The CAM Innovation's Taping Machine is needed to support the cable and wire harness fabrication and overhaul efforts at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). The CAM Innovation taping machine is the only compact bench top taping machine known to meet the requirement of the Electrical Cable

Branch at TYAD for taping wire harnesses and cable assemblies for government and military use.

There are no other compact bench top taping machines known in the United States to meet the shops requirements because they cannot accommodate the tape sizes or speeds of the CAM Innovations machine. The machines available from other vendors capable of handling the tape sizes and speed are much larger and not compact bench top units. Also, the fact that the shop already has a CAM

Innovation's taping machine in use, and is familiar with the operation and function of this particular taping machine, purchasing this CAM Innovations machine will save the shop time and material.
