WL-50 Liner Pull Tab Applicator

The WL-50 Liner Pull Tab Applicator dispenses, cuts and seals 3M #5400 or Y4230 heat bond tabbing film ½” to 1 ¾” wide to the release liner on 3M acrylic foam tape. The tabs are typically applied to the ends of the tape or the joints between tapes for ease in removal of liners exposing the high-strength adhesive.

The WL-50 Model heat seals one or more tabs to the tape liners. Fixturing provides accurate location of the product and actuation of the machine. Accurate temperature, time, and pressure controls provide consistent heat sealing of the tabs to the liner.

Designed for versatility, the WL-50 tape application machine is used in automotive industry applications and those involving the application of heat-bond tabbing film and heat-bond tapes to surfaces.
