Print and apply in real time: used in all kinds of industry

Hermes+ with applicator 4014L 200
Hermes+ with applicator 4014L 200

The Hermes+ is the result of more than 30 years of product development and technical know-how. The system is especially designed for fully-automated print and apply processes in production lines. Precise label positioning and a robust design make the Hermes+ the choice for 24/7 industrial labeling applications.

No matter how you turn it: Apply bottom to top, top to bottom or from either side: The Hermes+ prints and applies in any installation position and can therefore be integrated in all kinds of production lines.

Host connection or stand-alone operation: For both, host connection or stand-alone operation software tools are available. Direct programming is possible by using the cab printer language J-Script. Label layout, graphics and special fonts can be downloaded to the CompactFlash Memory Card.

Various applicators are available for the precise applying in real time of very small to medium sized labels.

cab and SAP
Integrate cab printers into SAP R/3

Controlling cab label printers quickly and easily from SAP R/3 using SAPScript.

We show you the benefits

1. Large graphic display

White backlight guarantees clarity of display. Depending on the fitting position the display can be turned in steps of 90°.

2. Navigator pad

Simple, interactive menue control. Applicable functions are illuminated. Menue handling is easy to comprehend.

3. Ribbon retainer

The threepart tightening axles allow a fast and easy ribbon exchange.

4. Solid, buckling resistant metal chassis

It is made of dye-cast aluminium. All devices are assembled to it.

5. Assembly applicator

The applicator is assembled on hinges and can be exchanged easily.

6. Printing offset

After exchanging the label roll the printing position is set up automatically after a few printed labels. The label position is stored, even if the machine is turned off.

7. Printhead

The printhead can be exchanged easily. Adjustments and setups are not necessary.

8. Ribbon saver

It is used for labels which are only partially printed. The printhead is lifted off in the plain area and the ribbon is stopped during label feed.

9. Transport system

The ball bearing transport rollers ensure a highly accurate printing and the precise feeding of labels.

10. Label unwinder

The swing lever and the integrated brake make sure that the labels are unwound with constant tension.

11. Rewinder

The liner of a label roll is rewound after the labels have been peeled off. The clamping shafts enable an easy exchange of the roll.
 

12. Printing direction

All Hermes+ devices with applicators are available in left or right print direction.

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.
