The quality of a basketball rim directly affects how people experience a basketball game. The joint between the rim and the backboard requires foam tape. Automatic foam tape application on basketball backboards places high demands on automation equipment and falls into the category of custom non-standard equipment. Because backboards are large, the tape applicator needs considerable power, and its overall layout must also take into account integration with the steps before and after tape application. The automatic foam tape applicator independently developed by Wanzhi meets the foam tape requirements for basketball backboards.
