SMD Component Tape Strip Hold Tray

3D-Printed SMD Component Tape Tray for Pick & Place Machines

Streamline your surface-mount assembly with this 3D-printed SMD component tape holder. Specially designed for vision-assisted Pick and Place (PnP) systems like the LitePlacer, this tray exposes sprocket holes cleanly for fast computer-vision recognition while keeping component strips secure.

Key Features

• Vision-System Compatible: Open channel architecture allows machine vision systems to easily detect indexing holes on component tapes.
• Vibration Dampening & Labeling: Features a dedicated label facet for quick component identification and integrated mounting holes to secure the tray to your PnP bed—preventing component bounce during high-speed picking.
• Precision Friction Fit: Holds SMD tapes securely in place while still allowing smooth manual adjustments with light force.
• Ordering Customization: Available in multiple colors. Please specify your preferred color when ordering (default is black).

Usage & Setup Notes

• Best Results: Screw the tray firmly to your machine table before peeling back protective plastic covers from your SMD component strips to prevent parts from popping out.
• Manufacturing Detail: Due to the 3D-printing process, minor surface burrs may be present. These can easily be trimmed using a hobby knife or sharp blade.
