SMT Strip Feeder V3

I have designed a third SMT tape holder for PnP applications, addressing the problems I've encountered so far. To make replacing tapes simple and non-disruptive, they should slide out easily without touching components. The top of the tape must be level with the PCB surface, regardless of component height, to prevent interference. Glueless construction is essential; any adhesive that comes loose will compromise the holder's integrity. An "off" pick should not disturb surrounding components, ensuring safe and smooth operation. New tapes should align easily with the existing holder, minimizing setup time and hassle. To enhance visibility and reliability, it's crucial to be able to change the colors behind the tapes.
