Coil taping Machines

Advantages:

• Possibility to choose between different taping heads according to the dimensions of the coil to be processed.
• Possibility to perform complete coil taping (knuckles included).
• Different levels of automation available, depending on the required productivity.
• Possibility to store a taping program for each coil reference.
• Ergonomics and operator safety.
• Full compliance with industry 4.0 requirements.

Technical Features:

• Possibility to choose between different taping heads according to the dimensions of the coil to be processed.
• Head rotation controlled by the PLC and synchronized with the rotation of the rubberized conveyors to achieve perfect control of tape overlapping.
• Taping speed and direction can be easily adjusted trough a touch screen.
• Possibility to tape with one or two tape rolls simultaneously to speed up the process.
• Quick and easy adjustment of the tension and inclination of each individual tape roll support.
• The worktop can be opened in order to allow an expert operator to tape also the coil knuckle.
• Automatic support for back coil slot part to facilitate the handling of large coils.
• Possibility to adjust the height of the bench to achieve maximum work ergonomics.
• HMI to display work parameters, list of errors, different levels of operator access and work programs associated to the single coil references.

Technical Features: 

• Completely automatic coil taping process.
• Anthropomorphic robot capable of following any coil shape/profile; control system with 8 interpolated electric axes that allows the robot to move freely in space.
• Automatic coil profile self-teach-in devices to easily create new work programs dedicated to new coil models.
• Possibility to choose among different taping heads according to the size of the coils to be processed.
• Possibility to tape with one or two tape rolls simultaneously to speed up the process.
• Electronic tape tensioning system to keep the taping tension constant and to have a controlled, operator-defined tension variation based on the position of the taping head along different areas of the coil.
• Automatic tape rolls orientation system to change tape application angle on the coil at any time during the process.
• Electronic sensors to check for tape presence, tape spool diameter measurement and tape roll rotation.
• Automatic system for tape roll angle reversal at the end of the coil.
• Automatic machines able to perfectly tape the entire coil, knuckles included.
• Possibility to work with many different insulation tapes and process tapes, such as VPI mica tapes, Resin Rich mica tapes, Kapton tapes, fiberglass tapes (protective tapes), sacrificial tapes.
• Taping speed up to 400 rpm.
• Taping accuracy up to 0.1 mm and 100% result repeatability.
• Customized machine configuration to meet specific needs.
• Maximum flexibility with automatically interchangeable taping heads to expand the size range of coils that can be processed.
• Possibility to have hybrid, highly flexible machines capable of taping coils, half coils, hydro generator bars, and even stator bars of turbo generators, thanks to the automatic taping head changing device and the flexibility of the anthropomorphic robot.
• Integrated remote assistance module: Rimac technicians can remotely connect to the machine and initiate a real-time remote assistance session. By accessing the control panel and PLC and then checking the operation of the machine, the Rimac technician can intervene directly and fix the problem or provide timely guidance. The module can be connected via Ethernet connection, Wi-Fi or GSM card.
