Not every process needs high-speed automation. Straub Design Company designs process-assist tape application solutions that deliver professional-grade results while maintaining flexibility, simplicity, and operator control.
From push through applicators to straight-line laminators, these systems bridge the gap between hand application and full automation—improving quality, reducing waste, and preparing operations for future growth.
Straub’s push-through applicators provide controlled tape application using guided rollers and pressure systems while allowing the operator to advance the part manually.
Ideal for:
These tools dramatically improve repeatability over hand taping while preserving simplicity.
Straight-line laminators apply tape or adhesive films in a controlled, linear motion—ensuring uniform pressure and alignment across extended surfaces.
Common uses include:
These systems remove variability caused by uneven hand pressure and misalignment.
Designed for flexibility, these stations combine mechanical guidance, controlled nip pressure, and optional heating or activation features.
Used frequently in:
They bring process stability without requiring controls integration or programming expertise.
These products are often the first step toward automation, providing immediate quality gains with minimal operational disruption.
Although simpler by design, Straub’s manual-assist solutions share the same core principles as our automated systems:
Each solution is supported by Straub’s engineering team and can be customized as production needs evolve.
Whether you need a simple push-through applicator or a pathway toward future automation, Straub Design Company offers taping solutions designed to fit your process and not force change.
We’re more than an equipment supplier, we’re your automation partner, at every stage of growth.
