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

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.
- 120 D 410 V 124 L labeling head
410 mm maximum label roll diameter
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.
to detect particularly thin or transparent label materials.
cab systems developed for printing and applying labels provide proper features by default, fairly protecting your data in a network.

Upgrades
- Protocols such as MQTT as well as features like the masterencoder can be unlocked by key (online purchase).
Remote support
- Diagnostics service by use of an existing customer network
- Special software oscilloscope, maximum resolution 1 ms, for unlimited use during production
Integral Ethernet protocols for higher-level machine control systems
- MQTT, ModBus TCP
- OPC UA
- Profinet available from December 2025
- Access via PLC and an industrial PC to parameters, I/O signals, error messages
- Unlocked by key
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.
- Unlocked by key
