DIMA SMT Systems is proud to announce the release of their latest component taping machine the Handytaper. Sometimes components are provided in a tray, in bags, or in a stick. However because of the amount of these components used on a pick & place machine you would rather have these components in tape. Using the DIMA Handytaper you can easily package components into any type of tape.

Standstill of a pick & place machine is a loss of production. Therefore it would be nice if every component used during production could be supplied on a reel. Sticks, trays and separate components supplied in a bag can be a nightmare for many production facilities. In some cases however components are not always available other than on a tray, in stick, or in bags. Using the DIMA Handytaper enables pack-aging these components into tape. The Handytaper is a semi-automatic taping machine offering the ability to package up to 800 components per hour. Utilising a fully programmable micro-processor provides the operator the ability to set the size of the tape cavity, the number of components to be taped and the speed of tape transport. The Handytaper comes in two variations; one without a pick & place head and one with a pick & place head. In case of components being supplied in stick, it is easy to fill the tape directly from the stick. However if components are supplied in a tray or in a bag, the components need to be picked up and placed into the tape. In that case the pick & place head allows trouble free placement of components into tape. The pick & place head utilises the unique DIMA sensatip™ design. The sensatip™ pick & place head movement is extremely light and its ergonomic design ensures relaxed placement of components. Vacuum is automatically switched on and off by simply touching the components with the nozzle. Components that have been picked up can be rotated over 360 degrees.
The Handytaper has been designed to use the unique “Cold Seal” method of sealing the cover tape. Therefore no heat or additional adhesive is needed to seal the cover tape. The Handytaper can be used for 8mm tapes up to 120mm tapes. The placement of the components is done manually, however the tape transportation and sealing process is fully automatic.

Dima can provide a free brochure and movie of the Handytaper!
