Splice Detection & Identification Overview
In web processing, splices are necessary and often require precise detection or identification. The integrity of a splice is essential to maintaining processing speed and reducing material waste. The selection of splicing tape is influenced by several factors, including splice format (butt or overlap) and whether the tape is single or double-coated.
Automated Splice Detection Methods
There are various automated methods for detecting splices, from light reflection to metal detection. Englewood Industrial Solutions offers a range of splicing tapes that enhance both sensitivity and visual detection, tailored to improve efficiency in your processes.
Color as a Splice Identification Tool
The color of splicing tape can serve as an effective method for identifying splices. Red is the most common color used for splice detection, available in both single and double-coated tapes for easy recognition.
Flagging & Tabbing for Splice Identification
Flagging or tabbing with colored tape on the web edge is another method for identifying splices or defects. A wide selection of colors is available when the tape is not part of the actual splice, offering flexibility in your detection process.
Foil Tapes for Enhanced Detection
Foil tapes can be used as part of the splice or added as a flag to the web edge, enhancing visibility for easy detection.
Custom Fabrication for Improved Splice Recognition
Englewood Industrial Solutions can custom-fabricate single or double-coated tapes with added color strips or foil, improving the recognition of splices by automatic sensors for streamlined detection.
