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.
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.
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.
Within a copier or printer, cables need to be bundled neatly and insulated well to ensure reliability. When it comes to wire harnessing, our single-sided plastic and cloth tapes provide both flexibility and ensure good insulation. We offer tapes that have high tensile strength as well as a conformable backing that sticks to irregular surfaces.
Foam is commonly used in printers and copiers as a damper and cushion for effective shock absorption. Plastic and non-woven tapes can be used to insulate against noise and dampen or absorb shocks.
When it comes to securing ink cartridges, non-woven tapes are ideally suited to the job, as they bond strongly to the PET liner, are flexible, and extremely conformable. The user should be able to remove the protective tape by hand, yet it should also be tear resistant. So, we work with manufacturers to supply tapes with reliable bonding strength, as well as a high level of shear and temperature resistance.
Masking and surface protection tapes protect glass, plastic, and painted metal parts to avoid scratches, dirt, and other defects during the assembly, transport, and installation process.
Secure parts for transport with our strapping solutions. The tape absorbs some of the load so that heavy impacts do not affect moving parts, preventing damage.
The range includes masking and surface protection tapes for protecting parts during assembly, strapping tapes for securing parts during transport, non-woven tapes for fixing document sponges and bonding scanner glass, and double-sided plastic tapes for mounting emblems and displays.
Yes, we offer adhesive solutions that have a conformable backing improving the adhesive wetting to bond to rough surfaces and can be die-cut for precise application.
tesa® tapes are available specifically tested and designed to be resistant to aging, temperature, moisture, and shock, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the bond.
tesa® strapping tapes are used to secure parts and absorb some of the load during transport, reducing potential damage to the machines. tesa® carton sealing tapes can be used for box closure and are also available as more sustainable versions.
The conformability and die-cutting capabilities of these tapes make them ideal for precisely and cleanly bonding even small plastic or rubber parts to substrates.
