1 Rewinder
The liner is wound when labels have been dispensed. A pendulum arm and an integral clutch keep the liner under constant tension in subsequence to the drive roller.

2 Unwinder
picking up label rolls with a maximum diameter of 410 mm. A pendulum arm and an integral brake keep a label web under constant tension.

3 Sleeve retainer
Turning the handle tensions and releases the label roll sleeve.

4 Counterholder
for securing and guiding a label roll when installed in vertical orientation. For this purpose, the sleeve retainer is designed 62 mm longer than in horizontal installation.

5 Base unit
It is the center of a labeling head and contains the drive roller for feeding a label web, a brushless servo motor and the system control including the operation panel.

6 Operation panel
Color 3.5" LCD touchscreen , rotation by 180° enables overhead installation.

7 Pick-up spots
for assembly onto columns with a diameter of 30 mm. Label positions on a product can thus be set transversely to its direction of running.

8 Demand unit
It can be configured for specific applications using a comprehensive modular system.

 

Labeling head IXOR

Motoric unwinders and rewinders

for label webs running as fast as

  • 75 m/min with a mechanical unwinder, motoric rewinder
  • 120 m/min with a motoric unwinder and a motoric rewinder, 200 m/min upon request

Unwinder: roll diameter 410 mm / 510 mm upon request

Modular construction: A base unit, unwinder and rewinder are installed on a mounting bar. The modules can be positioned also on a carrier plate according to customer specifications.

1 Mechanical or motoric unwinder
picking up label rolls with a maximum diameter of 410 mm (510 mm upon request). With a motoric unwinder in use, the roll is driven by an integral brushless torque motor. The label web unwinds according to the pendulum arm.

2 Counterholder
for securing and guiding a label roll when installed in vertical orientation. For this purpose, the sleeve retainer is designed 62 mm longer than in horizontal installation.

3 Mounting bar
for assembling a base unit, motoric unwinder, rewinder

4 Deflection rollers
They are guiding a label web from a motoric unwinder to the base unit.

5 Motoric rewinder
The liner is wound when labels have been dispensed. A pendulum arm and an integral brushless torque motor keep a label web under constant tension in subsequence to the drive roller. Any kind of installation

6 Pick-up spots
for assembly onto a column stand.
Label positions on a product can thus be set transversely to its direction of running.

7 Demand unit
It can be configured specific to applications using a comprehensive modular system.

Redundancy

  • Two labeling heads can be operated redundantly and continually in an Ethernet network.
  • While one dispenser actively applies labels onto items, another unit is on standby. In cases of a malfunction on an active unit (e.g. a label web ending), the second takes over immediately.
  • All items located between the units are labeled.
  • The product sensor and the rotary encoder each are provided once for both labeling heads. Signals are transmitted to both labeling heads via a distributor.
  • An adapter is required for Ethernet connection.
