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.
Adhesive tape tabs with a non-stick grip flap — fast, manual, no power required. The TAB100 by START International is a manual tab dispenser that produces tape pieces with an automatically folded, non-adhesive grip end via a single hand lever pull. Tape width 12–25 mm, adjustable cut length 50–210 mm, solid metal housing. The simplest solution for tabs in laboratory, quality control, and packaging applications.
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.
Two tapes. One cut. Maximum efficiency. The TDA080-LAM by START International laminates two tape rolls simultaneously, feeds the combined tape, and cuts it precisely to the programmed length — in a single automated step. Tape width 6–51 mm, cut lengths 40–9,999 mm, four operating modes. The industrial solution for motor manufacturing, coil winding, and combined tape applications worldwide. Engineered in the USA, CE certified.
Lined adhesive tapes without manual liner peeling. The TDA080-LR by START International combines Heavy-Duty tape dispensing with an integrated automatic liner remover — ideal for aluminium tapes and all lined adhesive tapes up to 51 mm wide. Cut lengths 40–9,999 mm, four operating modes, ±1 mm accuracy. No manual peeling — clean process, maximum throughput. Engineered in the USA, CE certified.
