ABSTRACT:
Supply of tape components in which a tape replacement can be performed without any loss in performance is provided for by unwinding a first tape from a first reel, moving components located in the pockets of said first tape to a pickup position where they are picked up by a placement machine, splicing the end of said first tape to the start of a second tape wound on a second reel, and replacing said first reel by said second reel. A splice sensor is included for detecting a splice between the first and second tape. The signals from such splice sensor allow for an automatic and synchronous take over of the related data of the newly joined second tape.
