Quick answers

The YIXING gantry-mounted tape applicator head is a custom taping unit from Dongguan Yixing Automation Equipment Co., Ltd., with the tape head mounted on a gantry frame.
The brochure photo of the YIXING gantry-mounted tape applicator head shows a cable drag chain and a separate electrical control box.
The YIXING gantry-mounted tape applicator head has no standard specs; its gantry size and tape head type are built to the customer's production line.
The standard products related to the YIXING gantry-mounted tape applicator head are YIXING's tape applicator heads (liner-peeling, non-peeling, waste-rewinding) and inline labeling heads.
The YIXING gantry-mounted tape applicator head is intended for projects that add a taping station to an existing production 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.

Industries

Electronics
Hardware

Typical scenarios

Adding a taping station to an existing conveyor
Inline application of double-sided, 3M or similar tape on flat products
Taping projects that need a gantry sized to the line

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.
