Engineering Technology Corp. (ETC, Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.) introduces its new line of next-generation Tape Wrappers, engineered for the demanding requirements of aerospace, defense and space exploration. With more than 60 years of experience producing tape-wrapping machines.

Tape-wrapping technology creates high-performance structures capable of withstanding extreme heat and pressure — critical characteristics in aerospace systems. As industry’s interest in carbon/phenolic materials grows, ETC has responded with a modernized, standardized line of Tape Wrappers that deliver enhanced tape placement accuracy, tighter process control and reduced operator involvement.

These new models are built to ensure optimal consistency and quality, even on complex geometries such as tapered and conical components. Improved automation and intelligent control systems streamline the entire process — from setup to execution — minimizing human error and maximizing production efficiency.

A significant step forward is the reduction in operator intervention, enabled by next-gen control interfaces and simplified machine operation. As a result, ETC’s Tape Wrappers are user-friendly and productive.

The product line includes two standard machine sizes, designed to wrap structures with maximum diameters of 30" or 60", with custom configurations available for larger applications. Each system is built for durability, accuracy and long-term performance, integrating automation and control technologies.

ETC is a member of Zoltek and the Toray Group. With more than 900 systems installed globally, ETC specializes in advanced filament winding, tape wrapping and automated production solutions.
