Label printers MACH 4S
for industrial applications
The MACH 4S provide all features of an industrial printer with a wide application range. The print mechanics and the chassis are made of high-quality materials and perfectly match in terms of shape and function.
The large, coloured touch display with self-explanatory symbols offers best operability. Labels and ribbons are easy to insert from the front. The centered material guide eliminates any need of adjustments.
The high-tech electronic board integrates all the needed interfaces as standard and is ready for any connection.
Sample applications
PCB labels
When only little space is available – smallest label size 5 x 5 mm
Type plates
Pin sharp fonts, graphics and barcodes up to 600 dpi
Cardboard box and pallet labels
up to a passage width of 120 mm
Type B with tear-off edge
for printing on all materials that are wound on rolls, reels or fanfold.
| 1.1 Label printer | MACH 4.3S | |
| Printable resolution dpi | 203 | 300 |
| Print width up to mm | 108 | 105,7 |
| Print speed up to mm/s | 127 | 102 |
Type P with peel-off function
for printing on all materials that are wound on rolls, reels or fanfold. In addition, the labels can be dispensed.
| 1.2 Label printer | MACH 4.3S | |
| Printable resolution dpi | 203 | 300 |
| Print width up to mm | 108 | 105,7 |
| Print speed up to mm/s | 177 | 127 |
Type C with cutter
for printing on all materials that are wound on rolls, reels or fanfold. From 12 mm in height, the labels and continuous materials can be cut.
| 1.3 Label printer | MACH 4.3S | |
| Printable resolution dpi | 203 | 300 |

| Print speed up to mm/s | 177 | 127 |
Details
1) Cover with a large panoramic window
It can be opened wide. The integrated damping mechanism provides smooth closing. Label stock is visible at any time.
2) Roll holder
The label roll is put onto the holder and, at this, is automatically centered. Materials of different widths can be placed within the box.
3) Ribbon holder
The ribbon is pushed onto the spring-mounted holder and is centered by means of a margin stop and the position indication. The insertion in the print mechanics is simple and comfortable.
4) Print mechanics
It opens at the push of a button and offers easy access.
5) Print heads
All print heads are freely interchangeable. They are automatically detected and calibrated by the CPU. Major data such as running performance, maximum operating temperature and heat energy are directly stored in the print head. The data can be read at the plant.
6) Gap sensor
It is arranged for labels or punch marks and end of material as well as for print marks in a centered position. In case of multi-track labels, you can switch to a sensor that is shifted 10 mm to the left.
7) Material guide
With the lateral retaining wheel the width is adjusted. At this, the labels are centered.
8) Reflective sensor
Labels and end of material as well as print marks are identified by the slideable sensor.
9) Print roller DR4
It can be quickly and easily unlocked in few steps for cleaning or replacement. Coating: synthetic rubber
To achieve accurate imprint with slim materials and ribbons slim print rollers are needed. These prevent from print roller wear, print head contamination and errors during material feed.
10) Peel-off function (with “P” type)
The carrier tape is lead down behind the operation panel. The label separates from the carrier tape at the peel-off edge.
