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.
Two tape rolls. One machine. Full synchronisation. The ZCM1000E by START International combines a dual cutting head with two independent photocells to dispense two rolls simultaneously — the next feed cycle triggers only once both pieces have been removed. Tape widths 7–51 mm, cut lengths 20–999 mm, digital LED presetting. The most efficient solution for workstations with parallel tape requirements — on the proven ZCM1000 industrial platform.
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.
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.
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.
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.
