HQ 4014, HQ 4016 stroke applicators for linerless
Labels are applied in real time preferably onto packages
The type of pad defines whether a package has to be at rest or may be in motion at the time a label is applied. Labels can be applied from all sides.
The pad locates in front of the peel-off plate. Printed labels are taken over and set onto packages by a stroke cylinder. A sensor detects each package and triggers the pad 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
Labels are blown onto sensitive surfaces or packages in motion by a blast of air. Distances of 5 mm to 10 mm to of a package are set by a stop on the stroke cylinder.
Roll-on pad
Labels are rolled onto plane packages in motion.
Corner-wrap pad
Labels are applied to two adjacent sides of a package. The pad applies the first half of a label onto the top of the package. The second half is then rolled on.
