Stroke applicators HQ 4014, HQ 4016

Labels can be applied in real time from all sides to packages

The type of pad defines whether a package has to be at rest or can be in motion at the time a label is applied.

The pad locates in front of the peel-off plate. It picks up a label while it is being printed. The label is transferred to a package with the help of a stroke cylinder. The package is detected by a sensor and the pad returned to its initial position.

The length of the stroke cylinder defines the maximum distance of a package to the peel-off plate.

Blow-on pad
It benefits when labels have to be applied to sensitive surfaces or packages in motion. Labels are blown on by a blast of air.

Stroke cylinder adjustment enables bridging distances of 5 to 10 mm to the surface of a package.

Packages in motion

Roll-on pad
Labels are rolled on plane surfaces while these packages are in motion.

Packages in motion

Corner-wrap pad
Labels are applied to a package on two sides adjacent to one another. One half of a label is applied to the top of a package. Then the other half of the label is rolled on.
