Overview

Designed for Productivity in Real-World Conditions

The T-626 is built for consistent, repeatable tape application across a variety of production setups. It can be mounted over a moving conveyor, integrated into automated machinery, or used in custom systems where the applicator moves across stationary products.

With the ability to apply continuous tape or discrete strips with precise spacing, the system supports a wide range of product configurations and production requirements.

The applicator accommodates large tape rolls and is engineered for efficient operation in both high-speed and precision-driven environments.

Ready to Improve Your Process

The T-626 is designed to integrate easily into existing production lines or custom machinery setups.

Key integration benefits include:

  • Can be mounted over moving conveyors or product flow lines
  • Suitable for systems where the applicator moves across stationary products
  • Supports both continuous and intermittent tape application
  • Handles a wide range of product types and material conditions

This adaptability allows manufacturers to configure the applicator based on workflow rather than altering processes to fit the equipment.

Power Requirements

Electrical

  • 24V DC, 2A or 120 VAC, 1A (50/60 Hz)

Air

  • 60 PSIG (4.1 bar)
  • 0.4 SCFM (11.2 L/min)

Operational Notes

Product must be firmly driven under the applicator or securely held while the applicator moves across it

For non-rigid materials, recommended that tape length + inset exceeds 2” for optimal performance

Tape cut-off produces a serrated edge, with minor gripper marks approximately ½” from the leading edge
