Tape feeder

The present invention relates to a tape feeder, and more specifically, to a tape feeder which comprises: a carrier tape having a plurality of pockets in which electronic parts are settled; a tape guide which transfers the carrier tape in a preset moving path to successively place the electronic parts at a pick-up position; an adsorption unit which includes a connection flow path placed inside the tape guide for an adsorption section which is along the moving path at least up to the pick-up position, and a plurality of adsorption nozzles whose lower ends respectively communicate with the connection flow path and whose upper ends are exposed towards the side of the pockets; a vacuum generation module which generates an induction force to communicate with the connection nozzles, to communicate with the connection nozzles, and to make the electronic parts inside the pockets be adsorbed onto the floor surface of the pockets through the adsorption nozzles which communicate with the penetrating hole formed on the pockets by the induction force; and a friction prevention groove formed on the upper surface of the tape guide in the shape of a groove along the moving path, which does not communicate with the adsorption nozzles or the connection flow path. Accordingly, the present invention is able to prepare the friction prevention groove on the upper surface of the tape guide, to prevent a partial disconnection or an uneven transfer from occurring on the transfer of the carrier tape by friction between the carrier tape and an upper surface of the tape guide, and to prevent the electronic parts from flowing inside the pockets.

Spool for endless tape cartridge

A molded plastic spool having a tape platform for an endless array of magnetic tape and a hub with an upper hub extension thereon is formed in one piece to replace presently used twopiece spools. The hub extension, which has a larger diameter than the diameter of the lower portion of the hub joined to the platform, is formed to allow inward deflection to permit stripping of the spool from a mold. Preferably, the hub extension is segmented to provide individual segments which are deflected radially inwardly during stripping and then allowed to return outwardly when free of the mold.

Feeding mechanism for perforated flexible strip - claws feed strip intermittently under control of double slide mechanism

Feeding mechanism for locating integrated circuits carried by perforated strips under working stations, or for film strips has claws gripping alternate sets of perforations. Other perforations are used for accurate locating. Driven by electric motor (1), a rotating cam (9) with a shaped slot moves a primary (17) and a secondary (21) slide together in linear motion. The secondary slide drives a third slide (26) carrying the gripping claws (32). The secondary and third slides, these have inclined planes (23, 30) working together to engage and disengage the claws once every cycle. The rotary cam also closes a microswitch (8) each cycle and this operates the working heads.

1390293 Feeding webs; cores GARLOCK Inc 22 Jan 1973 [8 Feb 1972 17 Jan 1973] 3147/73 Headings B8R and B8M An apparatus for feeding tape 33, Fig. 1, from a tape roll 12 to a workpiece 14 which is to be wrapped up in a length of tape comprises a primary tape feed mechanism 32 for feeding the tape to the workpiece and a secondary tape feed mechanism which includes an air impulse turbine 42, Fig. 2, for initiation rotation of the tape roll for feeding the tape from the roll. In operation, a workpiece holder 30 is pivoted away from a stop 370 for insertion of the workpiece 14 which is supported by rollers 350, 352, the holder being then pivoted against the stop for bringing the workpiece into contact with a tape feed roller 34 supplied with tape 33 by a reciprocable finger 104 of the tape feed mechanism 32. The feed roller draws the tape to be wound on the workpiece from a buffer store 36 over guide rollers 38, 39, 40, the tape 33 being cut by a blade 146 following wrapping of the length of tape into the workpiece. The buffer store is provided with a pneumatic sensor 60 which is controlled by an inertial element 52 supporting a loop of tape and provided with an extension 72 which when lifted causes the sensor 60 to apply compressed air via a tube 132 to a brake 64 to remove a brake shoe 134 out of contact with the tape roll spindle 47, Fig. 2, and to apply compressed air via a tube 96 to a turbine manifold block 80 which is provided with nozzles 83, Fig. 5, through which air jets impinge on radial vanes 114, Fig. 8, of the turbine wheel 84 forming part of the core 48, Pressure of jets is controlled by a knob 330 for the turbine 42 to drive the tape roll at a speed preventing tape roll overdrive. Tape feed from the roll 12 is stop when the sensor is reset by the projection 72 when the turbine is stopped and the brake 64 applied to the spindle 47. Core.-The core 48 which is mounted on the spindle 47 includes a tube 106, Fig. 2, whose ends are permanently associated with ...

Control for taking up slack in strip feeder - has optical detectors to monitor double loops hanging between multiple rollers

The feed mechanism consists of a number of rollers having the strip material passing over them. Some of the rollers are powered, and other are idlers or guides. Some rollers are fitted with guide wheels which ensure contact between the strip and the roller over a pre-determined radius. When the feed of the strip continues when there is no demand then the strip droops between adjacent rollers (10, 12). The jockey pulley falls and the central pulley moves upwards to form a double loop. The movement is monitored by optical detectors (16, 17).
