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: A vibrator module adapted for use in a taper apparatus for advancing carrier tape having a plurality of compartments and for placing parts in the compartments. The vibrator module includes a motor that includes an output shaft that rotates in response to operation of the motor. The vibrator module also includes an eccentric weight mounted to and rotatable with the output shaft. The eccentric weight causes the motor to vibrate in response to rotation of the output shaft and eccentric weight. The vibrator module further includes a vibration transferring member interconnected with the motor and operable to transfer vibrations from the motor to the carrier tape to cause the parts to settle into the bottoms of the compartments.

Abstract: A vibrator module (66) adapted for use in a taper apparatus (10) for advancing carrier tape (18) having a plurality of compartments and for placing parts (46) in the compartments (34). The vibrator module (66) includes a motor (70) that includes an output shaft (72) that rotates in response to operation of the motor (70). The vibrator module (66) also includes an eccentric weight (74) mounted to and rotatable with the output shaft (72). The eccentric weight (74) causes the motor (70) to vibrate in response to rotation of the output shaft (72) and eccentric weight (74). The vibrator module (66) further includes a vibration transferring member (78) interconnected with the motor (70) and operable to transfer vibrations from the motor (70) to the carrier tape (18) to cause the parts (46) to settle into the bottoms of the compartments (34).
