CHANGING THE SHAPE OF TAPE

Our precision slitting capabilities

Bristol Tape is dedicated to making sure every cut we make is precise, accurate and meets your exact specifications. We match our equipment to fit your specific need, using the optimal slitting method for your application. Depending on the material being converted, we can work with a range of core sizes and will partner with your engineers to understand your application requirements. Our slitting capabilities include:

Lathe slitting

This technique involves affixing a log roll of tape to a mandrel and spinning it while a single circular blade is used to make precise cuts. This process is ideal for those who need very narrow widths or varying widths within a single web.

Rewind slitting

Rewind slitting sees material unwound from its core before being slit by a series of blades and then rewound onto new cores. This method is useful for applications where multiple core sizes are needed in the converted products.

Rotary slitting

In this method, tape material passes between two circular blades that are mounted to two parallel arbors. This technique is preferable for large-scale projects because it is often faster than other slitting methods.
