Ridgway VTM
VERTICAL TAPING MACHINE
Designed to apply a large range of taping materials to conductors and cables.
Concentric bi-directional
tape heads
The VTM has two concentric servo driven tape heads which can accommodate flat or traverse wound tape packages. The motors have brakes to maintain continuous synchronisation and prevent inadvertent head rotation by the operator.
Constant tape tension
The heads are electronically linked through a dancer unit, which provides extremely accurate tape tension control throughout the taping process. The dancer detects tape breakage and instructs the machine to come to a rapid controlled stop.
Simple operation
The operator inputs taping parameters and the helix angle is displayed to enable tape head set up – a recipe memory is included in the control system to allow the operator to create, save and load taping recipes.
Ridgway refinements
▼ Photo electric low tape detectors bring
the line to a controlled halt when the tape pad is close to finishing.
▼ Conductor steadies with adjustable guide roller units hold the conductor or cable steady during the taping process.
▼ Strobe lights are fitted for 'freeze frame' views of the taping process.
▼ Control system allows communication with ancillary equipment.
▼ Other heads – such as tangential tape heads – are available.
Remote diagnostics
Simply plug the VTM into the internet and Ridgway engineers connect to the machine and diagnose problems very quickly.
