<p>A tape applicator device capable of drawing adhesive tape from a roll (100) without direct human intervention. The device incorporates sensors which locate an end edge of the tape on the roll and position a blade which lifts the edge for gripping. The device also holds the roll, pulls the tape and presses it to an object surface, and cuts through the tape after each discrete portion of tape is applied to the surface. Typically the device will be mounted as an end effector unit on a robot arm under control of a general purpose micro controller. The method of operation followed by the device reduces damage to the tape while lifting the end edge and while pulling tape from the roll.</p> |
