Vertical Taping
Concentric Bi-Directional Taping Equipment
Concentric Bi-Directional Taping EquipmentOur vertical taping machines have integrated two concentric servo driven tape heads accommodating either flat or traverse packed tape pads. The servo direct drive motors have synchronous advanced brake systems to enable low tension for taping small size wires with very thin tapes of various materials, such as ePTFE, Mica and Kapton tapes.
Constant Tape Tension and Machine Control
Our in-house process-engineering group has developed advanced electronic systems that are ensuring precise and regulated tape tension. In addition a dancer system is installed on each of our vertical tapers, which will detect tape breaks and will instruct the machine to come to an instant stop. Installed in memory is a recipe product masters that is included in the control system to allow the operator to create, save and load taping recipes.
Photoelectric low tape detectors control the tape pad from running out of tape.
Minimized vibration through an in house designed guidance system holds the conductor during the taping process.
Strobe lights are installed on each of our vertical taping machines with ‘freeze frame’ views of the taping process.
Lorom Zero-Tension Taping Technology
State of the Art in-house built and designed Zero Tension equipment.
Over the last 5 years we have developed the most advanced taping technology that exist anywhere in the world. These horizontal taping machines are unique as the tape head and the tape pad are two separate mechanical systems, with advanced DC Drives and software controlling the systems independently of each other.
Advanced algorithms has been developed to coordinate the pay-off pad and the tape head ensuring unsurpassed performance in:
- Ultimate tension control, over conventional equipment
- Ultimate control tape angle
- Ultimate control of OD
- Unsurpassed line speed
- Unsurpassed tape head speed, 5000 RPM
- Elimination of breaks of thin and fragile tapes
- Elimination of any scalloping of edges of tape
Taping
Camera System
Our advanced camera technology installed on our high speed taping line captures each individual wrap frame by frame. A control loop then constantly adjusts the taping head to ensure accurate tape registration between layers and by using image acquisition software the output from camera system inputs into the taping machine control system and thereby allowing positional control of the taping process.
Example of stress crack caused by inadequate tension control taping equipment:
Example of scalloping foil edges caused by in accuracy of taping tension:
