M777
Horizontal Tape Wrapper
Tension that follows the diameter
MethodHorizontal wrapRolePly consolidationFamilyTubular systems
Shrink tape that is tight on the large end and loose on the taper leaves ridges. The part remembers it.
The M777 is a horizontal tape-wrapping machine for shrink tape on straight and tapered mandrels. The head sets pitch and tension along the length so pressure stays even as the diameter changes.
Minimum part length 24 in. Maximum length is a day-one question with the customer. CDI has built to 20 ft. Do not treat 10, 12, or 14 ft as the only offering.
