- EMS And SMT Assembly
SEWATE supplies anti-static IC tubes and carrier tape systems used in EMS and SMT assembly lines for transporting components from vendor to machine and feeding them into automated pick and place systems. The packaging is designed for fixed orientation, high speed loading and unloading, with profiles matched to common through-hole and SMT device packages including DIP, SOIC, SOJ, PLCC, LCC, SOP, SSOP, TSSOP, QFN, MLF, LPCC and TO series. Critical dimension control ensures reliable operation in high-speed feeders.
What Goes Wrong in EMS And SMT Assembly
Components arrive in random orientation and require manual sorting before placement
Tube or tape profile mismatch causes jams, shingling or piggy back in high speed feeders
Electrostatic discharge during transit damages sensitive devices before assembly
Unsealed or poorly sealed carrier tape leads to dust contamination and component rejection
Lack of repeatable tooling means different batches have inconsistent fit and feed performance
What EMS And SMT Assembly Buyers Need From Packaging
- Fixed orientation packaging that feeds directly into tube and tape feeders without manual intervention
- Critical dimension control within 5 mils on PVC and plus minus 2 mils on polycarbonate for consistent high speed loading
- Anti-static tubes and tapes that prevent ESD damage during transport and storage
- Sealed carrier tape with cover tape that peels cleanly at the feeder without residue
- Repeatable tooling across batches to maintain interchangeability and reduce setup time

- Feeding components from vendor to SMT line using anti-static tubes for larger or heavier parts
- Converting bulk components into carrier tape and reel for automated pick and place machines
- Using embossed or paper carrier tape with punched or un-punched holes to match feeder specifications
- Running high volume production with consistent tape and reel quality across multiple batches
- Re-packing returned or partially used reels with matching cover tape and end plugs for re-use
How a EMS And SMT Assembly Project Runs
- Provide device drawing, tube drawing or physical sample to match the profile
- Select material based on clarity, strength and tolerance: PVC, PS, PC, PETG or ABS
- Issue drawing for approval before tooling is cut to ensure fit and function
- Mould making and tooling trial followed by 20-50 free sample tubes for fit and feed testing
- Extrusion, cutting, anti-static treatment, plug fitting, cover tape sealing and carton packing
- Repeat orders run against approved tooling with 5-15 day lead time and consistent performance

Read GuideEMS And SMT Assembly Questions
Can you produce carrier tape for a new device profile?
Yes. If the profile is not in the current catalogue, a new tool is made from your drawing or physical sample.
What is the tolerance for high speed loading?
Within 5 mils on PVC and plus minus 2 mils on polycarbonate, suitable for fine pitch and high speed feeders.
Do you supply both tubes and carrier tape?
Yes. Tubes are used for larger or heavier components, carrier tape and reel for high volume SMT placement.
What materials are available?
PVC, PS, PC, PETG, and ABS, selected based on clarity, strength, and dimensional stability.
Do you meet environmental standards?
Yes. All products are RoHS compliant and meet the Sony environmental protection requirement. ISO14001 is the quality management system in place.
