Project description
Our expanding shaft emerged as a solution to an existing problem during the collection of excess material during taping tasks.
It consists of a manually operated expanding cylinder, which allows for the quick tensioning and detensioning of the excess material cylinder for removal by the operator.
Already installed in several tape laying machines, it has succeeded in reducing current operation times.
