PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a splicing device in which the cutting point of a component tape can be set automatically, and the splicing work can be automated entirely, and to provide a tape feeding method in the splicing device.SOLUTION: When advancing two component tapes 2, cut by cutting means 48 on a component tape travel path 11, in the direction approaching each other and the ends thereof are abutted, a component sensor 22 detects presence or absence of a component P in the component housing section 2a of the component tape 2, while performing pitch feeding of the component tape 2 by engaging the outer peripheral pin 12a of a sprocket 12 with the feed hole 2b of the component tape 2 on the component tape travel path 11, and a feed hole sensor 23 detects presence or absence of the feed hole 2b of the component tape 2. Cut portion of each component tape 2 is then set based on the detection information, and the sprocket 12 is driven so that the cut portion thus set is located at the cut position of the component tape 2 by the cutting means 48. |
