For a versatile and cost effective solution, the STT Squirrel turn taping machine offers a simple solution to dramatically reduce the overall coil manufacturing time.

By introducing the STT between the gathering box and loop winding machine, groups of conductors can be quickly and accurately taped together with minimal disruption to the winding process.

Freely suspended

▼ The squirrel taping machine is freely suspended on a tool balancer from its own gantry.

Variable lap

▼ Variable tape pitch is achieved by setting the rotational speed and linear speed accordingly.

Servo drives

▼ The machine is driven by twin caterpillar belts, powered by two synchronised servo motors.

Gantry sizes

▼ Gantries are sized and manufactured to match exact requirements.

Traction control

▼ To ensure consistent adhesion to the conductor, the machine is fitted with a pneumatic traction control system.

Twin tape applicators

▼ Electrically driven taping machine combining a rotating taping head fitted with a pair of tape applicators.

Tape tension

▼ Settings are variable and easily adjusted by the operator if required.

Operator control pedestal

▼ Operation is via a control panel mounted on a pedestal. Rotational and linear speeds are adjusted via potentiometers.
