When producing test panels or running production for very small lots, production sometimes uses parts packaged in tape that is cut in a shorter length ("shorter tape") for providing only the necessary amount of parts. This type of tape supply cannot be automated using usual tape feeders designed for mass production, so extra work such as repacking parts is required at the production floor.

In response to supporting such production, Fuji has developed part supply solutions using feeders and tray feeders for automating part supply using shorter tape.

1. Possible to supply every part within a short length of tape.

2. A dedicated supply unit is not necessary.
　
 (1) Feeder type (supply for a single part type)
  · Involves using Fuji intelligent feeders for standard tape part supply with a special type of tape guide.
  · Requires no modifications on the machine.

 (2) Tray feeder type (supply for multiple part types)
  · Supplies strips of tape on the tray in combination with different part types.
