SMT Tape Automatic Splice Station

The CCD vision system inspects the component carrier tape before it enters the cutting area. Upper and lower lighting helps the cameras identify empty pockets, component spacing, and surface markings. Components above 01005 can be detected, while visual templates provide an additional check against material mismatch. After inspection, independent motors move the tapes through precision guide rails. Fine-tooth driving wheels maintain traction, and pressing covers on both sides prevent the tapes from moving out of position. The guide track changes according to the selected tape width. These combined functions allow the SMT Tape Automatic Splice Station to maintain controlled tape movement and accurate alignment before the joining process begins.
The cutting section uses a high-hardness blade to produce a clean tape edge. Once the CCD inspection confirms the empty position, the blade cuts automatically. A separate manual cutter is provided when a long unused tape section must be removed first. During the joining stage, a vacuum pump holds the adhesive tape securely, while the heated adsorption head supports a stable bond. Temperature is managed by an independent controller to keep each splicing cycle consistent. Stepper motors and a precision gear mechanism align both carrier tapes during connection. Coordinated motor movement also helps prevent tape jams and waste blockage. Under suitable operating conditions, the passing rate on the placement machine can reach up to 98%.
The SMT Tape Automatic Splice Station is controlled through an industrial computer, an IO control card, and separate drivers for its main working sections. This modular control structure supports consistent movement and makes inspection or maintenance more direct. The software guides the operator through tape loading, material confirmation, cutting, joining, and result checking. Chinese and English interfaces are available, and standard barcode scanning helps verify old and new reel information. BOM import and optional MES communication support production-data management. An RC measurement function is available for selected 8 mm tape configurations. Two rechargeable 24 V lithium batteries provide approximately 12–14 hours of operation, allowing flexible use in different production areas.

| SMT Line Equipment List
A complete surface-mount factory normally includes PCB loading, solder paste printing, SPI inspection, high-speed and multifunction placement, reflow soldering, AOI inspection, board unloading, depaneling, and cleaning processes. I.C.T plans these sections as one connected manufacturing system rather than selecting machines separately. Line capacity, PCB dimensions, component range, product changeover, inspection coverage, workshop space, and operator routes are reviewed before the layout is confirmed. Conveyor lengths and buffer positions are also matched to reduce waiting between processes. This complete-factory approach helps prevent capacity gaps, improve board flow, and reserve enough space for maintenance and later expansion. Customers receive a practical line configuration based on their real products and production goals.
| Product Name | Purpose in SMT Line |

| PCB Loader | Automatically loads bare PCBs to the line. |
| Solder Paste Printer | Prints solder paste on PCB pads accurately. |
| Pick and Place Machine | Mounts components onto PCBs precisely. |
| Reflow Oven | Melts solder to form solid joints. |
| AOI Machine | Inspects solder joints and placement defects. |
| SPI Machine | Checks solder paste height and quality. |
| Traceability Equipment | Records and tracks production data: Laser Marking Machine/Label Mounter/Inkjet Printer |
| SMT Cleaning Machine | Used for cleaning PCBs, stencils, fixtures, nozzles, etc. |
| Laser PCB Routing Machine | Cut the PCBA into the final product |
| Customer Success Video
A power supply manufacturer in Kazakhstan recently started production with a complete surface-mount line and a DIP insertion line supplied by I.C.T. The surface-mount section included a PCB loader, full-automatic solder paste printer, placement machines, conveyors, reflow oven, and offline AOI equipment. Engineers Andy and Billy visited the customer’s factory to install the machines, complete line connections, verify operating conditions, and train the local team. Once production testing was finished, the customer praised the equipment quality and cost performance. The customer also thanked both engineers for helping build the line and teaching the operators how to use the machines. Their feedback confirmed that the project was completed successfully from delivery through production startup.
| Service and Training Support
I.C.T supports complete factory projects from early planning to stable production. Before equipment selection, engineers review output targets, PCB information, product mix, inspection standards, utilities, and available floor space. The proposed layout covers machine positions, board direction, material routes, operator access, electricity, compressed air, and exhaust requirements. Before shipment, equipment passes mechanical, electrical, software, and operating checks. At the customer’s site, engineers complete positioning, leveling, communication setup, sample production, and process adjustment. Training is provided for operators, technicians, and maintenance staff, covering printing, placement, reflow, inspection, line operation, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting. This practical training helps the local team understand the full process and manage production independently.
| Customer Feedback
Customers often judge a factory project by more than production output. They also consider whether the equipment arrives safely, whether engineers explain the process clearly, and whether technical questions receive quick answers. I.C.T prepares each shipment through machine cleaning, surface protection, moisture control, cushioning, fixing, and export wooden-case packing. During overseas installation, engineers work with the customer’s team until the line has been tested and the main operating procedures are understood. After handover, sales and technical teams continue to provide remote guidance and arrange further support when required. Customers frequently praise the engineers’ patience, the machines’ stable performance, the careful packing method, and the fast response to production issues.
| Certifications and Standards
I.C.T follows a structured quality management process covering incoming components, equipment assembly, internal inspection, trial operation, packing, and shipment approval. Available qualifications include CE, RoHS, ISO 9001, and multiple technical patents. These certifications support electrical safety, environmental compliance, manufacturing management, and independent product development. For complete factory projects, every machine is checked individually and then reviewed as part of the connected production system. Engineers verify mechanical movement, electrical wiring, software functions, safety alarms, communication interfaces, and production readiness. Documentation and inspection records can be prepared according to project requirements. This system helps ensure that each delivered line meets a consistent quality standard instead of relying only on final inspection.
