EVEN GREATER PRODUCTION
The taping head uses low or high resin tapes for OEM or repair coil shops. It applies tapes over the “in-slot” area and end legs of the coil or bar. In the case of a closed coil the length of covering is limited only by the clearance for head access. Especially useful on longer, heavier coils – the optional coil turnover unit enables both sides of a coil to be taped with speed and convenience.
Ridgway BCT-VLDM
Cost Effective Bench Mounted Taping Machine Improves Coil Manufacturing Productivity.
The Ridgway BCT suspended coil taping machine is also available in a convenient bench mounted configuration. This provides a self-contained and cost effective solution for improving the productivity and quality of manually operated coil taping lines. The BCT Bench machine is ideal for taping smaller and open coils and bars, for applications such as motor and generator stators. Two layers can be applied simultaneously and the BCT tapes in both directions.
The machine is pneumatically operated, by a series of pneumatic foot pedals that control the clamp facility, traverse direction and taping speed, at speeds up to 250 rpm with no electrical power required.
The Ridgway BCT-VLDM series is available in 2 sizes:

BCT COIL HANDLING EQUIPMENT
Coil Handling System with Suspended Taping Head Improves Manufacturing Productivity
Ridgway BCT hand-held taping machines are available with a range of gantry systems, particularly useful for taping larger or heavy coils. Designed as a complete workstation, the gantry enables the pneumatic BCT to be weightlessly suspended for ease of operation. In addition, a Coil Turnover Unit allows quick height setting and rotation of the coil to tape both sides. Productivity is increased and a consistently high quality tape application achieved.

Turn Taping Gantry
The unit is used as a suspension gantry to hold a ‘BCT’ taping machine or Squirrel Turn Taping machine to apply a variety of insulation tapes to a conductor prior to coil winding.
The taping machine is suspended from a linear rail mounted to the underneath of the gantry overhead beam.
The gantry should be positioned such that the taping machines can be used as close to the loop winding pins as possible without causing damage to either machine when the winding beam is rotated.
The Squirrel Turn Taping Machine can be used with the turn taping gantry. Controlled via an easy to use operator pedestal.
