> A box tape wrapping machine puts adhesive tape bands around a box or a film-wrapped stack, in line, with no operator. In an integrated line it takes the product from an upstream conveyor, holds it down, wraps 2 or 4 tape bands, and hands it on to a curved conveyor and a robot. Our equivalent solution is built for cartons, stacked parts and film-wrapped bundles. This page covers how the machine links into a line, how the cycle is built up, how much tape a roll covers, and what we need from you.
In this line a white tape wrapping machine sits over a green belt conveyor. Stacks of small white products, already wrapped in clear film, arrive from the left. Two vertical arms come down to hold each stack, the tape head lays a yellow tape band around it, and the stack leaves on the right.
Packed stacks follow a curved conveyor toward a red robot arm in the background. A guard covers the taping head, and a small control panel with a screen, indicator light and red stop button sits at the infeed end.

Why tape bands on boxes and stacks
A tape band holds a stack together and closes a carton in one step, and it is quicker to remove than a plastic strap. Coloured tape also marks a pack: one colour per product or per customer order. On small, light products a tape band replaces strapping and avoids strap marks on soft packs.
In-line mechanical and electrical integration
An integrated taping machine has to match the line around it:
1. **Infeed:** a belt or telescopic raceway conveyor brings the product in at a fixed height. A photocell detects the leading edge and stops the product under the head.
2. **Hold-down:** arms or a pressing plate come down so the product cannot move while the tape goes on.
3. **Taping:** the head wraps the band, cuts the tape and presses the end down.
4. **Outfeed:** the product moves on to the next station: here a curved conveyor and a robot.
5. **Signals:** the machine sends ready and done signals to the line controller, so upstream and downstream stations wait for each other.
Get the conveyor heights, product direction and signal list agreed early. Most integration delays come from those three points, not from the taping head.
How the cycle is built up
**Time per product = number of bands × (time per band + pitch index) + product index.** Each extra band adds one more index of the pack to the next band position. Take 2 s per lap, 1 s per pitch index and 2 s to change products (example):
| Preverjanje | Izračun | Rezultat |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Time per product, 2 bands | 2 × (2 + 1) + 2 | 8 s |
| Products per hour, 2 bands | 3,600 ÷ 8 | 450 |
| With 4 bands | 4 × (2 + 1) + 2 | 14 s, about 257 per hour |
Match this to the line rate. If the line needs more, a second taping head or a buffer conveyor is the answer, not a faster head.
Tape width and tape per roll
**Tape per band = 2 × (product width + product height) + overlap.** For a 400 mm wide, 300 mm high pack with a 50 mm overlap (example):
| Preverjanje | Izračun | Rezultat |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Tape per band | 2 × (400 + 300) + 50 | 1,450 mm |
| Bands per 200 m roll | 200,000 ÷ 1,450 | about 137 |
| Products per roll, 2 bands | 137 ÷ 2 | about 68 |
Use the result to plan roll changes per shift. Tape width is 24–48 mm: wider tape for heavier stacks, narrower tape on small cartons.

1. Product size range and weight.
2. Products per hour from the line.
3. Bands per product and their positions.
4. Tape type, width and colour.
5. Conveyor heights and direction at infeed and outfeed.
6. Upstream and downstream machines and their signals.
Varnost
The machine is designed to EN ISO 12100:2010 for risk assessment, EN 415-10 for packaging machine safety and EN 60204-1 for electrical equipment. The hold-down arms and the rotating tape head are the main hazards. A guard covers the head, and a stop button sits on the panel. Where a robot works downstream, its cell guarding is planned together with the taping machine. Guarding and CE documents are agreed per project.
Pogosta vprašanja o inženirstvu
Q: How many tape bands can the machine put on?
A: 2 or 4 per product, at positions set on the panel.
V: Kako hitro je?
A: About 2–3 s per band. Two bands with indexing come to about 8 s per product, or 450 an hour.
Q: Can it tape film-wrapped stacks?
A: Yes. The hold-down keeps the stack square while the tape goes around the film.
Q: How does it talk to the rest of the line?
A: Through ready and done signals with the line controller, plus photocells at the infeed.
Q: How long does a tape roll last?
A: Divide roll length by tape per band. A 200 m roll gives about 137 bands on a 400 × 300 mm pack.
