DIY Pallet Tape Dispenser for Manual Presses

[screenxpress]

I've seen some other devices, but none allowed me to do it the way I wanted.

I wanted to be able to "pull" the tape to cover the pallet so I built this little tape holding bracket that clamps into the press. 

The welding isn't the best, but it is functional.

Note roll of tape is slid over to see the tape holder

G.E.N.I.U.S..... Genius!!!!!

Clever. One of those "why didn't I think of that" moments.

I don't actually use pallet tape, I don't mind cleaning the 6 I have when needed. But when I eventually do get around to using some, I'm bootlegging your design.

Far classier than my "5 minute solution" (that still is way ahead of my old method of struggling with a hand-held or balancing roll.

Great idea!

This is such a great forum you learn something new everyday, anything to make a job a little faster or easier is welcomed.

Needs to mount on the machine

YEah, definitely need on that can go on a print arm, have some sort of one step clamp that clamps to the arm, pull your tape on, cut, squeegee down, trim, unclamp, lift, index, start over. Taking pallets on and off a 16 station or higher machine to re-tape would really suck, it takes long enough just re-taping =). Come Action, you guys can do it!!!

Mind blown.

That is awesome! I place mine on the arm and bring the clamp down to rest on top of it. Then I can pull and roll it out.

Here are some simple pics of just the device itself.  Easy to make if you have access to some welding stuff.

It did take a couple of attempts  to get the angle down.

I can post some dimensions if anyone is interested.

Simply brilliant, brilliantly simple. I have to agree with the "Why didn't I think of that?" comment. It's like that solution was hiding in plain sight, and you found it. Good job!
