Adhesive tape cutting and rewinding

Adhesive tape cutting – rolls made to measure

Do you need adhesive tape in a width or running length that suits your component and application process? Krückemeyer GmbH cuts suitable roll material to application-specific dimensions and agrees the delivery format with you.

What adhesive tape cutting delivers

Adhesive tape cutting brings suitable parent material from a wide roll to the required tape width. If the running length and core also need to suit the application, the material can be rewound, or cut and rewound in one operation. The result is a tape roll suited to the intended manual or automated process.

The tape construction, required width and length, and core are decisive. The feasible format and cutting accuracy depend on the specific material. Krückemeyer therefore assesses the parent material and the intended use before selecting the cutting process and delivery format.

Roll cutting to the required width

A wide parent roll is divided into suitable tape widths. The possible width and cut quality depend on the material construction.

Details for your tape enquiry

Describe the component and application, the required tape or existing parent material, and the required tape width, running length and delivery format. Include the core diameter if your process depends on it, and state the required quantity.

A drawing, sample, or information about manual or automated processing helps us align the cut and winding with your application. If the material has not yet been selected, we can review suitable options with you.

Questions about adhesive tape cutting

Which adhesive tapes can be cut to a custom width?

Suitable tapes have a construction that permits the intended cut and winding. These can include single-sided tapes with film, fabric, foam or paper carriers and double-sided constructions with film, nonwoven, fabric or foam. Suitability also depends on the liner, core and required width. We therefore assess the specific parent material for your application.

What determines the feasible cutting width?

The cutting width depends on the specific tape construction and planned delivery format. Krückemeyer describes roll widths from 0.5 mm for suitable materials; this is not a general limit for every adhesive tape. Tell us the material, required width and core. We can then assess which format makes sense for your process.

When does slitting and rewinding make sense?

Slitting and rewinding makes sense when the running length and core must be specified as well as the tape width. It combines cutting and rewinding in one operation. To decide, we need the parent material and information on your process. If only a different width is needed, roll cutting may suffice; we assess the suitable option for each enquiry.

What information helps with an adhesive tape cutting enquiry?

Useful details include the application and component, the existing or required adhesive tape, tape width, running length, core, delivery format and quantity. Tell us whether the roll will be processed manually or automatically. A drawing or sample can help with specification. If any detail is still open, we can clarify the options together.
