KST-UT80
Automatic Tube to Tape Machine
The KST-UT80 is a fully automated system engineered for the seamless transition of ICs from tubes to carrier tapes. The core workflow automates tube loading and precision placement into the tape, integrated with an optional laser marking module that enables high-accuracy marking prior to taping. This ensures a high-speed, highly stable tape-and-reel solution for high-volume production.

Ideal for electronics manufacturers and packaging facilities requiring stable and repeatable tube-to-tape transfer:
- OSAT and semiconductor test facilities
- EMS and PCB-A manufacturing plants
- R&D laboratories and pilot production lines
- Automotive, medical, and other regulated electronics applications
Efficient Tube-to-Tape Automation: Automates the complete tube-to-tape process, reducing manual intervention and improving overall production efficiency in IC tape and reel packaging lines.
Wide Package Compatibility: Supports tube-packed IC devices in SOP, TSSOP, MSOP, and similar package types, making it suitable for mixed-product production.
High-Capacity Tube Feeding System: Equipped with a tube stacking magazine and automatic tube feeding, pushing, and inversion mechanisms. More than 40 tubes can be loaded at once, enabling continuous operation and minimizing downtime.
Gentle IC Handling Design: The gravity-fed rail transport system minimizes mechanical stress, protecting sensitive IC devices during transfer and ensuring high packaging yield.
Flexible Taping Parameters: Allows programmable lead and trailing empty pockets, precise taping count control, adjustable carrier tape width, and independent sealing temperature and pressure settings for optimal tape & reel quality.
Intuitive HMI Operation: An industrial touchscreen HMI provides a user-friendly interface with clear parameter settings, fast changeover, and a short operator learning curve.
Customizable Marking Integration: As an optional feature, the marking module offers tailored configurations to suit varied operational demands, ensuring a more versatile and cost-effective equipment investment.
