Designed to insulate round or flat conductors by applying
Kapton© tape
and bonding by heat applied by induction
and radiant ovens.

▼ Complete range - torque and dancer control available.
▼ Sets of hardened steel rollers and powered brushes ensure that the conductor is perfectly straight and clean prior to applying the Kapton©.
▼ Horizontal taping bay fitted with a twin servo concentric taping head.
▼ Up to 5000N pull.
▼ Servo drive, synchronised to tape head
speed.
▼ Pneumatically controlled belt pressure.
▼ Rapid heating of conductor to approx. 320°C to aid adhesion of Kapton©.
▼ Fully automated - retracts when line stops to prevent burning of Kapton©.
▼ Re-circulated chilled water conductor system. Air wipe attached for conductor drying.
▼ High frequency spark tester with bead chain for finished product quality control.
▼ Full communication and control between all line elements including ancillary equipment.
▼ Servo driven drum carriage for control of conductor layering. Dancer controlled variable torque geared motor, combined with ultrasonic sensors ensures precise conductor tension throughout the winding process.
