Method for fabricating carrier tape

摘要

A method for fabricating a carrier tape having a row of pockets, including forming carrier tape sections by injection molding so that each of the carrier tape sections has at least one pocket for accommodating an article therein, and joining the carrier tape sections in the form of a tape. The first carrier tape section is first injection molded, and the second carrier tape section is then injection molded such that one side of the first carrier tape section is in contact with one side of the second carrier tape section. A further carrier tape section is then injection molded such that one side of the second carrier tape section is in contact with a side of the further carrier tape section, whereby the carrier tape sections are successively joined together.
