An apparatus and method for stretch wrapping of a palletized load uses film tension feedback derived from a film tension control load cell to control film dispensation. The load cell measures film tension and the film payout rates is determined by the film tension. Film tension values are used to determine when an out of bounds condition occurs, namely, when a film break has occurred, or when a possible film break is about to occur or when the film has been cut at the end of a wrapping cycle. To prevent film free end entanglement caused by a break, clamps engage the film so the film tail is controlled, eliminating the risk of recoil. The broken film tail may then be quickly and reliably reattached to the rotating load in a desired position.

A tape releasing device includes a reel support section and a release section. The reel support section is configured to support a reel in which an outer peripheral portion of a spiral tape, where a carrier tape, in which a cover tape that closes an accommodation section that accommodates an electronic component is attached to a base tape provided with the accommodation section, is spirally wound, and a tip end portion of the cover tape are fixed by a fixing tape. The release section releases the fixing tape of the reel supported by the reel support section.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a coil-wrapping system (30) that simultaneously employs separate multiple film rolls (FR1, FR2) to simultaneously wrap separate films around a single coil while the coil is rotated about its longitudinal axis.
