SYSTEM AND METHOD OF REPLACING REEL < 1 TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION < os
A method and system for replacing reel, comprising the steps of tape feeding = station feeds tape to said coiling station through at least one bridge; said step of 5 feeding tape to said coiling station is done by predetermining the orientation of at least one male key element at shaft of said coiling station, before at least one matching female key element of said reel is snugly fitted to said male key element of said shaft, providing predetermined reel position such that said tape from said bridge is aligned to at least one tape insertion slot on said reel. 2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Nowadays, one of the major issues faced by the semiconductor field is that failed insertion of a carrier tape into a reel. Carrier tape insertion opening at said reel has small clearance for carrier tape to be inserted. If the position or angle of said carrier tape deviates slightly from the opening, carrier tape insertion into reel will fail.
Current driving force on said carrier tape is not enough to “self-align” and push the :
Fo carrier tape into reel opening. -
Ismeca, US 8439292 B2 disclosed a device for the automatic coiling and/ or . uncoiling on reels of a flexible tape carrier of electronic components, the device = comprising a coiling location where a reel can be connected to a rotation actuator, and > retractable tape guides, consisting of articulated jaws that can be closed together forming a channel to guide the flexible tape and connect a free end of the flexible tape to a hub of the reel, the device further having a stopper element that engages with the slot in the reel hub, in order to stop the reel in a position in which the slot is aligned with the tape guide. However, this invention does not have predetermined orientation during reel loading and it is not able to print out label with output information.
Ogawa, US 4747553 A disclosed a method of taking up tape storing chip type parts therein and a device for doing so in which the tape is wound on a reel, and cut to form a tape leader which is taped to the peripheral surface of the outermost tape winding. Typically, slots having constant rectangular cross sections allow the tape to be inserted in any orientation and fed over either edge of the lead in as long as the
EE ————————reeererorororororor machine engaging holes of the tape mate with the advancing mechanism of the < feeding machine. The lack of a required tape orientation within the slot and a specific ~ edge over which the tape must be reeled can result in the components being os incorrectly oriented within the slot, the tape being reeled backwards on the hub and - the carried components being incorrectly positioned on the circuit board. The © frequency of these errors increases as the speed at which the reel operator has to work - increases. If the carrier tape is not positioned on the reel so that the components are delivered to the insertion machine in their proper orientation or if the feeding portion of the tape unable to engage the advancing mechanism, the customer will have to return the tape or be forced to re-reedit themselves. This can be aggravating and time consuming,
Hence, it would be advantageous to alleviate the shortcomings by having a system and method for replacing reel with traceability wherein said system and method can prevent and reduce product defects by having a predetermined orientation of at least one male key element at shaft of a coiling station, before at least one matching female key element of a reel is snugly fitted to said male key element of said shaft, providing predetermined reel position such that a tape from said bridge is - [ aligned to at least one tape insertion slot on said reel. - 3.
