Why an Automatic Tape Cutter

Manual scrap tape cutting is bleeding your SMT line

Hand-cutting waste tape with scissors is slow, unsafe, and creates SMT pickup faults. The S-680A turns this dirty, repetitive task into a hands-off process โ€” running quietly next to every SMT mounter that needs it.

Pain

Operators stand at the line cutting tape with scissors

โ†’ With S-680A

Auto-feed + auto-cut with bidirectional gear positioning. Free 1 operator per 2-3 lines for higher-value tasks.

Pain

Loose scrap tape jams feeders & pickup heads

โ†’ With S-680A

Cut pieces drop directly into a sealed ESD-safe collection bin โ€” no more tape blow-back into the line.

Pain

Tier-1 customer audits flag a messy SMT floor

โ†’ With S-680A

Centralized, enclosed scrap collection that visibly upgrades your 5S score and pass-rate on big-brand audits.

Pain

Workplace safety risk from open scissor work

โ†’ With S-680A

Enclosed blade unit, emergency stop, auto jam-reverse alarm, ESD-safe waste box โ€” designed for safe operator interaction.

Pain

Conventional cutters jam on glue, foil & embossed tapes

โ†’ With S-680A

Hard high-speed steel blades on a scissor-action principle โ€” paper tape 8-32 mm and embossed plastic, 0.05-1.5 mm thick.

Pain

OEM cutters cost too much and ship parts slowly

โ†’ With S-680A

Shenzhen-built, sales-direct pricing, 1-day spare-parts dispatch, free installation & training, worldwide service.

Engineered for Production

Key Features & Engineered Advantages

Every detail of the S-680A is tuned for one goal: keep cutting reliably, shift after shift, on every SMT mounter on your floor.

โš™

Fully Automatic Cutting

Microcomputer + motor-driven inlet runs continuously. Auto-stop when the bin is full or removed.

๐Ÿ“

Adjustable Length & Cycle

3 preset cutting zones (combinable into 6 lengths, ~5-150 mm) and Short / Medium / Long pause times.

๐Ÿ—ก

4ร— Longer Blade Lifespan

Vertical hard high-speed-steel blades cut on a scissor principle โ€” far less downtime for blade swaps.

๐Ÿ›ก

ESD-Safe Collection Bin

Anti-static, wear-resistant collection box. Slide it out, empty, slide it back โ€” machine auto-resumes.

๐Ÿ”

Auto Jam Recovery

If it jams, the machine reverses and retries; if not cleared, it stops with a buzzer for safe operator action.

๐Ÿ”Œ

Plug-and-Play 220 V

Single-phase 220 VAC, only 100 W. Compact 900 ร— 220 ร— 400 mm footprint, 4 braked casters for easy moves.

๐Ÿ”‡

Quiet, Clean Operation

Less than 70 dB noise. Sealed waste path keeps debris off the floor and out of pickup zones.

๐Ÿค

Universal Brand Compatibility

Works alongside Yamaha, FUJI, JUKI, Samsung, Panasonic and Universal SMT lines that need scrap tape cut.

๐ŸŒ

Worldwide After-Sales

Free installation & training, 1-day lead time on spare parts, online support from Shenzhen engineers.

Operational Impact

What changes on your SMT floor

Real, measurable improvements EMS managers care about โ€” not marketing fluff.

โˆ’1

Operator per 2-3 lines

Reassign the scissor-cutting headcount to higher-value setup, QC, or feeder prep tasks.

โ†“ Stops

Fewer pickup faults

Sealed scrap collection eliminates loose tape that fouls feeders and SMT pickup heads.

5S โ†‘

Audit-ready cleanliness

A visibly cleaner SMT floor โ€” easier wins on Tier-1 EMS and OEM customer audits.

Buyer FAQ

What EMS engineers usually ask

Direct answers from our datasheet and operating manual. Need something more specific? Reply to this page or email jasonwu@smthelp.com.

Which tapes can the S-680A cut?
Paper carrier tape 8 โ€“ 32 mm wide and embossed plastic tape, in thicknesses from 0.05 to 1.5 mm. Very thin vinyl tape is not recommended โ€” send us a sample for free trial cutting before ordering.
How is cutting length adjusted?
Three preset cutting zones can be selected individually or combined to give 6 effective length settings in roughly the 5 โ€“ 150 mm range. Power off โ†’ on โ†’ press [SET] โ†’ use โ†‘/โ†“ to choose zone(s) โ†’ press [ON] at AUTO to resume.
What happens if the machine jams?
The machine attempts an auto-reverse to clear the jam. If unsuccessful it stops and sounds a buzzer. The operator hits Emergency Stop, jogs the blade away from the jam with the directional buttons, clears the material manually, and resumes AUTO.
Does it work with my Yamaha / FUJI / JUKI / Universal mounter?
Yes โ€” the S-680A is brand-agnostic. It sits next to the mounter and cuts the scrap tape coming off the back. There is no electrical or PLC integration with the mounter required.
What is the typical ROI / payback?
In most labor markets, paying back the machine in under 6 months from labor savings alone is realistic. Actual ROI depends on local wage, the number of SMT lines it services, and shift count. We can build a transparent ROI model with your numbers โ€” request it via the quote form.
What maintenance does it need?
Empty the trash bin as required, replace the blade as required, check the helical gear every 3 months, lubricate the LM shaft as required, and check the belt tension monthly (adjust as required). The operating manual includes step-by-step procedures and part numbers.
What's the warranty & lead time?
12-month warranty from purchase date for non-human-error issues. Lead time depends on order size and stock โ€” confirmed in writing on the formal quotation. Spare parts dispatched in 1 working day from Shenzhen.
