In SMT production, the efficiency and reliability of the splicing process directly affect the continuity of the entire production line. As the diversity of materials and carrier tape specifications continues to increase, the compatibility of splicing equipment has become a crucial factor in equipment selection. The “maximum pocket depth of 9mm” supported by Youngpool Technology's L-900 Automatic Splicing Machine is a key reflection of its advanced compatibility design.

The term “pocket depth” refers to the depth of the cavity in the carrier tape that holds the component. In real production scenarios, the height of components varies greatly—from ultra-thin passive devices such as resistors and capacitors to thicker ICs, inductors, or connectors. If a splicing machine cannot accommodate deeper pockets, issues such as component compression, misrecognition, or rejection may occur, ultimately affecting splicing quality and the smooth feeding of materials into the placement machine.

The L-900's support for pocket depths up to 9mm enables it to handle nearly all standard and certain specialized SMT components with ease. This design not only broadens the range of compatible materials but also provides sufficient mechanical clearance during the splicing process. It ensures that the carrier tape remains flat and tension is evenly distributed when applying the splicing film—resulting in a joint tensile strength of up to 5 kg and full 360° torsion resistance.

Moreover, the support for deeper pockets reduces the need for frequent equipment adjustments and minimizes splicing failure rates caused by component height variations. In conjunction with its intelligent vision system and automatic empty-pocket detection function, the L-900 Automatic Splicing Machine enables fast and precise transitions between tapes of varying pocket depths. The machine maintains a stable on-machine pass-through rate above 98%, effectively minimizing production downtime caused by splicing issues.

In essence, the 9mm pocket depth support is not an isolated specification—it embodies the L-900's overall excellence in compatibility and stability. It reflects the system's comprehensive engineering design across mechanical structure, visual alignment, and material adaptability, providing SMT workshops with yet another layer of assurance for continuous, high-efficiency production.
