Labeling heads
IXOR 2+
for precise insert labeling
Labeling head IXOR 2+ 50
with label webs running as fast as 50 m/min using a mechanical unwinder and a mechanical rewinder
Labeling heads ROXI, IXOR 2+:
Differences and common features
Roll unwinder
Outside diameters 310 mm, 410 mm / 510 mm upon request / Core diameter 76 mm / further dimensions upon request / Widths are 62 mm, 124 mm, 186 mm, 248 mm
Applications including material widths from 200 mm to 248 mm and roll diameters as large as 410 mm recommend a motoric rewinder. Labeling with a mechanical rewinder requires customer material been tested in advance.
The unwinder can be assembled independent from a base unit.
Vertical installation
A counterholder secures the outer layers of a roll when unwound in vertical installation.
The sleeve core of an unwinder is extended by 62 mm relative to the maximum roll width to accommodate and clamp the counterholder.
The labeling head may be installed horizontally or vertically.
Horizontal installation
The lengths of the sleeve cores on both the unwinder and the rewinder correspond to the maximum roll width.
A labeling head can be provided entirely assembled or as individual modular components.
Base unit
The heart of a labeling head, it includes system control, drive, interfaces and operation panel. An unwinder, a rewinder and a demand unit are assembled to it.
Two mounting bores, diameter 30 mm each, allow the labeling head be installed into production and packing lines using fixed or adjustable assistants.
Demand unit
Thanks to a comprehensive modular design it can be configured for any application.
Mechanical unwinder
A pendulum arm and an integrated brake ensure the label web running in consistent tension.
Mechanical rewinder
Clamped onto the tightening axle of the rewinder and driven by a round belt, the liner rewounds after dispensing the labels. A pendulum arm and an integral clutch control the process.

IXOR 2+ 75 with label webs running as fast as 75 m/min
using a mechanical unwinder and a motoric rewinder
IXOR 2+ 120 with label webs running as fast as 120 m/min

Widths are 62 mm, 124 mm, 186 mm, 248 mm / 310 mm upon request
The unwinder and the rewinder can be assembled independent from a base unit.
A double pendulum can be installed as an option in applications with high speeds and critical labels.
Vertical installation
A counterholder secures the outer layers of a roll when unwound in vertical installation.
The sleeve core of an unwinder is extended by 62 mm relative to the maximum roll width to accommodate and clamp the counterholder.
The labeling head may be installed horizontally or vertically.

A labeling head can be provided entirely assembled or as individual modular components.
Base unit
The heart of a labeling head, it includes system control, drive, interfaces, operation panel and a PowerBus module for connecting a motoric winder. An unwinder, a rewinder and a demand unit are assembled to it.
Two mounting bores, diameter 30 mm each, allow the labeling head be installed into production and packing lines using fixed or adjustable assistants.
Demand unit
Thanks to a comprehensive modular design it can be configured for any application.
Mechanical unwinder on IXOR 2+ 75
A pendulum arm and an integrated brake ensure the label web running in consistent tension.
Motoric unwinder on IXOR 2+ 120
A pendulum arm and a brushless torque motor control the unwinding of the label web.
Motoric rewinder on IXOR 2+ 75 / 120
Clamped onto the tightening axle of the rewinder and driven by a brushless torque motor, the liner rewounds after dispensing the labels. A pendulum arm controls the speed of winding.
NEW Base unit of IXOR 2+

An IXOR 2+ base unit integrates a PowerBus module for controlling motoric rewinders and unwinders. It can be retrofit to the base unit of IXOR 2+ 50.
1 Label web brake
Swiveling, adjustable braking force
2 Transport roller
Smooth standard surface. Liner is fed through a plate. A deflective guide plate can be installed to prevent the liner from wrapping. Grooves are therefore required on the roller.
3 Draw roller
Pressure is applied across the entire width of a material. No need for adjustment when operating different label widths
4 Adjustment of pressure force
The pressure forced onto the transport roller can be adjusted for top-notch dispensing.

LB 124, 186, 248 (2 x LB 124) guide plates
Liner is separated from a label web.
TW 124, 186, 248 transport rollers
Synthetic rubber coating, smooth surface

LBA 124, 186, 248 (2 x LBA 124) deflective guide plates
Liner is separated from a label web. A deflector prevents the liner from wrapping around the transport roller.
TWA 124, 186, 248 transport rollers
Synthetic rubber coating with additional grooves for deflectors. Effective with materials that are at least 40 mm wide.

Motoric winders
As is the case with mechanical winders, they are installed directly on a base unit.
1 Anchor holes on the base of a winder enable direct assembly onto a plate.
Winder arrangement corresponds to IXOR 2+ 50 with mechanical winders, so do the load and guidance of a material.
Operation panel
Intuitive and easy to operate, rotatable by 180°, depending on the installation of a unit.

- Access via PLC and an industrial PC to parameters, I/O signals, error messages
Redundancy valid for IXOR 2+
- Two labeling heads can be operated redundantly and continually in an Ethernet network.
- While one unit actively applies labels onto items, another unit is on standby. In cases of a malfunction on an active unit (e.g. a label web ending), the second takes over immediately.
- All items located between the units are labeled.
- The product sensor and the rotary encoder each are provided once for both labeling heads. Signals are transmitted to both labeling heads via a distributor.
- An adapter is required for Ethernet connection.
