Abstract: A method for inspecting composite tape including cover tape bonded to carrier tape comprises capturing a digital image of the composite tape, dividing the seal tracks within the image into a plurality of fragments or segments. The method also provides for analyzing each segment of the seal track for the presence or absence of the seal and for the width of the seal, and assigning a failing grade to the segment if the seal is not continuous within the segment or if the seal has a width less than a minimum width within the segment. The method further provides for notifying a machine operator of a defective seal if the number consecutively-failed segments in the seal track exceeds a defect tolerance. The method also provides for measuring the spacings of the carrier tape edge, cover tape edge, and seal tracks from each other and comparing those spacings to acceptable values.

Abstract translation: 一种用于检查复合带的方法，包括结合到载带（34）上的盖带（41），包括捕获复合材料（34）带的数字图像，将图像内的密封轨迹分成多个片段或片段。 该方法还提供分析密封轨道的每个部分是否存在密封件和密封件的宽度，并且如果密封件在段内不连续或者如果密封件具有 宽度小于段内的最小宽度。 如果密封轨道中的数量连续失效的段超过缺陷公差，则该方法还提供通知机器操作者缺陷密封件。 该方法还提供了测量载带边缘，盖带边缘和彼此密封轨迹的间距，并将这些间距与可接受的值进行比较。

Abstract: A multiple output reel module includes a reel wheel (50) supporting a plurality of spindles (116). Mounted to each spindle is a reel (74). The reel wheel is rotatable to position one of the spindle and reel combinations in a loading position in which output media (16) from a nearby machine is interconnected to the reel. The spindle and reel are rotated to load the reel with output media (16). A CPU monitors the status of the reel, and stops the loading when the reel is full. The CPU then rotates the reel wheel to position a second spindle and reel combination in the loading position. The output media is automatically positioned over a portion of the second reel, and the output media is automatically interconnected to the second reel with an over-center finger assembly (248). Then output media between the two reels is cut and the second reel is loaded with output media.
