A+ and A1000
Print & Apply in real-time
The Applicator A1000 represents in combination with the thermal printers A2+, A4+ and A6+ the inexpensive solution both for semi-automatic labeling and for the integration into automated production lines. The labels are transferred with a pad, which moves between the two positions, starting position and labelling position, by a compressed-air driven pneumatic cylinder.

Funktions and advantages
In conjunction with the A2+, A4+ and A6+ printers, the A1000 applicator represents a cost-effective solution for both semiautomatic operation and for integration into automated production lines.
1. Long service life
The ball-bearing guide bars are low-wear.
2. Variable product heights
The lift cylinder allows labelling in different heights. It is available in different stroke-lengths.
3. Easy adjustment
The tamp pad can be adjusted in alignment with the peel-off plate using four screws. Processing control is optimized during testing using the operation panel.
4. Pre-dispense button
Tests the labeling function. Pushing the button the first time causes the label to be printed and held by the pad. Pushing the button again starts the application.
5. Compressed air regulation unit
The microfilters prevent contamination and the compressed air regulator ensures the labelling quality.
6. High process reliability
The supporting air jet stream, induction air and lifting speed can be adjusted. The pressure can be reduced to less than 1 kg for highly sensitive products and packaging. To avoid contamination of the vacuum holes, they are cleaned with air pressure after each application.
7. Real-time application
Labels with a height of 25-200 mm and a width of 25-176 mm can be dispensed.
Digital I/O-Interface
The master (e.g. PLC) starts or stops the labelling process. The status and error messages are issued at the same time.
Stand-alone operation
The layout of the labels is created either with the label software or directly on the PC. Label formats, fonts and graphic data, serial data and data base contents are saved on the CF memory card or on the internal IFFS printer memory. Only the variable data is sent to the printer via keyboard or host computer before being printed out.

1. Tamp pad
The product remains fixed in place during application. The vacuum holes of the universal tamp pads are covered by a foil that is pierced according to the label size. The tamp pads are adjusted to the external dimensions of the labels.
2. Blow pad
The label can be blown on for pressure-sensitive products. The labels can be applied to either a fixed or moving product. The product to be printed is positioned approximately 10 mm below the blow pad.
3. Roll-on pad
The label is moved under the roll during application. The pad moves onto the product and the label is rolled on during transportation.
4. Base frame
The base frame is customized according to the width and height requirements. The labeling system is fixed in place with two pins.
5. Roll-on application
For labeling round products with diameters of up to 40 mm. The product is pushed onto the rolls. The labeling process is started by pressing the hand or foot switch.
6. Dispensing module for roll-on application
For labeling packaging on the conveyor belt. The conveyor speed must be synchronized with the print speed. It is suitable for labels with a width up to 116 mm and a length up to 200 mm. Further technical details can be provided on request.
7. The stand for flexible printer mounting
The stand enables the printer to be integrated quickly and flexibly into any manufacturing line. The height and width of the labeling position can be adjusted with ease. Four guide rollers on the chassis ensure mobility. The stand is adjusted at the place of installation using adjustable feet.
Printing and dispensing on demand
A hand or foot switch or a product sensor can be attached at the applicator's digital I/O interface to start the print jobs.
1. Present trigger
Starts printing and dispensing.
2. Foot switch
Starts printing and dispensing.
3. Product sensor
For automatic product detection on the conveyor belt.
4. Sub-D plug
Connection of the external control signals for automatic operation. Sub-D plug 15-pole with screw clamps.
5. External panel
If the panel is not accessible anymore, e.g. after installation within a facility, it is possible to install an external panel. Additionally there is a slot for a CF memory card Type 1 and a USB Master interface.
