Flexible. Cable-free. Immediately operational. The ZCM0800 by START International is the compact battery-powered tape dispenser for narrow adhesive tapes up to 25 mm wide with three preset fixed lengths (30 / 45 / 90 mm). Automatic feed, manual cut — no mains connection, no programming required. The ideal entry-level solution for low-volume tape applications in production, laboratory, and mobile environments. Made with Japanese components.
Series production demands consistency — the ZCM1000 by START International delivers it. This electric tape dispenser combines photocell automation, digital length presetting, and a proven guillotine cut into one compact industrial tool for tape widths from 7 to 51 mm and cut lengths from 20 to 999 mm. The included 3-in-1 core holder enables tool-free roll changes in seconds. Engineered in Japan, trusted worldwide — for wire harnessing, PCB masking, assembly, and beyond.
The START International ZCM1100K is an electric tape dispenser designed for operations where safety, precision, and ease of use are critical. Unlike standard models, the ZCM1100K features an integrated safety guard that reliably protects the operator during the cutting process. It also includes a unique creaser function, which facilitates bending and removing the tape – a clear advantage in fast, repetitive workflows. Handling tape widths from 13 to 30 mm, the dispenser accommodates a wide range of industrial tapes and delivers consistently accurate, adjustable lengths. Its automatic feed and cut mechanism minimizes material waste and significantly increases efficiency. These features set the ZCM1100K apart from simpler dispensers, making it the ideal choice for medium to high-volume production where productivity, ergonomics, and safety are equally important.
VHB™ tapes, foam adhesives, and double-sided high-tack materials are the ultimate test for any tape dispenser. The ZCM1000-NS by START International passes it — with Teflon-coated non-stick advancement rollers that feed and precisely cut aggressive adhesive tapes from 7 to 51 mm wide at lengths from 20 to 999 mm, without jamming, wrapping, or adhesive build-up. Photocell automation, digital LED presetting and the proven ZCM1000 industrial platform — for automotive, electronics, renewables, and beyond.
Narrow tapes demand a dispenser built for their dimensions. The ZCM1000B by START International features a purpose-built specialty advancement roller that reliably guides, feeds, and precisely cuts adhesive tapes from 3 to 25 mm wide at lengths from 20 to 999 mm — without lateral drift, slippage, or misfeeds. Photocell automation, digital LED presetting and the proven ZCM1000 industrial platform — the reference solution for narrow tape applications in electronics, wire harness manufacturing, and precision assembly worldwide.
Glass cloth tapes and other flimsy adhesive materials demand a dispenser built for them. The ZCM1000C by START International features a modified specialty cutting head that reliably guides, feeds, and precisely cuts structured and lightweight tapes from 7 to 51 mm wide at lengths from 20 to 999 mm. Photocell automation, digital LED presetting and the proven ZCM1000 industrial platform — optimised for challenging materials in electronics, automotive, and energy manufacturing.
Where standard dispensers stop, the ZCM1000D by START International begins. A purpose-built custom circuit board enables this electric tape dispenser to cut pieces down to a minimum length of just 5 mm — across the full tape width range of 7 to 51 mm and a cut range of 5 to 999 mm. Digital LED presetting, photocell automation and the proven ZCM1000 industrial platform — engineered for precision manufacturing, electronics, and micro-assembly worldwide.
