Application

• Application: The primary use is to join the end of an existing component reel tape with the beginning of a new reel tape, allowing for continuous production without stopping the machine to reload. This process, known as "splicing," maximizes the efficiency and output of the pick and place machine.
• Color and Sensor Compatibility: The tape is matt black because Panasonic machines like the CM402 use optical sensors that detect the black color to identify the joint point during the automated splicing process.
• Type: It is a double splice tape (sticky on both sides or a specific configuration to adhere to both carrier tape ends).
• Dimensions: It is specifically for use with 12mm wide carrier tapes.
• Material: The carrier tape being spliced is often paper or plastic (polyolefin polyethylene PE stretch film), and the splice tape itself typically uses an aggressive adhesive designed for quick and reliable bonding.
