A method of transferring component tape information to a component mounting machine, a tape guide for guiding a component tape in a component mounting machine, and a tape magazine for receiving the tape guide. The tape guide is arranged for quick and ready attachment and detachment into and from the component mounting machine. The loading and/or unloading of a component tape into and from the tape guide can be performed away from the component mounting machine. The ability to be releasably mounted is achieved by providing the tape guide with a lock that enables ready and quick attachment and detachment to an interacting lock in a component mounting machine, or in a tape magazine arranged for insertion into a component mounting machine, and a guide for guiding the component tape. The tape guide further includes an identifier for holding the identity of the tape guide, which can be associated with information relating to the component tape.
A tape guide for guiding a component tape in a component mounting machine, the component tape carrying components positioned in sequence and covered by a cover, the tape guide comprising first and second identification means holding information of the identity of the tape guide, said second identification means being arranged for connection to identity receiving means in a tape guide magazine arranged for insertion into the component mounting machine, locking means for enabling ready attachment and detachment of the tape guide to the tape guide magazine comprising component tape feeding means, and guiding means for guiding the component tape.
