SL automatic self‐loading 8mm feeder provides splice‐free continuous operation. Permits addition of a secondary reel supply in the same feeder at any time during operation, reducing or eliminating unnecessary material costs. Accepts strip‐tapes. Reportedly can be loaded in 10 sec. or less. Uses a new cover tape process that mitigates release of dust and debris inside the placement system. Is backwards compatible with entire line of Hitachi modular mounters back to the GXH‐1.
