The KFT-2 Taper Model is a manually loaded coil taping machine specifically designed to ensure that covering of coils with pressure sensitive tape can be achieved quickly and accurately.

Basic construction is extremely robust with design parameters to provide a long and trouble-free operating life.

It's designed with a vertical rotating turret upon which the indexing spindles placed at 180˚ displacement allows very precise coil tape tracking. At no time during the life of the tape supply spool does severance of the tape between it and a coil occur. Tape alignment and tensioning is simple and easily accomplished, making adhesion of tape at start and finish of a coil always positive.

A particularly attractive feature is the simplicity of coil tooling requirements. Only two coil arbors and two simple wipe down fingers are needed. Fitting of arbors is easy because 0.315" (8 mm) diameter stub spindles are provided and wipe down fingers fit with two screws only. Setting up for a wide range of coil sizes and tape widths can normally be accomplished with little training once arbor and wipe down fingers are available.

The standard machine is equipped as follows:

Can tape coils with maximum diameter of 2 ¼" (57 mm) depending upon bobbin design and terminal arrangement.

Can tape coils with maximum width of 2 ½" (63 mm) depending upon bobbin
design and terminal arrangement

Manual mode for setting up and proving initial taping

Auto mode once correct set up is established

Operator loads bobbin or coil manually to arbor and presses two palm buttons.

Comprehensive guarding along with the palm buttons provides for the utmost safety operation.

Can tape between 1 and 10 turns of tape in ½ turn increments, set by easy counter switch

Automatic Part Counter

All elements of the coil taping operation can be run individually for setting or trouble shooting

PLC Controller

Options Available

Arbors and tape wipe down fingers to suit customer's component

AC supply, 110-115 volt, 1 phase, 60 hertz or, alternatively 220-240 volt, 1 phase, 50 hertz

Two tape reel dispensers for simultaneous taping of dual cavity bobbins

Foot switch

Each machine is supplied with a comprehensive manual and drawings for examples of tooling.

Have an application that requires a flat panel touchscreen computer system? Read below and discover why Ann Arbor Technologies is your perfect partner for designing and building your solution . . .

OVER 15 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE . . . Since 1988, Ann Arbor Technologies has been building industrial systems, but our engineers have over 70 years combined experience in working with computer systems, LCD display integration and system design and fabrication. We have the focus, flexibility and experience to be an effective development partner. Whether it is a touchscreen system designed for a medical application, or a simple consumer kiosk, Ann Arbor Technologies will develop the appropriate solution.

OPTION 1: ENHANCE CURRENT PRODUCT . . . The first type of customization involves enhancing a current AAT product. Starting with simple cosmetic items like custom logos and keypads, up to implementing additional components like RAID double hard disk configurations or dual processors, AAT can quickly assess the enhancement and integrate any necessary design changes. From small embedded "brick" computers running Windows CE.net to large 21" UXGA systems, simple enhancements to existing products can solve your problems.

OPTION 2: COMPLETE PRODUCT DESIGN . . . If your application requires hardware outside of our current offering, we would apply 3D Process to discover, design and deliver the right product that fits your specifications from the ground up. Any place a touchscreen computer system is required, we can create the best solution. Also, because this is a custom designed system we can be sure to get the appropriate safety designations and maintain a consistent supply of product components.

OUR "3D" PROCESS . . . DISCOVERY - Before we even think about computers, our product design team would assess the needs of your application through utilizing tools that help guide you along the process of finding the specific uses of the system and then matching your desired specifications to system capabilities. DESIGN - Once we have an understanding of your needs, we would then begin designing a system; either enhancing a current product or developing a new product all together. We then prepare a quote consisting of a Development Fee and a per system price. The design phase is an interactive process between AAT and our customers resulting in a prototype system within a matter of weeks. DELIVERY - Once that prototype is approved we begin delivery while also assessing additional enhancement opportunities that might present themselves. Somewhere between tens and thousands, Ann Arbor Technologies can provide the perfect quantity solution for custom systems. Once we design a system, we specialize in smaller batch production runs that can accommodate delivery of 1 per month or 100 per month. Manufacturing flexibility is the key.

Vulcan's Conpower and Power Springs are formed by winding a strip of material on an arbor and into a case or retaining ring to create a compact power source. Conpower springs are pre-stressed to produce a flatter torque gradient than conventional power springs, and can be used to increase the amount of turns in a given case diameter. These springs provide rotational energy from either the arbor or the case, or linear motion with the use of a pulley or cable.

Design criteria for both types of springs are the same. The decision to use a power spring or Conpower spring is based on the application. A Vulcan engineer can help with this determination.

Power Springs, also known as clock springs, are formed by winding a strip of material on an arbor and into a case or retaining ring. Rotational torque can be obtained from a center arbor or from the case. This torque will increase throughout the total winding of the spring.

Conpower springs are pre-stressed power springs. This spring produces a flatter torque gradient than the conventional power spring and can be used to increase the amount of turns in a given case diameter.

Conpower and Power Springs have many applications including:
-Cord Retractors
-Counterbalances
-Wind up toys and games
-Timers

This feeder has full menu of designed, quick-change, bolt-in tooling for eight (8) different ARBORS and CAPS. Three cubic feet of any part is stored, elevated, oriented, and live feed tracked to final registry at 300 pieces per hour, for robotic pickup.

Live feed tooling present CAPS diameter to diameter, axes vertical, and face selected. ARBORS are hung by their large diameters and radially controlled by their hex shanks.

Changeover from part to part takes two to ten minutes.

Designed, straightline, vibratory tooling makes all this possible in a single feeder.
