What the ALTA Linear Tape Applicator Does
Whether you’re applying single-sided tape, double-sided adhesive, foam tape, protective film, or hook-and-loop Velcro/Dual Lock, the ALTA handles it all. The ALTA efficiently applies tape or film with repeatable accuracy, helping your facility reduce labor costs and enhance quality. The liner rewinder option enables simultaneous liner removal and application of double-sided adhesives.
The ALTA system is ideal for straight-line tape application on products like:
With the ability to integrate multiple tape heads (like the TA 350) on a single system, the ALTA is built to handle high-volume, high-precision applications.
Robotics Integration Options
From product infeed to outfeed, TPC can fully automate your process with FANUC robotic integration, covering everything from palletizing and case packing to the final outfeed. This provides a seamless, hands-free operation from start to finish, leading to reduced labor, increased production rates, shorter downtime, and improved quality consistency.
Highly Customizable and Modular
The ALTA system is modular by design, allowing us to configure everything from tape head quantity and positioning to optional robotics and conveyance equipment. Whether you need a standalone machine or a complete turnkey packaging line, TPC can design, integrate, and deliver a system tailored to your product dimensions, materials, and performance requirements.
