Vivid Laminating’s VeloTaper Taping System Wins Top Award
Vivid’s VeloBlade range of digital die-cutting systems can be equipped with the innovative, and now award-winning, automatic tape applicator called the VeloTaper. The product has picked up the Pinnacle InterTech Award for best technology.
VeloTaper is a fully automated flatbed taping system that applies double-sided tape accurately onto a variety of media and or substrates automatically in the designated spots. The result is a finished cut and creased product immediately ready for assembling.
“The VeloTaper is a patented innovation, designed and developed in-house by Vivid and a solution that can save a huge amount of time over manual hand application and costs. By using the fully automatic tape applicator, you can reduce operator dependency, eliminate tape waste and increase productivity. The VeloTaper system is compatible on all Veloblade Volta+ models.” says Michael Conti, Marketing Manager of Vivid Laminating.
A number of scenarios require double-sided tape to be laid onto sheet or roll materials to allow for later assembly or fixing. Traditionally this would be a manual and time-consuming task, and one that is subject to the inconsistencies typical of manual positioning. VeloTaper is a fully automated flatbed taping system that applies double-sided tape accurately onto a variety of media and or substrates automatically in the designated spots. The result is a finished cut and creased product immediately ready for assembling.
The VeloTaper automated flatbed taping system makes light work of this task and taping can be performed at the same time as other processes such as cutting and creasing, for ready-to-assemble displays for example.
The tape applicator is capable of automatically placing and cutting a range of double-sided tapes up to 22mm in width precisely along the X and Y axis. It allows the user to automatically cut, crease and tape all in one pass, freeing up the operator to complete other work.
