Tape Payoff for Jacketing Lines with Automatic ON-THE-FLY Splicing
The Dynamex Series TPX Tape Payoff was developed specifically to enable uninterrupted tape supply for longitudinal taping in the extrusion process , but it can also be used in other continuous systems . This patented machine enables running a taping process continuously with unattended splicing , which until now has been considered unavailable . Dynamex , an acknowledged innovator of equipment for the Wire & Cable industry for over 40 years , is well known around the world for its high-speed single-twist cablers and bunchers , driven payoffs , taping systems and ancillaries .
The Auto-Splicing Tape Payoff accommodates two tape pads , one running and the other waiting to be spliced when the active one is depleted . The high-reliability splicing takes place automatically at full line speed , and at the right moment , independent of the operator ’ s presence . Both tape pads are driven , and the tape is delivered to the line from a driven capstan , that fully controls the tape tension as it enters the process . The operator only needs to load a new pad and prep the tape for the next splice . An alert is built-in to remind the operator to load the new tape in time . An additional important advantage of this machine is that it minimizes tape scrap . is a tape-redirector , which delivers the tape parallel to the line and into the tape former ( optional or by customer .) The machine can be supplied optionally with retractable wheels for mobility .
These systems run and splice automatically at speeds exceeding 400 m / min , and can operate with tissue , kraft paper , water-swellable , mylar , PE , PTFE or aluminized tape on one or both sides .
Models are available for the traditional flat pads , as well as the wide spools with traversed tape . Dynamex also offers model TPX-TRFL that can run both flat pads and traversed pads .

The machine has a small footprint , and it can be installed off-line at any angle to the line , which facilitates its addition to existing installations . Also provided with the payoff
