SD-629 L-Clip & C-Clip Tape Applicator

The SD-629 Tape Applicator is designed to apply pressure-sensitive tape in an L-clip or continuous C-clip configuration to the leading and/or trailing edges of boxes as they move through production.

Using 2-inch (50.8mm) wide pressure-sensitive tape with 1” (25mm) X 1” (25mm) minimum legs up to 3” (76mm)  × up to 3” (76mm)(44mmm) legs, the system reinforces box corners at speeds of up to 45 feet per minute (14mpm) for L-clips and up to 60 feet per minute (18mpm) for continuous C-clip applications. Tape can be applied to the top or bottom corners of the product, depending on process requirements.

Overview

Corner Reinforcement Made Automatic

The SD-629 system is engineered to provide consistent corner reinforcement for cartons and boxes in continuous production environments. As products advance through the machine, the applicator applies tape precisely to the designated edges—improving package integrity and durability.

Machine controls signal whether tape should be applied to the leading edge, trailing edge, or continuously in a C-clip configuration, allowing integration into automated conveying systems and coordinated line operation.

Reliable Reinforcement at Line Speed

By automating the L-clip and C-clip application process, the 629 reduces manual taping while delivering repeatable placement at production speeds.

Operators benefit from consistent results and simplified setup, while packaging operations gain improved box strength without sacrificing throughput.

One Applicator — Multiple Configurations

The SD-629 Tape Applicator is designed to support a range of reinforcement needs, including:

  • L-clip application to leading and/or trailing edges
  • Continuous C-clip application through the machine
  • Top or bottom corner taping
  • Single-head or multi-head configurations for simultaneous application

Complete conveyor systems are available to automatically convey the product, apply the L- or C-clip tape, and discharge the product in-line. A controller is required to run the system.

The SD-629 system can be configured as a standalone applicator or as part of a complete taping system, including:

  • Compact, easily mounted design
    Integrates readily into parent frames or packaging lines
  • Multiple applicator heads
    Apply one or more L- or C-clips simultaneously
  • Top and bottom edge application
    Supports corner reinforcement on multiple product orientations
  • Complete L-clip or C-clip taping systems
    Available with conveyors and in-line integration

Straub Design engineers work closely with customers to ensure the 175 system is configured correctly for box size, tape type, and line speed.
