SD-4 Conveyor System

A Compact Conveyor Platform for Precision Tape Application

The SD-4 Conveyor System is a compact, universal conveyor and control platform designed to accommodate a variety of Straub Design tape applicators for applying pressure-sensitive tapes.

With a 4″ (102mm) wide by 3′ (.9M) long conveyor, the SD-4 allows one or more tape applicators to be mounted directly to the system, supporting single-lane or multi-lane tape application at conveyor speeds of up to 100 feet per minute (30mpm). Its space-efficient footprint makes it ideal for work cells, benchtop automation, and applications where floor space is limited.

Overview

Compact Conveying Made Reliable

The SD-4 combines controlled conveying, applicator mounting, and integrated control into a single compact platform. Designed as a smaller alternative to larger conveyor systems, for tabletop use, it delivers dependable product handling while maintaining compatibility with multiple Straub Design applicators.

Precision in a Smaller Footprint

By integrating applicator mounting and product guidance directly into the conveyor design, the SD-4 minimizes setup variability and supports consistent product presentation.

Operators benefit from predictable performance and simplified operation, while engineers gain a compact, scalable platform that can grow with production needs.

One Conveyor — Multiple Applicator Options

The SD-4 Conveyor System is designed to support a variety of Straub Design tape applicators and automation configurations. Compatible applicators include:

  • T-653 Continuous Laminator
  • T-627 Flat Surface Tape Applicator
  • T-626 Flat Surface Tape Applicator
  • T-628 Flat Surface Tape Applicator
  • SD-654 Tape Applicator (with controls upgrade)

The SD-4 can be configured with one or multiple applicators, enabling flexible tape layouts while maintaining accurate product handling.
