Arrow provides reliable, fast, and flexible tape and reeling services that support a wide variety of surface-mount, radial, and axial components.
Like our programming services team, Arrow's tape and reel team is dedicated to delivering consistent product quality, competitive pricing, and reliable on-time delivery.
Tape and reel services are offered as a complement to our programming services or on a stand-alone basis.
Either way, Arrow's investment in state-of-the-art equipment provides taping for all tube and tray products. Automated systems and the use of standardized quality procedures throughout our network of programming centers provide the highest levels of quality control with minimum handling.
We have 3D and 2D inspection capabilities for lead integrity, part orientation, and mark verification. Pin 1 orientation and mark verification inspections are standard on all orders.
Our standard turnaround for tape and reel services is 48 hours but we recognize that urgent, short-term requirements often develop. For this reason, we've also made 24- hour tape and reeling expedites available upon request.
We've already made the investments in equipment, infrastructure, and people. Why should you?
With 30 years of experience, a proven reliability record, and direct manufacturer relationships for both components and equipment, we know how to meet your tape and reeling needs.
Contact us today to learn how we can reduce your costs, simplify your supply chain, and improve your programming and taping cycle time.
Arrow's tape and reeling operations around the globe support the following package types.
Please contact us today to learn how we can reduce your total costs, simplify your supply chain, and improve your IC programming / tape & reel cycle time.
We understand your need for consistent product quality.
Our Global Programming Centers provide the "industrial strength" processes, sophisticated redundant systems, and state-of-the-art equipment necessary to deliver reliably to your requirements.
All programming centers are ISO 9001:2000 certified and comply with the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) JESD 625 standard. Our facilities are also ISO/TS 16949 compliant.
Our tape and reel facilities also follow the EIA-481, EIA-468 and EIA-296 standards.
As pin counts and chip densities continue to rise, lead alignment and co-planarity become increasingly critical.
Our investment in both integrated and standalone vision inspection systems ensures that the proper mechanical integrity, label, and device orientation are maintained throughout the production process.
Once you approve the first article device or its chipless equivalent, our state-of-the-art systems handle the rest. We load your specific program and unique instructions—from marking preferences and correct revision to programming and serialization requirements—into our JobControl software.
JobControl communicates with our programming equipment to automatically configure Arrow’s machinery with your unique instructions. This ensures that your specific requirements will be satisfied reliably, time after time.
Additionally, as part of our overall quality control solution, your JobControl parameters, including first article detail, become part of our Central Data Library.
Each of our Global Programming Centers is electronically linked to this library so we can quickly, accurately, and consistently meet your unique programming specifications, anywhere in the world.
From the initial first article configuration to final shipment of the product, we maintain the highest levels of quality throughout the programming process.
Our Shop Floor Control System helps stage production in the most efficient manner, utilizing time standards, traveler documentation, and capacity planning.
Our approach leverages bar code and scanner technology to provide electronic order tracking throughout the production process. It even monitors usage on our programming equipment. These aid in our preventative maintenance program and help maintain the highest- quality output on a consistent basis.
Coupled with our lean manufacturing initiatives and Kaizen methodology, our Shop Floor Control system produces optimum turnaround time for order processing. It allows us to dynamically balance demand across the globe.
Arrow completes its total programming solution by investing in the latest advanced equipment offered by the world’s leading manufacturers. Working jointly with our equipment partners in proprietary co-development, we continually update our Global Centers to enable the industry’s highest processing speeds and fastest cycle times.
Our high level of investment assures our customers that they need not make these capital outlays; Arrow can provide leading-edge solutions for your programming needs now and in the future.
