Gantry-Mounted Tape Applicator Head

中文龙门架贴胶头

The YIXING gantry-mounted tape applicator head is a custom taping station: a tape head on a gantry frame, with a cable drag chain and a separate electrical control box, for adding a taping step to an existing line. The brochure lists no standard specs, since gantry size and head type follow the customer's line.

Overview

The gantry-mounted tape applicator head is for plants that already run a production line and only need to add a taping step. In the brochure photo, the tape head is mounted on a gantry frame, its cables run through a drag chain, and a separate electrical control box sits alongside. Because the gantry size and the head type are both built to the customer's line, no standard specs are published.

The head itself can be compared with YIXING's standard tape applicator heads, which come in three types — liner-peeling, non-peeling (the liner stays on the tape) and waste-rewinding — chosen to match the tape and the process. The standard heads are rated at ±1 mm taping accuracy and 500 mm/s, for tape 3–50 mm wide (liner width) on reels with a 76 mm core and 250 mm outer diameter. Those are standard head figures; the complete custom station is specified in its own project design.

On the mounting side, YIXING's inline labeling head range includes a gantry-mounted top labeling head that fits onto a customer's conveyor; the gantry tape head puts a tape head on a gantry for the taping step instead. For an evaluation, provide the conveyor width and height, product samples, tape positions and lengths, tape specs, cycle time, and where the control box can stand.

Key advantages

Gantry mounting

The tape head is mounted on a gantry frame whose size is built to the customer's line.

Cable drag chain

In the brochure photo, the head's cables are routed through a drag chain.

Separate control box

The electrical controls sit in their own box, and its location is worked out with the site layout during project design.

Three head types

YIXING's standard heads come in liner-peeling, non-peeling and waste-rewinding versions, selected by tape and process.

Made for existing lines

Suited to projects that already have a line and only need to add one taping station.

Customization note

Shown in the brochure's custom-model section without standard specifications; each machine is designed around the customer's product, label or tape layout and output target.

Selection tips

  • Choose the head by tape: a liner-peeling head when the release liner must come off during taping, a non-peeling head when the liner stays on, and a waste-rewinding head when waste must be collected.
  • If there is no line yet, or the product must be held by a vacuum table or fixture, consider a complete YIXING tape applicator: desktop, floor-standing 2-axis or 3-axis, rotary-head or inline models.
  • For flat products in continuous production that need their own conveyor, compare the inline conveyor tape applicator.
  • Before asking for a quote, measure the conveyor width, product height and free space around the line, and prepare product and tape samples.

FAQ

What is a gantry-mounted tape applicator head?

A custom taping station with the tape head mounted on a gantry frame. The brochure photo shows a cable drag chain and a separate electrical control box; the station adds a taping step to a customer's production line.

Which tape head types can be used?

YIXING's standard tape heads come in three types: liner-peeling, non-peeling and waste-rewinding. On the gantry version, the head type is chosen to suit the customer's line and tape.

What tapes can it apply?

YIXING's standard tape applicators handle double-sided tape, 3M tape, clear tape and high-temperature tape. For a custom project, send the tape you actually use so the factory can confirm it.

How is the gantry size determined?

It is built to the customer's line. Provide the conveyor width, product height, the space around the mounting point and where the control box can go.

How accurate and fast is the gantry tape applicator head?

The brochure gives no specs for the complete gantry station. For reference, YIXING's standard tape heads are rated at ±1 mm (excluding product and label tolerances) and 500 mm/s (depending on product and tape size), for tape 3–50 mm wide; the custom station's figures are confirmed in its own design.

How does it relate to YIXING's inline labeling heads?

The inline labeling head range includes a gantry-mounted top labeling head that fits onto a customer's conveyor for labeling. The gantry tape head carries a tape head on a gantry instead, for lines that need a taping station.
