SD-6 Conveyor System

A Flexible Conveying Platform for Automated Tape Application

The SD-6 Conveyor System is designed as a universal conveyor and control platform to accommodate a wide variety of Straub Design tape applicators for applying pressure-sensitive tapes.

Using the SD-6, one or more tape applicators can be mounted to the conveyor to apply single or multiple lanes of tape to product at conveyor speeds of up to 100 feet (30M) per minute.

The SD-6 provides a stable, configurable base that allows manufacturers to standardize tape application while maintaining flexibility for different products and tape types.

Overview

Conveying and Control Made Simple

The SD-6 combines controlled product conveyance with applicator mounting and system control into a single, compact platform. Its universal design allows it to support multiple Straub Design applicators while maintaining consistent product handling.

By serving as the foundation for automated tape application, the SD-6 helps reduce setup complexity and improve consistency across production runs.

Consistency Through Standardization

By integrating conveyor motion, applicator mounting, and control into one system, the SD-6 minimizes variability that can occur with standalone or improvised conveyor setups.

Operators benefit from predictable operation and repeatable setups, while engineering teams gain a standardized platform that supports multiple applications with fewer adjustments.

One Conveyor — Many Applications

The SD-6 Conveyor System is designed to support a range of Straub Design tape applicators and automation requirements. Compatible applicators include:

The system can be configured with one or multiple applicators to create single-lane or multi-lane tape application setups, depending on production needs.

Built to Match Your Process Requirements

The SD-6 Conveyor System can be configured and expanded to support different applications and production environments, including:

  • Multiple tape applicator mounting
    Supports one or more applicators for multi-lane tape application
  • Automatic sheet feeders
    Enables automated product feeding into the conveyor system
  • Wider and longer conveyor units
    Available to accommodate larger products or extended processing needs
  • Integrated applicator mounting and product guides
    Included for accurate, repeatable setup
  • Recipe storage capability
    Can store up to five (5) recipes for quick changeovers and consistent operation

Straub Design engineers work closely with customers to configure the SD-6 so it integrates seamlessly into the complete automation system.
