Easy, consistent, accurate case sealing every time

Since the combination of box sealing tape and taping head determine closure performance, 3M is continually improving both to meet your requirements for productivity and reliability.

The 3M™ AccuGlide™ Taping Head 2+ features the patented curvilinear design for low impact that helps protect carton and contents. Even lightweight cartons are securely and carefully sealed. And now there are pluses:

• Low profile side plate for faster, easier threading
• Open tape path for faster, easier threading
• Light weight for easy handling and removal
• Easy-to-follow instructional labeling to clearly show tape path
• Buffing and applying rollers designed for easy removal
• Available in stainless steel
  For use in high-moisture and corrosive environments

Tape drum latch

• Secures roll for stability and positive tape alignment
• Press to release for easy roll change

Friction brake drum

• Maintains proper tape tension and prevents over-coasting for smooth, secure tape application

Rugged construction

• Epoxy powder coated steel for durability. Performed to specifications for over 3.5 million cycles in testing.

As the case moves across the head, the applying roller adheres the tape to the case and continues to roll the tape against the case. Concurrently, the case lifts the cutoff bracket. When the case clears the cutoff bracket, the bracket springs down, allowing the blade to cut the tape. The buffering roller adheres the cut end of the tape to the trailing end of the case. As the case exits the head, the rollers return to the starting position ready for the next case.

3M AccuGlide™ Taping Heads are specifically designed to work most effectively with high quality, pressure-sensitive 3M box sealing tapes. You get a strong, secure seal with each application of 3M box sealing tape to ensure that your shipments arrive intact. And with the many 3M box sealing tapes available - from general use to cold temperature tapes to high performance, in colors or custom printed - you're sure to find the tape that meets your needs.

Choose taping heads designed to meet your application requirements

The taping head you select is determined by several factors: the type of equipment you have, case orientation, the speed of the ease in feet per minute and the number of cases per shift, day, week and year. For example, the AccuGlide™ STD, NWT and AccuGlide™ II STD taping heads should be used for line speeds under 80 feet per minute. The AccuGlide™ HST taping head can be used for speeds up to 150 feet per minute and in heavy duty, multi-shift or continuous operations. Side-mounted taping heads and powered drive assemblies are also available. All 3M taping heads apply a "C" clip of pressure-sensitive tape to the center seam of your cases.

The AccuGlide™ STD taping head has a linear track to guide the applying and buffing roller linkage, insuring smooth and consistent application pressure. Its compact size and simplicity of design make it ideal for replacement of other types of taping, gluing or stapling heads in existing case sealing machines.

This taping head has the same features as the AccuGlide™ STD taping head. It is constructed of stainless steel for applications in humid plant conditions or high and low temperature environments, such as in meat packing plants or other food service industries. It is not recommended for areas where direct high pressure wash down is required.

Our newest and most advanced taping head. Its curvilinear track for the applying and buffing linkage insures that even lightweight cases are securely and carefully sealed. Designed for taping applications with conveyor speeds up to 80 feet per minute. It provides positive tape starting and precise tape application to the center seams of cases. Its compact size and simplicity of design make it ideal for mounting into other conveying systems. This includes replacement of other types of taping, gluing or stapling heads in existing case sealing machines.
