# Tape material applicator and computer program

## Abstract

The invention provides a tape material applicator and computer program capable of applying relatively short tape materials and reducing the difficulty in tape application. The tape material applicator unit ( 60 ), mounted on the sixth axis of a robot, includes a disc-shaped member ( 50 ) and a roller swing mechanism ( 80 ). The tape material clamping device ( 200 ), attached to the disc-shaped member ( 50 ), clamps one end ( 304 ) of the tape material ( 300 ), while the guide ( 100 ) attached to the roller swing mechanism ( 80 ), holds the other end ( 305 ) of the tape material ( 300 ). The roller ( 90 ) presses the tape material ( 300 ) onto the workpiece ( 40 ). The tape material ( 300 ) is applied from one end ( 304 ) to the other end ( 305 ) along the application path by pressing with the roller ( 90 ), while maintaining the unattached part of the tape material ( 300 ) elevated from the workpiece ( 40 ).
