JT-M-006 Slitting & Rewinding Machine

High-Performance Slitting and Rewinding for Carrier Tape Processing

---

Introduction

The JT-M-006 Slitting & Rewinding Machine is a specialized processing system engineered for carrier tape production lines and SMT material preparation operations. This machine combines precision slitting capability with stable rewinding functionality, serving as a critical link in the carrier tape manufacturing chain. According to industry technical literature, carrier tape starts as a plain thermoplastic sheet, and before it becomes the embossed component packaging used in SMT production, it must be slit into precise-width strips at a slitter rewinder—a step where the quality of the finished tape is decided .

The JT-M-006 addresses this requirement through precision engineering that delivers clean slitting edges, stable tension control throughout the winding process, and user-friendly operation. Its design is optimized for converting wide carrier tape reels into narrower finished rolls suitable for SMT production lines.

Typical applications include:

• Carrier tape slitting and rewinding — Converting wide reels into customer-specified widths
• Cover tape processing — Precision slitting and rewinding of cover tape materials
• SMT material preparation — Producing finished reels for automated assembly lines
• Quality assurance — Re-inspection and re-winding of carrier tape with tension control

Precision Engineering for Reliable Processing

1. Dual Stepper Motor Drive System

The JT-M-006 is equipped with an AIZHIKO dual stepper motor drive system that provides:

• Precise tension control — Independent motor control for consistent tape tension during processing
• Stable operation — Smooth, vibration-free performance for clean slitting results
• Digital speed adjustment — Speed parameters set through touchscreen interface

Industry research indicates that stable tension throughout the full reel length is essential for carrier tape slitting quality. Without stable tension, slit width can drift, causing pockets to go out of specification . The dual stepper motor system addresses this requirement directly.

2. Advanced Control System

The machine features a touchscreen HMI and PLC control system that provides intuitive operation:

• Tape width setting — Adjustable through HMI for different tape specifications
• Reel width configuration — Quick adjustment for different reel sizes
• Position delay settings — Configurable arrival delay and rewinding delay
• Overlap control — Front-to-back overlap adjustment for consistent winding
• Speed control — High/low speed and slitting delay settings
• Process monitoring — Real-time feedback on machine status

3. Precision Slitting System

The slitting system is equipped with high-quality components for clean, precise cuts:

Component	Specification
Blades	Tungsten steel (Yongchuang) for durability and sharpness
Bearings	NSK (Japan) for smooth rotation
Blade Shaft	Stainless steel for corrosion resistance

Industry data shows that carrier tape slitting is more demanding than general film slitting. Burr on the slit edge creates specific problems once the strip enters the embossing press: pocket contamination (burr fragments break off during forming and end up inside the component pocket), pocket geometry errors (edge deformation causes the strip to track unevenly through the forming station), and line stops (edge irregularities cause feed errors that stop the line) . The JT-M-006’s precision components address this challenge directly.

4. Stable Rewinding System

The rewinding system is engineered for consistent reel quality:

• Maximum rewind diameter — 640mm for large-capacity production
• Maximum reel width — 300mm to accommodate a wide range of customer specifications
• Rewind speed control — Adjustable through digital controller
• Tension management — Consistent tension prevents telescoping and uneven winding

The rewinding system can be configured with various operational parameters through the touchscreen interface, including:

• Positioning delay
• Rewinding delay
• Front-back overlap
• High/low speed settings
• Slitting delay

5. Automatic Masking Tape Application

The JT-M-006 includes an automatic masking tape cutting and application system:

• Auto cut and apply — The machine automatically cuts and applies masking tape to finished rolls
• Process integration — Eliminates manual tape application step
• Efficiency improvement — Reduces operator handling and speeds up packaging

6. High-Quality Component Selection

7. Digital Parameter Control

The JT-M-006 offers comprehensive digital control through its HMI:

• Tape width — Set directly on touchscreen
• Reel width — Configured through the interface
• Delay settings — Positioning and rewinding delays
• Overlap adjustment — Front-back overlap for optimal winding

Industry Standards and Quality Considerations

The JT-M-006 is designed to meet the quality requirements of carrier tape processing. According to industry literature, carrier tape producers check cut face quality under a microscope—not just at the start of the reel, but at the middle and end . The machine’s precision components and stable operation support this quality standard.

Key quality parameters for carrier tape slitting include:

• Burr-free edges — Clean cuts to prevent contamination
• Consistent slit width — No drift during processing
• Stable winding — No telescoping or uneven layers
• Proper tension — Prevents tape stretching or deformation

Operator-Friendly Design

The JT-M-006 is engineered for ease of use:

• Touchscreen HMI — Intuitive interface with clear parameter display
• Digital parameter control — All settings accessible through the interface
• Quick setup — Simple changeover between different tape widths
• Comprehensive control — Single interface for all operational parameters
