Product Introduction
The Siemens ASM SMT High Temperature Masking Tape Label Feeder is an automatic label feeding system designed specifically for Siemens ASM pick-and-place machines. Installed in the standard feeder slot, it uses motor-driven precision step feeding to automatically supply masking tape labels, which are picked by the machine nozzle and accurately placed on designated PCB areas. In pre-reflow processes, the feeder automatically applies labels to PCB gold fingers, connectors, or unused pads; after component placement, boards proceed directly to the reflow oven with no manual intervention. In wave soldering lines, the feeder automatically applies labels to component leads or test points that need to avoid solder contact, blocking solder and flux splatter to protect subsequent solderability. In double-sided reflow processes, the feeder automatically applies labels to the back side of PCBs to protect previously mounted components or sensitive areas, preventing contamination or component damage during the second reflow pass. For precision sensors, RF modules, battery connectors, and other sensitive areas, the feeder automatically completes precise placement, preventing flux residue from affecting signal transmission or contact reliability. Suitable for high-volume SMT production lines, it replaces manual tape application, eliminating positional deviation and efficiency bottlenecks.

Key Features
1. Plug-and-Play Compatibility with Siemens ASM Pick-and-Place Machines Designed for Siemens ASM feeder slots with matching mechanical dimensions, electrical interfaces, and communication protocols. No modification or adapter plates required—insert directly into the feeder station and the machine recognizes it immediately. Eliminates compatibility verification time and enables same-day deployment.
2. Automatic Feeding Synchronized to Machine Takt Time Motor-driven precision step feeding automatically matches the tape pitch to the pick-and-place nozzle cycle. From tape separation to PCB placement, the entire labeling process is fully automated. Labeling speed is determined by the machine spindle speed, increasing single-shift output from hundreds of units (manual) to thousands of units.
3. Precision Placement with Consistent Positioning Internal guide rails and pressure mechanisms ensure straight tape advancement. Combined with the pick-and-place machine’s vision positioning system, label pick-up and placement repeatability is governed by machine precision. Eliminates common manual application errors such as misalignment and offset that cause short circuits and PCB scrap.
4. Non-Stop Material Change for Continuous Production Roll-format tape design allows the next roll to be prepared before the current roll is exhausted. Material change can be completed without stopping the pick-and-place machine, utilizing time windows when the machine is placing other components. Line OEE is not interrupted by the labeling process, enabling 24/7 continuous operation.
5. Reduced Labor Costs and Elimination of Human Error One feeder replaces 1–2 dedicated operators per shift, generating significant annual labor cost savings. Simultaneously eliminates human errors caused by fatigue, visual acuity differences, and experience gaps—such as positional deviation, missed placement, and double placement. Batch consistency is guaranteed by the equipment, with full quality traceability.
Label Characteristics
The high-temperature masking tape labels supplied by the feeder are specifically designed for reflow and wave soldering processes:
- Temperature resistance from 150℃ to 260℃, remaining stable without melting, curling, or detachment during reflow and wave soldering cycles
- Applied to unused pads, connector pins, and precision components to block solder paste and flux splatter contamination
- Can be completely peeled off after processing with no adhesive residue on the PCB surface, eliminating additional cleaning steps
