Spiral taping refers to machines that apply tape across the length of a wire harness. Spiral taping machines work either by pulling the wire harness through the taping head or by running the taping head along the length of the wiring harness. As is true in many taping applications, the type of tape used for spiral taping is critical to the design of the machine. Other factors such as the length of the harness and the thickness of the piece being taped will affect machine design as will the number of breakouts on the harness.

There are two basic taping methods used to cover wire. Which taping method, eccentric or concentric, is best for your particular taping application is influenced by how fast the tape is to be applied and the size and shape of the work piece. In eccentric taping systems, the tape core roll is rotated around the wire or work piece. In concentric taping systems, the tape is applied using a rotating guide arm as the wire or work piece is passed through the center of the taping roll.

CAM's spot taping machines wrap adhesive tape around bundles of wires, pipes, tubes, and coils. They require no special brand of tape and work with many commercially available adhesive tapes. With a cycle time of less than one second, our manual tapers are much faster than hand taping and have been designed with your operator's safety and comfort in mind.

Hand taping static rings for transformers, buss bars for generators or any kind of electrical ring is a time-consuming and tedious experience. CAM's Ring Taping Machine systems not only will improve the quality of the tape wrap and the consistency of the overlap, they will tape in mere minutes what takes hours to tape manually. With a precise tape overlay, there is no wasted material and therefore a savings in tape on every ring. You'll discover that the payback on a CAM Ring Taping Machine is faster than you ever imagined.
