content: Thanks. I'll have a deeper dive. It doe'stn seem that common with the distribution I use.. There would be some parts i'd love to run much bigger reels on. ( 100nF, 1nF ) by pass caps, so i'm not having to swap them out nearly so often.

content: I have a 10k reel ofMurata 0603 100nF capsfromMouser. It came on a 330mm reel (~13 inches). I just looked it up, price has gone up by more than 50% since I bought it

content: @StynoAt least your Optimat will be able to handle that reel. If you have the required 13" separator, that is.

content: I don't think we have those ordered (yet). It'll probably be wise to have a few of those as well...

content: Yes, my Philips CSM84 has a mixture of 7" and 14" feeders, and definitely some 8mm tape feeders handle 14" reels. Essentially all of the larger feeders handle 14".Jon

content: Any feeder type that has a disconnect between the feeder mechanics and whatever holds the reel will have no issue, so Europlacer, MyData, Essemtec CLM, TWS & Dima for starters. I've seen shots of lines where large reels are mounted on holders on the floor, perhaps because the feeders can't handle them as standard.If you get reels like this because you would be emptying smaller ones really quickly, I would think it would be a very nice thing to have feeders with a tape cutter, that's 40Metres of empty tape going wherever it goes on your machine. Also advantageous to not have a takeoff reel, that's where the issue would lie on my Essemtec machine- that much cover tape in one go would almost certainly affect the pull off tension/feeder function if it was left to fill up the spool. I hand't encountered them until quite recently when the shortage of 0.1uF 0805 50V meant that was the only reel we could source at one point.
