➣➢➣ Its vertical taping line with vertical sintering oven is suitable for many different types of tapes and fibres, such as PTFE, polyimide, mica, polyester, fleece, laminated tapes, metal tapes and paper. The high speed and the precision is enabled by a closed loop tape tension control and a very precise speed synchronisation between the capstan (or caterpillar) and the taping heads.

///Explore is the premier route in the levels in demanding deliveries with the lowest total cost of ownership. It is a high output solution. Launched at the show will be the new aviation cable production line, as well as the High and Extra High Voltage Roundness Value Package.

❍ Vertical taping line from Lukas
