GLOBAL designs robotic tape applicator systems that place anti-chip tape, protective films, and other materials with repeatable accuracy on complex components. From engineered robot paths and end-of-arm tooling to material-flow tuning and real-time verification, we build solutions around your production requirements. Improve placement consistency, reduce manual variability, and support dependable throughput across demanding automotive and industrial manufacturing environments.
Custom tape application, vision verification, and integration services for consistent, production-ready material placement.
Custom robotic cells apply anti-chip tape, protective film, and masking materials along complex contours. GLOBAL engineers robot paths, tooling, fixtures, and material delivery around part geometry, cycle time, and production requirements.
Integrated vision and flow monitoring verify tape placement, width, continuity, and alignment in real time. Catch missed paths or off-spec application before parts move to downstream manufacturing operations.
GLOBAL manages system design, simulation, controls, build, installation, commissioning, training, and support. Your tape automation cell is developed as a complete solution, not a collection of disconnected components.
Manual tape application can introduce variation, rework, and difficult-to-track quality issues. GLOBAL engineers robotic tape applicator systems that follow complex three-dimensional panel contours with controlled speed, positioning, and material delivery. FANUC robots, custom end-of-arm tooling, and integrated controls create a repeatable process built for your parts and output targets. Optional vision inspection validates placement and continuity in real time, protecting downstream quality and keeping production moving.
A single automation partner for the system and the engineers behind it.
One team manages layout, design, build, programming, validation, installation, commissioning, training, and long-term support.
FANUC-based automation is engineered for demanding, high-precision manufacturing environments and complex production requirements.
AI-assisted simulation helps identify issues earlier and accelerates robot programming before on-site deployment begins.
GLOBAL combines robotic integration with technical staffing, providing implementation support and skilled automation professionals.
Engineering automation solutions from concept through production support.
GLOBAL Automation Technologies was founded in 2009 to solve manufacturing problems through automation. We recognized that manufacturers often needed more than a robotic system: they also needed qualified people to implement, operate, and support it. GLOBAL combined automation solutions, services and technical staffing under one roof, creating a single-source model for both the system and the engineers who keep it running. Today, our 110+ team members work across simulation, controls, robotics, installation, commissioning, and technical staffing. With offices in four countries, projects completed in 22 countries, and 700+ FANUC robots installed, we bring practical experience to demanding automotive, industrial, and heavy-equipment applications. Our vision remains direct: deliver end-to-end automation that helps factories maintain quality, productivity, and momentum. In the last five years, the team has delivered 745+ automation projects across 140+ manufacturing facilities.
A robotic tape applicator system uses an industrial robot, specialized end-of-arm tooling, controls, and material-delivery equipment to apply tape accurately to a part. It is commonly used for anti-chip tape, protective film, masking, and similar materials. The system follows programmed paths that match the component’s contours, creating more repeatable placement than manual application while supporting production-rate requirements.
