SD-2415 Splicer for Level-Wound Rolls

Continuous Tape Splicing for Uninterrupted Lamination

The SD-2415 Splicer is designed to automatically splice level-wound rolls of tape using a heat-bond splicing tab, enabling continuous lamination without stopping production.

By seamlessly transitioning from one tape roll to the next, the SD-2415 supports uninterrupted processing of tape with polyethylene liner at operating speeds of up to 75 ft/min (22.9 m/min). This makes it an ideal solution for high-throughput lamination and tape processing environments.

Overview

Continuous Splicing Made Reliable

The SD-2415 is engineered to eliminate downtime associated with tape roll changeovers. A controlled tape dancer arm maintains consistent tape delivery during the splicing process, allowing downstream equipment to continue operating without interruption.

The system automatically joins the end of a depleted roll to a new roll using heat-sensitive tabbing tape, ensuring a secure splice while preserving tape integrity.

Uptime Through Automation

By automating the splicing of level-wound tape rolls, the SD-2415 reduces manual intervention and prevents production stoppages.

Operators benefit from simplified roll management, while production teams gain smoother operation and higher overall equipment effectiveness.

One Splicer — Continuous Lamination

The SD-2415 is designed for integration into tape lamination and processing systems and supports:

Continuous lamination processes with polyethylene-lined tapes
Automated splicing between level-wound rolls
Integration with downstream taping, laminating, and converting equipment

A dedicated liner rewind spindle removes and collects liner during operation, improving housekeeping and simplifying liner disposal.

Built to Match Your Process Requirements

The SD-2415 includes features and integration considerations designed to support stable, high-speed operation, including:

Automatic heat-bond splicing Uses heat-sensitive tabbing tape to join rolls without stopping production
Tape dancer arm Maintains continuous tape movement during the splice cycle
Separate liner rewind spindle Collects liner for easy removal and disposal

Straub Design engineers work closely with customers to ensure the SD-2415 integrates cleanly into existing or newly designed processing systems.
