From multifunctional printers for home and home office use to commercial copiers for business, users are increasingly demanding extra functionality from their devices that goes beyond just pure printing. As a result, printer and copier manufacturers are designing high-end multipurpose devices featuring innovative scanning, copying, and networking capabilities. But complex devices mean more intricate production processes, and it can sometimes be difficult to maintain overall product quality.
Here at tesa, we have developed a range of tape assembly solutions for printers and copiers that not only streamline production processes and the mounting of parts, but also improve and maintain a printer’s efficiency and reliability during its lifespan. For instance, tesa® masking and surface protection tapes protect glass, plastic and painted metal parts from scratches and dirt during assembly. And when transporting products, tesa® strapping tapes reduce any potential damage to a machine by securing parts and taking on some of the load.
Enhance printer and copier assembly processes with specialized tape
Our flexible tesa® tapes help the printer and copier sector to streamline production processes while improving device quality and reliability. And our specialized tapes allow you to attach parts securely to plastic, metal, or most other materials.
Moreover, the tapes in our assortment have a conformable backing that easily sticks to irregular surfaces and die-cut well, so you can bond even small plastic or rubber parts to the substrate precisely and cleanly. And of course, the printer and copier tapes we develop at tesa feature aging, temperature, moisture, and shock resistance. Most importantly, unlike liquid glue, there is no curing time, aka, time required for the glue to set.
Where can you use tesa® tapes in your production processes?
- Displays can be mounted with foam or plastic tapes to facilitate fast and reliable bonding.
- Using double-sided plastic tapes, emblems can be mounted without punching the plastic substrates.
- To guide the paper within a copier or printer, double-sided tape bonds the PET liner to the device.
- The scanner glass can be cleanly and securely bonded to the body of the device with non-woven tapes.
- Recommended for fixing document sponges, non-woven tapes are tear-resistant and have excellent adhesive qualities.
- To cover small holes on devices, plastic or non-woven tapes can be applied to bond small parts to the substrate.
Industrial tapes for securing and protecting printer parts
As a global partner to printer and copier manufacturers, we offer a wide choice of adhesive tape solutions for all office automation devices – from ink jet, laser, and multifunction printers to high-volume commercial devices such as multifunction digital copiers. Trying to incorporate innovative design features and advanced functionality places high demands on the assembly line – pushing the limits of cushioning and wire harnessing, as well as securing and laminating. And this is where our cutting-edge tesa® tapes can play a significant role in advancing product design and streamlining production.
