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.
High-volume production demands heavy-duty equipment. The TDA080 by START International is an electric industrial tape dispenser with all-metal construction, four operating modes, and a tape width range of 6 to 80 mm at cut lengths up to 9,999 mm. Feed speed 16.8 cm/s, digital length setting, integrated safety interlock. The proven heavy-duty platform for automotive, electronics, packaging, and aerospace — engineered in the USA, CE certified.
Workplace safety and dispensing precision in a single machine. The ZCM1100 by START International combines the proven ZCM1000 dispensing process with an active safety guard cutting head that physically blocks the cutting mechanism whenever foreign objects are present in the blade area. Tape widths 7–51 mm, cut lengths 30–999 mm, digital LED presetting, photocell automation — the reference solution for safety-conscious production environments with medium to high throughput. Made in Japan, CE certified.
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.
Protective films demand a dispenser that treats surfaces with care. The ZCM1000NM by START International features specially coated non-marking advancement rollers that feed and cut film-based tapes from 7 to 51 mm wide at lengths from 20 to 999 mm — without leaving a single mark on the surface. Photocell automation, digital LED presetting and the proven ZCM1000 industrial platform — the standard solution for display protection, automotive surfaces, electronics, and battery manufacturing 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.
