Strip feeder using aluminium LED profile

Hi,
I have just come up with one idea using custom hardware (aluminum LED profile) as a strip feeder for pick & place machines.
The idea is to insert the strip inside the grooves of the profile. This idea also lets you remove one strip/profile at a time when
replacing strips. You don't need to remove the whole strip tray which can cause components to fall out of their pockets.
After some searching, I have only found profiles that I believe will fit 12 mm tapes.
I will buy that one and test for 12 mm tape. One solution for other tape sizes could be to cut the profile into two halves on the long side,
and then place a strip as a guide and then glue the halves onto another thing.
If someone finds some sources for other profile sizes which may fit 8 mm, 16 mm and etc, please post here.
