(SPEECH) [ROCK MUSIC] (DESCRIPTION) Logo on a machine, 3M RoboTape. Tape Automation System. Meet the next generation of industrial bonding solutions. Push past the boundaries of manual application with the excitement, the adventure, the performance of automation. Introducing the RoboTape System for 3M Tape. A collaboration of 3M and 3M RoboTape Tape Automation System. This automated dispensing solution for select 3M Tapes will take your production to new terrain. Now you can apply tape in a curved radius, apply required pressure without extra steps, and finish it off with clean cuts. Customized for your assembly line, the RotoTape System for 3M Tape is pre-programmed and mechanically advanced to pass 3M's five-point check and optimize the areas of: 1. Limited tape stretch. 2. Accurate tape wet out. 3. Splice identification and disposal. 4. Successful liner handling. 5. Repeatable tape placement accuracy. And to work with the 3M tapes you know and trust. The result is faster, smarter tape application. The RotoTape System for 3M Tape can help your manufacturing process increase throughput; improve quality; improve consistency; reduce work-in-process; reduce rework; re-task and develop your workforce. Advance to the next level in product design and development. Apply tape up to 300mm per second. Immediately handle taped components. Implement your complex designs faster. Leave manual taping in the dust! Text, It's fast and easy to empty the liner drawer and change spools with zero downtime. Plus, the RotoTape System for 3M Tape can integrate with many existing automation systems. So, whether you're manufacturing automobiles; HVAC systems; appliances; all-terrain vehicles, take your production process beyond limits. Introducing the RoboTape System for 3M Tape.

(SPEECH) [UPBEAT MUSIC] (DESCRIPTION) Logo and text, 3M, in Collaboration with Vulcan Technic. 3M Straight Line Laminator, How to operate. Alignment. A person works at the machine. Text, Insert the substrate into the base. Align the base alignment plate against the substrate. Press the plate against the substrate, keep in mind to press against the substrate to cause friction. Lower the applicator roller. Before starting the application operation make sure that the applicator is at the proper height. Feeding. Red tape is over an upper wheel and under the applicator roller next to it, and moves outward onto a substrate as the operator moves the substrate forward and sets another substrate in place behind it and feeds it through. In a close view, the tape holds the two pieces of the substrate together. Text, Cutting. The operator uses a blade to cut the tape at the junction, then slides the bar along the machine. He cuts the tape at another junction. He cuts at another junction, just under the applicator roller, then lowers a lever at the back of the wheel and roller and they raise up. Logo and text, 3M.
