Umbilical cable taping machine
World leading taping machinery to manufacture subsea umbilical cables for the toughest conditions.
Overview
The Umbilical Taping Machine is designed to apply a variety of tapes to an umbilical as it passes through the machine. The tape head rotates to produce a spiral wrap of tapes on to the umbilical to a pre-programmed configuration. Tape tensions are accurately controlled and maintained as the tape pads are used.
To manufacture a variety of umbilicals
Consistent and repeatable taping performance with active tension control
Tape package change without having to stop the line
Tape package change without hazard to the operator
Improved quality and production
