Tape casting
Horizontal Drying Zone Tape Casters H-series
High output tape casting on carrier films, 5–500 µm, with automatic gap control.
High output tape casting on carrier films.
- Suitable for green tape thicknesses from 5 to 500 microns (0.2 to 20 mils)
- Automatic high accuracy gap setting control
- Different models available
The CAM-H series of tape casters are our most advanced tape casting machines, suitable for the highest production demands. Advanced drying regimes make them very suitable for thick tape production.
- Numerous temperature and air flow sensors are installed for process control.
- Automated continuous slurry dosage flows through a slotted die system with ±10 µm (0.4 mils) slurry level height control on the casting box.
- Fully automatic casting gap control with auto zero calibration.
- The process can be continuously monitored on a touch screen or an external PC.
- Preset menus can be used to quickly start a new casting batch.
Options
A series of available options customise the casters to meet particular requirements, including (but not limited to):
- Tape edge cutting
- Different drying zones
- Drying zone extensions up to 20 m (66 ft) in 2 m (6.6 ft) steps
- Safety package for explosion-proof casting process
- Data link for external process monitoring
- Laser tape thickness measurement with tape marking
- Slurry filter cartridge
| Casting speed | 0.1–6 m/min (0.3–20 ft/min), adjustable |
| Carrier tape width | 350, 450 or 600 mm max. (12, 18 or 24 inch), depending on version |
| Casting width | Up to 200 mm (8 inch), 380 mm (15 inch) or 500 mm (20 inch) |
| Dry tape thickness | 5–500 microns (0.2–20 mils) |
