Key Automated Taping Solutions and Applications

Structural & Trim Bonding

Straub Design tape applicators and robotic taping systems can apply high-strength attachment tapes to exterior pillars, body moldings, appliqués, and emblems.

These systems handle complex 3D profiles and curved radiuses that are difficult or impossible to bond manually—delivering consistent adhesion, improved appearance, and reduced reliance on mechanical fasteners.

EV Battery Taping

Specialized Straub Design Company applicators can apply fire-retardant, thermally conductive, and electrically insulating tapes to battery cells and packs.

Automation ensures:

  • Uniform sealing against moisture and contaminants
  • Controlled thermal pathways to heat sinks
  • Precise insulation for electrical safety

Interior Component Assembly

Straub Design Company applicators can integrate with robots to apply thin bond tapes to interior panels, headliners, dashboards, and trim components often eliminating curing time and speeding up assembly.

Paint Masking & Surface Protection

Precision robotic applicators apply masking tapes for critical paint edges and protective films to sensors, displays, and cosmetic surfaces during manufacturing and transport.

These systems reduce paint rework and help prevent damage to high-value components.
