JT-M-006 초고정밀 평판 캐리어 테이프 성형기
High-Stability Forming System with Guide-Pin/Bushing Design for Superior Precision
Introduction
The JT-M-006 Ultra-High-Precision Flat-Plate Carrier Tape Forming Machine is engineered for manufacturers who demand the highest levels of dimensional stability and forming precision available in flat-plate carrier tape production. This model introduces guide-pin and bushing (guide post and guide bush) design on the heating, forming, and punching modules—significantly enhancing the straight-line motion stability and flatness of critical forming operations.
In carrier tape production, dimensional consistency directly impacts SMT placement efficiency and component protection. The JT-M-006 addresses this requirement through precision engineering that delivers ±0.002mm feeding repeat accuracy coupled with enhanced mechanical stability—ensuring that every pocket is formed to exact specifications across the full production run.
Typical applications include:
- Ultra-high-precision semiconductor packaging — Critical IC components requiring the highest dimensional stability
- Wide-format carrier tape production — Supporting tape widths from 12mm to 120mm with partial 8mm 1-to-2 capability
- Deep-cavity component packaging — Capable of forming pockets up to 25mm depth
- High-volume, high-stability production — Production speeds of 200–380 meters/hour with consistent quality
- Applications requiring documented process stability — CPK analysis and process capability documentation
What Makes the JT-M-006 Unique
The JT-M-006’s defining feature is its guide-pin and bushing (guide post and guide bush) design on the heating, forming, and punching modules. This precision guidance system ensures:
- Superior flatness — The upper and lower modules remain perfectly parallel during operation
- Enhanced stability — Straight-line motion is maintained under all operating conditions
- Reduced wear — Precision guide pins and bushings minimize lateral movement that causes uneven wear
| Feature | JT-M-005 | JT-M-006 (Ultra-Stability) |
|---|---|---|
| Module Guidance | Standard linear guides | Guide-pin + bushing on heating/forming/punching modules |
| Feeding Technology | Magnetic levitation linear motor | Magnetic levitation linear motor |
| Feeding Repeat Accuracy | ±0.002mm | ±0.002mm |
| Production Speed | 200–380 M | 200–380 M |
| Module Surface Finish | Full steel with chrome plating | Full steel with chrome plating |
The guide-pin/bushing design is a precision engineering approach commonly found in high-end forming equipment. Unlike standard linear guides that allow slight lateral movement, guide pins and bushings constrain motion to a single axis—ensuring that the upper and lower modules close with perfect alignment every cycle.
Important note: This design achieves superior flatness and stability but places high precision requirements on the molds themselves. The benefits of the guide-pin/bushing system are fully realized only when paired with high-precision tooling.

Precision Engineering for Maximum Stability
1. Guide-Pin and Bushing Module Design
The defining feature of the JT-M-006 is its precision module guidance system:
How It Works:
Guide pins (precision-ground cylindrical shafts) and bushings (precision-ground sleeves) are installed on the heating, forming, and punching modules. As the modules close during each production cycle, the pins engage with the bushings—ensuring that the upper and lower modules maintain perfect alignment.
Benefits of the Guide-Pin/Bushing System:
| Benefit | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Superior flatness | Modules remain perfectly parallel throughout the entire stroke |
| Enhanced stability | Straight-line motion is guaranteed with minimal lateral deviation |
| Reduced wear | Precise guidance prevents uneven loading on guides and bearings |
| Consistent quality | Every cycle delivers identical forming pressure and alignment |
| Long-term precision | Wear is distributed evenly, maintaining accuracy over time |
Design Considerations:
The guide-pin/bushing approach is commonly used in high-precision forming applications where dimensional consistency is critical. This design provides:
- Better flatness compared to standard guide systems
- Superior stability for long production runs
- Higher precision requirements for the molds themselves
This means that the JT-M-006 is optimized for manufacturers who use high-precision tooling and require the maximum stability that flat-plate forming can provide.
2. Magnetic Levitation Linear Motor Feeding System
The JT-M-006 features advanced magnetic levitation technology:
- ±0.002mm repeat accuracy — A 10× improvement over conventional servo-driven systems
- Contactless operation — No mechanical wear, no backlash, no friction
- Digital stroke adjustment — Operator inputs stroke length directly through the HMI
- High-speed capability — Supports production speeds of up to 380 meters/hour
3. Precision Servo-Controlled Punching System
The punching system features a Panasonic 750W servo motor paired with a CRK-80 electric cylinder:
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Servo-controlled speed | Punching speed adjustable through HMI |
| Digital depth control | Punching depth set via touchscreen |
| ±0.01mm repeat accuracy | Consistent hole quality across all production runs |
| Fast setup | Parameters changed in seconds, not minutes |
The punching module also features a pulley positioning or punch correction device that ensures edge holes remain consistently accurate throughout the production run.
4. Track Stabilization System
The cylinder pusher system on the track ensures the tape remains stable during heating and forming:
- Purpose: Eliminates tape movement during critical forming phases
- Benefit: Guarantees the stability of the F value—a critical dimension for SMT compatibility
- Mechanism: Cylinder pusher provides consistent pressure without operator intervention
5. High-Precision Optical Digital Readout
Both the forming and punching modules are equipped with a high-precision optical digital readout system with ±0.005mm accuracy:
- Real-time visual feedback — Operators see displacement values when adjusting P2 and F values
- One-step positioning — Eliminates trial-and-error adjustments
