ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (10) applies adhesive tape to workpieces. A nest plate (52) receives a workpiece (20). A clamp plate (53) holds the workpiece (20) relative to said nest plate (52). A stage (73) holds a leading portion of a continuous tape (12). A first mover (58) moves the nest plate (52) and the workpiece (20) relative to the stage (73) and the tape (12) to engage the workpiece (20) with the leading portion of the tape (12) and affix the leading portion of the tape (12) to the workpiece (20). A second mover (45) moves said nest plate (52), the workpiece (20) and the affixed portion of the tape (12) relative to the stage (73). A sever mechanism (62) severs the affixed portion of the tape from a remaining portion of the tape (12). The clamp plate (52) releases the workpiece (20). A third mover (87) moves the workpiece (20) and the affixed portion of the tape (12) relative to said nest plate (52) to remove the workpiece (20) from said nest plate (52).
