Abstract
Double-sided adhesive tabs are removed from a carrier tape by passing the carrier tape around a convex nose to peel the carrier tape away from each tab. A tab inserter arm contacts the tab prior to peeling away of the carrier tape. The tab inserter arm then moves with and supports the tab during and after peeling away of the carrier tape.
