P/N 00141397 is the 72mm SIPLACE X Smart feeder configuration with Splice Sensor. The sensor is used to recognize the splice point in joined carrier tape, making splice detection part of this feeder's configuration rather than a general positioning upgrade.
This matters when the production setup already relies on Splice Sensor feeders or when joined reels must continue through the established splice-detection process. If splice detection becomes unreliable, first check the tape joint and splice rivet, reel and tape alignment, and feeder setup before treating the complete feeder as faulty.
If the current line does not use the Splice Sensor configuration, do not choose 00141397 simply because it appears to be a more advanced 72mm feeder. The correct choice should follow the existing process requirement; the 00141377 72mm X Smart feeder is the corresponding configuration without Splice Sensor.

| Part Number | 00141397 |
|---|---|
| Feeder Type | SIPLACE X Smart tape feeder |
| Assembly Level | Complete feeder |

Choose this configuration when the existing feeder is 00141397 or the production setup specifically requires Splice Sensor functionality. If a splice-related problem appears, confirm the tape joint and sensor requirement before replacing the feeder; an ordinary pickup problem alone does not prove that the sensor-equipped feeder has failed.
For quotation, provide the complete feeder P/N and suffix, machine model, tape pitch, confirmation that splice detection is required, photos of the feeder and current label, and any splice-related alarm or operating symptom available. This allows the sensor requirement to be confirmed before the complete feeder is selected.
