Conductive Tape – Optimized with Our Automation Equipment

Electrical continuity, controlled performance, and repeatable results—applied with precision.

Why Conductive Tape?

Conductive tapes combine adhesive bonding with electrical functionality, making them essential for applications that demand both mechanical attachment and reliable electrical performance.

Manufacturers rely on conductive tapes to achieve:

  • Reliable grounding and electrical continuity 
  • EMI/RFI shielding for electronic systems 
  • Simplified assembly without soldering or mechanical fasteners 
  • Clean, low–profile integration into compact designs 

Straub Design equipment ensures these benefits are delivered consistently—protecting electrical performance throughout the application process. 

Automated, Repeatable Conductive Application

Conductive tape applications are highly sensitive to placement accuracy, pressure uniformity, and tape integrity. Straub Design applicators automate the process to deliver consistent results while safeguarding the tape’s conductive properties.

Consistent Placement You Can Trust

Manual application can lead to misalignment, inconsistent overlap, or poor electrical contact. Straub Design automation delivers repeatable placement for continuous runs, discrete segments, and complex paths—eliminating operator variability.

Precision Feed, Cut, and Tension Control

Conductive tapes—especially those incorporating foils, particles, or woven layers—are sensitive to stretching, tearing, and deformation. Straub Design systems regulate tape tension, tracking, and feed speed to protect tape structure and performance.

Clean Handling & Liner Management

Contamination, wrinkles, and liner disturbance can compromise conductivity. Straub Design equipment is designed to maintain clean tape handling, with optional pre–strippers and liner rewind systems that expose adhesive exactly when needed.

Built for Electrical Integration and Repeatability

Whether used as a standalone applicator or integrated into a fully automated assembly line, Straub Design solutions support high–volume, high–reliability conductive tape application for electronics, enclosures, and electrically sensitive assemblies.

Common Industries & Applications

Straub Design equipment applies conductive tapes across a wide range of industries, including:

Electronics & Electrical Assemblies

Automotive & Transportation

Appliances

Industrial Equipment

Renewable Energy & Power Systems

Typical applications include grounding paths, EMI/RFI shielding, bonding conductive components, sealing electrically sensitive enclosures, and creating redundant electrical connections.

Designed for Your Tape. Your Product. Your Process.

Conductive tape applications vary widely based on tape construction, conductivity type, liner design, and required electrical performance. 

Straub Design works closely with manufacturers to ensure: 

  • Proper tape path and guide design to protect conductive layers 
  • Optimized roller materials that preserve surface integrity 
  • Accurate pressure and tension control to maintain conductivity 
  • Liner handling matched to low–residue and sensitive adhesives 
  • Programming aligned with your electrical and mechanical requirements 

The result is conductive tape application you can trust—engineered around your exact process needs.
