Benefits of adhesive tapes:

Fast processes

Clean application

Reliable performance

To facilitate application processes, we oﬀer our tapes in various forms and with fitting applicators if applicable.
Please contact us with your specific requirements.
Example of tailored dispensing solutions for frame bonding:Long-length tape spools
Our spooled tapes in long lengths
and superior slitting quality enablean efficient framing process. They
are designed to run in leading
automated framing units andfacilitate efficient mass production.

tesa® 6095 spool dispenser
To support the most efficient
processes, our tesa® 6095
semi-automated dispenser
unwinds and feeds long-lengthtape spools. This means fewer rollchanges and less waste at a low
investment cost and a solution thatis very easy to integrate into
existing production layouts.

tesa® edge taper LR
To efficiently apply tape from apancake roll to the module edge,
we recommend our ‘tesa® edge
taper LR’, a precise, easy-to-use,well-proven handheld applicatorwith a liner removal function.
