Adhesive technology has established itself as a powerful alternative to mechanical joining methods, particularly when it comes to fastening add-on components. In modern vehicle manufacturing, it has become indispensable: beyond reducing weight, the technology convinces through its flexibility and versatility, making it a key technology across industries.

As an expert in automation and robotics, AKE technologies has extensive experience in the field of tape and foam tape application. With numerous customized systems developed across various levels of automation, we provide tailor-made solutions for the automated processing and application of single- and double-sided adhesive tapes. Our systems are used across different industries and are successfully implemented in cooperation with renowned manufacturers such as Tesa SE.

From concept design and simulation to mechanical and electrical engineering, manufacturing, programming, and commissioning, everything at AKE technologies comes from a single source. Our experienced team combines technical expertise, flexibility, and innovation to create customized systems perfectly aligned with each customer’s specific requirements.

Foam Tape Application

Single-sided adhesive foam and profile tapes are used in a wide range of industries – for example, for sealing doors and windows, as dust seals in control cabinets, for sound insulation, or in sheet metal processing.
In the automotive industry, technical foams take on demanding tasks: they control water, temperature, and noise, while also meeting high aesthetic and design standards.

To meet the growing demand for durable and secure adhesive bonds, AKE technologies offers complete automation solutions for foam tape application.
Our approach combines process reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness – going far beyond conventional adhesive application.
