Visitors to the AM Labels Warehouse. & Yard. exhibition stand were able to see the LabelPack Panda print and apply system in action. The high performance, industrial solution is designed to be integrated with thermal transfer print engines and can support companies in streamlining their operations.
The innovative print and apply system is available from AM Labels as either a four inch label width model for maximum label dimensions of up to 110 x 150 mm, as well as a six inch label width version for maximum label dimensions of up to 150 x 210 mm. Both versions benefit from a maximum roll diameter of up to 300 mm. Designed to be integrated with thermal transfer print engines from various leading manufacturers including SATO, Zebra and TSC, the print and apply solution utilises a motorised liner re-winder and features an anti-rotating linear applicator with a 300 mm stroke as standard.
The high performance system is ideal for use by companies printing variable batches or those that require different labels to be attached to different products, such as in distribution or logistics sectors where businesses are printing and applying shipping labels.
In addition to benefitting from an intuitive operator panel with a colour touch screen to display and store key parameters, the LabelPack Panda print and apply system enables users to choose from two application methods to apply labels onto the chosen product packaging. Labels can be applied via a pressure sensitive method, where the label is applied using a vacuum plate which physically touches the product. The vacuum plate is spring loaded and a microswitch stops the piston as soon as the plate touches the product. Alternatively, the system also benefits from a proximity detector, which detects when the vacuum plate is approaching the product, where upon it blows the label onto the product without the vacuum plate physically touching it. This method is ideal for labelling delicate packaging.
The Panda print and apply system comes complete with USB and LAN connectivity and an Input/Output (IO) Connector, which enables the label applicator to be used in conjunction with additional devices including a product sensor, E-Stop device and a three colour warning lamp. Additionally, to improve productivity and reduce downtime, alarms and external signal interfaces will notify the user of any errors with the system or the printer.
