Serial interface
– Almost all of the setting values can be read out and
modified on an external device, the machine status
can be queried, and the machine can be controlled
via this interface.
– For further information, refer to the Service guide
Roll diameter control
– A sensor at the unwind unit monitors the diameter of
the label roll and, along with it, the supply of labels.
– The sensor sends a signal when the diameter of the
label roll reaches a set value.
– This sensor is required if two labellers are operating
in tandem mode (see chapter Operation – Activation
and shut-down, page 46)
Adjustable dispensing edge
– The position of the dispenser head can be adjusted
vertically.
– This allows adapting the position of the dispensing
edge to changing products.
– The machine does not have to be moved to adjust
the dispensing edge, the labelling head of the ma-
chine does not have to be released.
Spring-loaded dispensing edge
– The dispensing edge is pivotably mounted onto the
dispenser head. A torsion spring in the dispenser
head presses the dispensing edge downward onto
the surface of the product.
– Enables height differences between the products or
surface characteristics differences to be compen-
sated for.
Pneumatic dispensing edge
– The dispensing edge is pivotably mounted onto the
dispenser head. Compressed air presses the dis-
pensing edge downward onto the surface of the
product.
– Enables height differences between the products or
surface characteristics differences to be compen-
sated for.
Printer
– Inkjet or heat transfer printer at the dispenser head.
Applicator
If direct labelling from the dispensing edge is not possi-
ble, the labeller can be equipped with an applicator.
Various kinds of applicators are available depending on
the customer’s needs.
Water-resistant electronic control unit
– Protected against splashing water as per type of
protection IP54
– The control electronics, drive electrical system,
electrical fuses and operator panel are built into a
