The taping machines are for a wide variety of applications designed to meet customers’ specific requirements. They include a new multi-purpose taping machine that will apply a variety of materials such as Kapton®, glass and varnish, Daglas and mica to round or flat conductors. There is also a new high-speed PTFE taping machine that will accept a wide range of cable and conductor sizes. A number of modular high-speed taping machines designed for maximum productivity and increased throughput per hour are also being manufactured. Ridgway Machines sales director Andy Clarke said: “Ridgway has recently moved to a new factory, invested in workforce and launched a new website. After a couple of years developing our new range of cable and conductor taping machinery it is very pleasing to be able to showcase them to the world. “The advanced technology on these machines sets them apart from our competitors and we look forward to welcoming visitors to our factory to demonstrate all the hard work our team has put into these new machines.”
