Cover tape, a tape specifically designed to cover and protect electronic components on a carrier tape for later use in a Pick and Place machine (SMTA Production), plays a role in protecting devices during transportation, storage, and reel handling on the production line. This protective tape keeps components undamaged during handling, transportation, loading/unloading in SMT Feeder and also becomes the shield against potential damage such as static discharge, drops, dust, or contaminants, ensuring that components reach their destination.

Cover Tape Heat (Heat)

This method uses heat as its primary tool to seal and secure components to the carrier tape. The application of heat creates a firm and secure bond between the layers of tape, holding the components in place. This efficient method is widely used in electronic manufacturing environments where component weight or value requires a high level of reliability.

PSA Cover Tape (Pressure)

In contrast, pressure-sealed cover tape dispenses with heat and uses the force of pressure on a pre-applied adhesive to secure the bond with the carrier tape. Although less common than heat sealing, it is a preferred option in situations where thermal exposure is sought, and high volumes, also for lightweight components.
