Linerless print and apply systems
HERMES QL
for printing linerless labels and applying them automatically in production lines
No liner means no waste and low costs for stock and transport
Rolls of 700 meters are double capacity compared to a standard HERMES Q unit. Downtimes when loading new material are reduced accordingly.
Features, dimensions and installation correspond to the proven HERMES Q print and apply system.
Original applicators and tools for assembly can be used, making HERMES standard printers easy to replace by linerless printers (and vice versa).
Cycle rates correspond to HERMES Q applicators, added by about 200 milliseconds for cutting the linerless labels.
A hinged cover with a large inspection window protects the material and the print head from contamination.
1 Metal chassis
It is the base to assemble components. Made of cast aluminum
2 Control panel
Self-explanatory symbols simplify settings and enable printers be operated intuitive and easily.
3 Peripheral port
An applicator can be plugged easily and quickly.
4 Applicator assembly
It is assembled to hinge pins and can be pivoted in cases of maintenance or material changeover.
5 Cutter
for separating continuous materials
6 Unlocking lever
for cutter removal
Present sensor (not displayed)
Reflective sensor detecting print marks
Transmissive sensor detecting materials
7 Deflection roller
Axial adjustment for straight material run
8 Label unwinder
Labels are unwound consistently with the help of a pendulum arm and an integral brake.
Cutter
It separates labels after printing even at different heights.
The blade and the cutter bar each have anti-stick coating.
The entire cutter can be quickly and easily removed and reinstalled without tools in cases of cleaning, changing the print roller or maintaining the print head.
Print head
It is designed for direct thermal printing.
Major data such as operational performances, maximum operational temperatures and heating are kept in memory by the print head. The data can be read at the premise.
Linerless print roller
Anti-stick rubber coating
Highly elastic for good print images
