PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a splicing device in which the cutting point of a component tape can be set automatically, and the splicing work can be automated entirely, and to provide a tape feeding method in the splicing device.SOLUTION: When advancing two component tapes 2, cut by cutting means 48 on a component tape travel path 11, in the direction approaching each other and the ends thereof are abutted, a component sensor 22 detects presence or absence of a component P in the component housing section 2a of the component tape 2, while performing pitch feeding of the component tape 2 by engaging the outer peripheral pin 12a of a sprocket 12 with the feed hole 2b of the component tape 2 on the component tape travel path 11, and a feed hole sensor 23 detects presence or absence of the feed hole 2b of the component tape 2. Cut portion of each component tape 2 is then set based on the detection information, and the sprocket 12 is driven so that the cut portion thus set is located at the cut position of the component tape 2 by the cutting means 48. 【課題】部品テープの切断箇所の設定を自動で行うことができ、スプライシング作業の全体を自動化することができるスプライシング装置及びスプライシング装置におけるテープ送り方法を提供する。【解決手段】部品テープ進行路１１上で切断手段４８により切断した２つの部品テープ２を互いに近づく方向に進行させてその端部同士を突き合せるにおいて、スプロケット１２の外周ピン１２ａを部品テープ進行路１１上の部品テープ２の送り孔２ｂに係合させて部品テープ２をピッチ送りしながら部品センサ２２によって部品テープ２の部品収納部２ａ内の部品Ｐの有無を検出するとともに、送り孔センサ２３によって部品テープ２の送り孔２ｂの有無を検出する。そして、これらの検出情報に基づいて各部品テープ２の切断箇所を設定し、その設定した切断箇所が切断手段４８による部品テープ２の切断位置に位置するようにスプロケット１２を駆動する。【選択図】図２
