Slim labels
on rolls or reels

If labels are processed on liner materials less than 20 mm wide, the ribbon needs protruding on both sides to prevent from folding. For this purpose, the label guide is offset by 7 mm with spacers.

Sample applications

PCB labeling

Package labeling

Container labeling

Functions

Details


1) Operation panel
Operating the device is intuitive and simple with the help of self-explanatory symbols to configure settings.

2) Ribbon holder
Three-part tightening axles enable the ribbon to be replaced quickly and easily.

3) Rugged metal chassis
Made of cast aluminium; basis to assemble all units.

4) Applicator assembly
They are mounted on hinge pins and can be pivoted in the case of material replacement or maintenance.

5) Plungers
One plunger is fixed on the inner side. A second one is moved that far to the label margin, until a good print image evokes.

6) Print head
All print heads are freely interchangeable at equal width. Easy replacement.

7) Automatic ribbon saving (option)
The print head is lifted during label feed and the ribbon is stopped.

8) Print roller removal
It can be easily removed or inserted in the cases of cleaning or wear.

9) Peel-off plate, pivoted
To improve label transfer onto packaging.

10) Label unwinder
By means of the swing lever and a brake integrated, labels are unwound with constant tension.

11) Liner tape rewinder
After all the labels have been transferred, the liner tape is fully rewound. The three-part tightening axle allows the liner tape to be inserted and removed easily.

12) Label sensor
A gap sensor or a reflective sensor position the imprint precisely on the label and detect the end of the material.

13) Imprint accuracy
The smaller a label, the higher are the requirements on the imprint accuracy. With the help of the adjustable slip correction, print offset can be reduced by ±0.2 mm.
