Preface 61685113.fm i
Preface
This User’s Guide describes how to setup and operate the TM-50 Taping Machine. This manual
should be read and thoroughly understood before operating the machine.
The TM-50 Taping Machine is built with the following standard features.
Features:
• Adjustable track assembly for tape widths 8mm to 56mm
• Independently controlled seal temperature for each side of the cover tape
• Dual stage fully adjustable Heat and PSA sealer assembly
• User-friendly software assures ease of setup and operation
• Sensor package including low cover tape sensor, carrier tape motion sensor, empty
pocket sensor and jam-in-track sensor
• Software controlled advance movement of carrier tape (2mm to 24mm pitch)
• Current operating parameters and count are saved at power down and restored at
power up
Options include:
• Low carrier tape and pocket position sensor
• Controller location
• Feed and take-up reel positions
• Loading track length
• Mounting options
• Machine footprint
• Customized software and communication
Theory of Operation
The OEM TM-50 routes carrier tape from a feed reel through an adjustable track for manual
placement of parts or electrical components. Once the operator has filled all of the carrier tape
pockets in the loading area with parts, a foot pedal is used to advance the tape to a sealer
assembly.
If the OEM TM-50 was purchased with the optional Extended Software Package, a sensor
detects jams in tape, empty pockets and low cover tape supply as the tape advances.
Once the carrier tape reaches the OEM TM-50 sealer assembly, a cover tape is applied. The part
is then sealed in the pocket with either a Heat Seal or Pressure Sensitive Application (PSA).
When the sealing process is complete, the finished tape is routed onto a take-up reel.

Intended Use 61685113.fm iii
Intended Use
The intended use of the TM-50 Taping Machine is to produce taped reels of individually sealed
and consistently orientated components. It is designed to accommodate a full range of electronic
devices. Use of this equipment in any other way is not recommended.
Suitable carrier and sealing tapes include any conductive or non-conductive tapes with feed-
holes that are pitched at 4 mm. Tapes must operate in a temperature range from 135-155° Cel-
sius with a pressure range from 40-60 psi and dwell time between 250-400 milliseconds. The
OEM TM-50 can accommodate tape widths from 8mm to 56mm.
Tape advance speed is set on the machine’s controller and can be set at any speed from 5-250
random units. Feed rates can vary from 500 to 5000 units per hour dependent on component
size of integrated input.
Operating Environment
The OEM TM-50 is designed to be operated in a temperature controlled, light, industrial setting.
The machine should be installed on a flat, dry, stable surface in a well lit area (ambient lighting of
200 to 300 Lux (Lumens/m2).
The recommended climate is between 5 - 90% non-condensing humidity with a room tempera-
ture between 0 - 50 degrees Celsius.
Note: Although all of the components used on the machine will withstand the temperature
range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius, such temperature may decrease the life of some of the
components.
The intended electrical environment is Pollution Degree 2 and Over Voltage Category II.
Misuse
The OEM TM-50 tape advance should not be activated when parts are being placed in tape,
when tape reels are being loaded or replaced, or when jams in tape are being cleared. Although
the torque on the Stepper Motor has been limited to reduce the risk of injury, advancing the tape
during these tasks may result in pinching or entrapment of fingers.
The user is protected from moving parts and exposure to objects being ejected under pressure
by metal enclosures. The OEM TM-50 should never be operated with these enclosures removed.
The user is protected from the OEM TM-50’s heat sealer by a metal guards. Operators are cau-
tioned not to touch the heat seal guard or to try to reach underneath the guard while the OEM
TM-50 is in operation.

Preparing the Work Area 61685225.fm
Preparing the Work Area
The OEM TM-50 is a table-top machine which needs to be mounted on a flat, stable surface in a
well lit area that is a minimum of 6’ high x 10’ wide x 5‘deep (2m x 3m x 1.5m). When positioning
the OEM TM-50, choose an area that is not located below overhead gantries, walkways or power
lines to ensure objects or liquids cannot be dropped on the machine from overhead.
The OEM TM-50 will also require access to a 85-110 PSI air pressure system and a 115/230
VAC, 50-60 Hz power supply. Locate the machine so electrical power cables can be routed away
from areas where personnel are expected to move. It is recommended that cables be routed
overhead or underground. If cables must be routed over the floor, cover them with rubber ramps.
Choose a mounting area that is at least 72” wide by 30” deep to provide sufficient space for the
assembled machine when it is fully loaded with a variety of tape reel sizes.
The mounting surface should have a slope of no more than 5 degrees and be capable of support-
ing a load of 65 pounds (30 kg).
