SD-400 Dual Level-Wound Powered Unwind Stand

Precise, Controlled Unwinding for Dual-Lane Tape Applications

The SD-400 Dual Level-Wound Powered Unwind Stand is designed to unwind and deliver two lanes of tape simultaneously with controlled tension and consistent feed. It supports both pressure-sensitive and heat-activated acrylic foam tapes for demanding industrial applications.

Each tape roll is equipped with automatic liner rewind spindles, ensuring clean, continuous operation as tape is dispensed. Built for integration into automated lamination and application systems, the SD-400 provides dependable material handling where precision matters.

Overview

Dual-Lane Unwinding Made Reliable

The SD-400 is engineered to support continuous or intermittent tape lamination in applications that require stable, repeatable tape delivery from level-wound rolls. Its powered unwind design maintains consistent feed across both lanes, helping reduce tension variation and application inconsistency.

By managing both tape and liner handling automatically, the SD-400 helps streamline downstream processes and improve overall system reliability.

Why the SD-400 Dual Level-Wound Powered Unwind

With powered unwinding and integrated liner rewind, the SD-400 minimizes the disruptions that can occur with manual or passive unwind stands.

Operators benefit from smoother operation and reduced material handling, while engineers gain a robust platform designed to support consistent tape placement downstream.

One Stand — Dual-Lane Capability

The SD-400 is designed for integration into a wide range of automated systems and supports:

  • Dual-lane tape delivery from a single unwind stand
  • Pressure-sensitive or heat-activated acrylic foam tapes
  • Continuous or intermittent lamination processes
  • Integration with applicators, laminators, and custom automation

Its compact footprint and industrial construction make it suitable for both standalone use and system-level integration.
