HAG-100 / HAF-100 Hand Tape Applicator

Simple, Accurate Edge Tape Application — Wherever You Need It

The HAG-100 and HAF-100 hand tape applicators are designed to accurately apply high bond and VHB tape along the edge of a product with a controlled, manual process. Built for flexibility, these tools allow operators to guide tape directly onto glass panels, frames, and other surfaces where precision and accessibility matter.

Overview

Controlled Application Without Complex Equipment

These hand applicators provide a straightforward way to apply tape consistently without the need for automated systems. Using an integrated guide, operators can align tape precisely along product edges while maintaining full control of placement.

Once applied, the tape is manually cut—keeping the process simple, adaptable, and easy to integrate into a variety of workflows

Accuracy Where It Matters Most

Edge alignment is critical in many bonding applications. The HAG-100 and HAF-100 support this through:

  • Guided edge referencing for consistent tape placement
  • Manual control that allows operators to adjust to part variation
  • Smooth tape dispensing for clean, even application

This approach gives operators the precision needed for detailed work without adding unnecessary complexity.

Built for Real-World Application Challenges

The HAG-100 and HAF-100 are designed to handle a range of product geometries and access conditions:

  • HAG-100: Applies tape directly to glass or flat panel surfaces
  • HAF-100: Designed for glazing frames where a metal lip or obstruction is present

These applicators are especially useful in situations where space constraints or part geometry make automated systems impractical. Their portability and simplicity make them easy to use across multiple workstations or applications.

Simple, Adaptable Setup

Each unit comes with a standard applying roller and guide, with multiple size options available to match tape width requirements. This allows teams to configure the applicator for different products while maintaining consistent performance.
