The 3M™ AccuGlide™ RC+ Stainless Steel Taping Head is a next‑generation solution designed to meet the rising demands of packaging with recycled corrugate — constructed with stainless steel parts designed for corrosion resistance in high moisture environments. Built on proven AccuGlide™ design elements, this taping head delivers controlled application pressure and tape tension thanks to soft-touch technology and a dancer arm that helps reduce tape chatter while improving unwind consistency. Additionally, it offers a six‑position wipe-down spring adjustment that fine-tunes application pressure and supports operation in either top or bottom case sealer positions. Left and right-open mirror-image taping heads are available, enabling tape to be loaded from either side, while an adjustable, one-way tension roller provides additional control. These features make the 3M™ AccuGlide™ RC+ Stainless Steel Taping Head a flexible, high‑performance taping solution that delivers consistency, adaptability, and value — reinforcing 3M’s commitment to packaging innovation.
Integral to the recycled corrugate capability of the 3M™ AccuGlide™ RC+ Stainless Steel Taping Head is its fully customizable platform. This taping head enables customers to tailor the system to their unique packaging needs through the availability of several bolt-on features, including a tension reduction kit, speed enhancer kit, edge fold kit, and LTH conversion kit. These various add-ons enhance the performance characteristics of the 3M™ AccuGlide™ RC+ Stainless Steel Taping Head and are further complemented by its wide compatibility with 3M-Matic Case Sealers, including 3M-Matic™ Adjustable Case Sealers 2000a, 7000a, and 8000a Series, as well as 3M-Matic™ Random Case Sealers 7000r & 8000r Series. 3M also offers stud kits that enable this taping head to fit into a wide range of competitive, non-3M machinery. When combined with 3M tape and case‑sealing equipment, the 3M™ AccuGlide™ RC+ Stainless Steel Taping Head platform delivers enhanced performance and problem‑solving capability.
