The Automatic Splicing Machine is designed to connect old and new component tapes before the feeder runs out of material. It detects the empty tape section, confirms the cutting position, trims both tape ends, and completes the joining process automatically. This reduces production stops caused by manual reel replacement and helps operators manage materials more efficiently. Different models support 8 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm, and 24 mm paper or embossed tapes. The system also includes CCD inspection, barcode verification, guided software, and optional MES communication. With a typical splicing cycle of 6–12 seconds, the machine supports stable material flow in high-volume and mixed-product electronics factories.
The vision system checks the carrier tape before cutting and joining. CCD cameras with upper and lower lighting provide a clear view of the component pockets and can detect components above 01005. The system identifies empty sections, component spacing, and surface markings to reduce the risk of connecting incorrect materials. After inspection, independent motors move the tape through precision guide rails. Fine-tooth drive wheels improve traction, while side pressing covers keep the tape in position. The guide track adjusts according to the selected tape type. This combination helps the Automatic Splicing Machine maintain accurate tape movement and consistent alignment throughout the complete splicing process.
The cutting module uses a high-hardness internal blade to create a smooth and controlled tape edge. When the CCD system confirms the empty position, the machine completes the cut automatically. A manual cutter is also available for removing long empty sections before operation. During joining, a vacuum system holds the splicing tape firmly in place. The heated adsorption head and independent temperature controller provide stable bonding conditions. Stepper motors and a patented gear structure control the movement of both tape ends. Multiple motors work together to reduce tape jams and waste blockage. This design allows the SMT Automatic Intelligence Splicing Machine to achieve a passing rate of up to 98%.
The control system is built around an industrial computer, an IO control card, and independent drive units. Each module operates separately, which supports stable machine performance and easier maintenance. Rechargeable lithium batteries provide approximately 12–14 hours of working time, so the equipment can move between different production lines without a fixed power cable. The operator interface follows a guided process and can usually be learned within five minutes. Chinese and English languages are available. A wireless barcode scanner is included for material verification. The Intelligence Splicing Machine also supports BOM import, production data analysis, optional MES communication, and optional RC value measurement for supported 8 mm tapes.

| SMT Line Equipment List
The Automatic Splicing Machine can support a complete surface-mount production line that includes a PCB loader, full-automatic solder paste printer, SPI system, placement machines, conveyors, reflow oven, AOI inspection equipment, PCB unloader, depaneling machine, and cleaning system. Its main role is to keep component materials available while the placement machine continues running. This is especially useful for factories with frequent reel changes, large production orders, or many component types. I.C.T can plan the equipment layout, material flow, inspection method, required capacity, and future expansion based on the customer’s PCB and factory conditions. Proper line integration reduces unnecessary waiting and improves overall production coordination.

| Customer Success Video
I.C.T recently delivered a fully automatic surface-mount line and a DIP insertion line to a power supply manufacturer in Kazakhstan. The surface-mount equipment included a PCB loader, full-automatic printer, placement machines, conveyors, reflow oven, and offline AOI system. Engineers Andy and Billy traveled to the customer’s factory to complete installation, line adjustment, production testing, and operator training. After the project was completed, the customer praised the machine quality, reasonable price, and practical engineering support. The customer also thanked both engineers for building the production line and teaching the local team how to operate the equipment. The project shows how equipment delivery and on-site training can work together to support a smooth production start.
| Service and Training Support
I.C.T provides support from production planning through equipment installation and daily operation. Before shipment, each machine is inspected for mechanical movement, electrical safety, software functions, and basic production performance. After delivery, engineers can help with equipment positioning, line connection, leveling, parameter setup, and sample testing. Training covers normal operation, material preparation, program settings, maintenance, alarm handling, and common troubleshooting. For the Splicing Machine, operators learn how to scan reel labels, load component tapes, confirm CCD results, complete automatic cutting, and check the final joint. The goal is to help the customer’s team operate the equipment independently and maintain stable production after the engineer leaves.
| Customer Feedback
Customers often mention four areas when reviewing I.C.T projects: machine stability, engineer professionalism, packaging quality, and response speed. During overseas installation, engineers stay closely involved until the production line operates correctly and the customer’s team understands the main procedures. Machines are protected with suitable wrapping, cushioning, supports, and export wooden cases before shipment. This reduces movement and damage risks during long-distance transportation. When technical questions appear, the sales and engineering teams coordinate through online support or on-site service. Customers also value clear explanations because practical training is easier to follow than complex manuals. These details help build long-term cooperation beyond the first equipment order.
| Certifications and Standards
I.C.T equipment is produced under a structured quality management process covering design, incoming materials, assembly, testing, packaging, and shipment. Available qualifications include CE, RoHS, ISO 9001, and several technical patents. These documents support product safety, environmental compliance, manufacturing control, and independent product development. Certification alone does not replace inspection, so each machine also passes electrical checks, mechanical verification, operating tests, appearance inspection, and final shipment confirmation. The I.C.T-AISM08 SMT Intelligence Splicing Machine is tested according to its configured functions, including CCD inspection, tape movement, barcode verification, and splicing performance. This process helps customers receive equipment that is ready for installation and production preparation.
