The latest developments to enhance the Tapeformer range include the new Tapeformer mounting table. Two sizes of the adjustable table will accommodate all sizes of Tapeformer: the smaller table will take models A to D (5mm to 75mm tape width) and the larger takes models E to G (76mm to 210mm). The tables are easy to install and set, with a height adjustment on entry and exit to ensure that the Tapeformer runs correctly. Ordering the right size is simple, needing only the choice of large or small and the height of the centreline of the extruder from the floor. Tapeformers are manufactured to individual user needs, and suit all types of cable and cable machinery. They will run at line speeds of 200m per minute to ensure reliable insulating and shielding. Teflon inserts can be used, to reduce tape friction, where necessary. RG Attachments has also added an extra long Tapeformer to the range. Developed in response to a customer request, the extra long Tapeformer fits inside the centre of a braiding machine to wrap shielding around the cable before the braiding is applied. Any length or width of Tapeformer can be manufactured to suit any individual application.
