T-626 Tape Applicator

Precision Tape Application for Flat Surface and Converting Applications

The T-626 Tape Applicator is designed to apply a wide range of pressure-sensitive tapes to flat surfaces with high accuracy and flexibility. Capable of continuous strips or intermittent applications with gaps, the system adapts to diverse production needs across packaging, converting, and assembly operations.

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.

Flexible Setup for Field Applications

The T-626 system offers multiple configurations to meet specific application needs:

  • Speed Options:
    • T-626: for speeds up to 350 fpm
    • T-626-HD: for speeds up to 500 fpm
  • Width Options:
    • T-626-1: for ¼” to 1” wide tape
    • T-626-2: for ¾” to 2” wide tape
  • Hand Orientation:
    • Available in right-hand or left-hand configurations
  • Performance Enhancements:
    • Powered pre-stripper to reduce pull force on products
    • Edge folding device for specialized applications
    • Liner rewind for double-coated tapes
  • Automation & Controls:
    • Integrated control systems for applicator operation
    • Tape low and tape fail sensors
    • Dual-head control system with automatic switching for continuous operation

Extended Width Options:
Available in wider configurations: 3.25”, 4.50”, 5.75”, 7.00”

Straub Design works closely with customers to configure each system to meet application, material, and throughput requirements.

System Specifications

Weight

  • T-626-1: 16 lbs
  • T-626-2: 20 lbs

Tape Roll Capacity

  • Maximum diameter: 18”
  • Core size: 3”

Minimum Center-to-Center Distance Between Tape Strips

T-626-1: 3⅝”

T-626-2: 4½”

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
