Perfect in function, highly reliable, convenient to operate and a minimum of downtimes when replacing materials.

PX QS print modules have been specifically designed for expanding labeling heads such as ROXI and IXOR.

Printed labels are led through a deflection roller to a loop.

An integral control system monitors a loop fill level regardless of a speed in which labels are dispensed. Loop lengths can be set according to a specific application.

- Minimum loop length
When printing with continuous speed, provided that a cycle for applying a label is longer than the printing. Little label waste at batch change-overs

- Maximum loop length
When items are labeled intermittently at frequent intervals. The filled buffer enables fast labeling. There are further possibilities of refilling the buffer between labeling cycles.

The control system continuously monitors the fill level and provides early notification if the loop buffer is full or empty. This ensures nondisruptive dispensing.

Labels can be printed in thermal transfer or direct thermal method.

The print head can be lifted during label feed.

Ribbon consumption is reduced in thermal transfer printing. In direct thermal printing, the print head benefits from an extended service life.

In addition, labels are prevented from compression between the sensor and the print head.

Labeling heads expanded by PX QS

Print module PX QS with labeling head IXOR

Suitable for ROXI, IXOR and IXOR+ labeling heads

Installation depth is 110 mm behind the locationg edge of a material. Power supply and interfaces are located lateral on the printer chassis, as they are on ROXI and IXOR.

The print module is assembled on mounting rods, a carrier or a plate.

Labels without additional printing are fed directly to the dispensing tongue below the print module.

PX QS Druckmodul Funktionen1 Operation panel
Operating the device is intuitive and simple with the help of self-explanatory symbols to configure settings

2 Ribbon holder
Three-part tightening axles enable the ribbon to be replaced quickly and easily.

3 Rugged metal chassis
made of cast aluminum; basis to assemble all units

4 Plungers
One plunger is fixed on the inner side. A second one is moved that far to the label margin, until a good print image evokes.

5 Print head
All print heads are freely interchangeable at equal width. Easy replacement

6 Print roller replacement
In cases of cleaning or replacement due to wear, both pressure and tension rollers are easy to remove and reinstall.

7 Simple replacement of materials
Label materials are inserted until lateral stop. Print head and deflection roller locked by levers

8 Label sensor
A gap sensor or a reflective sensor position the imprint precisely on the label and detect the end of the material. An external label sensor (e.g. CEON) can be installed when processing transparent labels .

Print heads

PX QS Print heads

All print heads are freely interchangeable at equal width. They are automatically detected and calibrated by the CPU. The print distance to the locating edge can be adjusted.

Major data such as running performance, maximum operating temperature and heat energy are directly stored in the print head. The data can be read at the plant.

Print heads for PX QS 4 module - 300, 600 dpi
providing sharp-edged print images
suitable for small fonts and graphics on typeplates
suitable for markings on materials with high energy needs

Print heads for PX QS 4.3 and PX QS 6.3 modules - 203, 300 dpi
durable; suitable for rough surroundings and direct thermal printing

Print rollers

Print rollers

Two types of material:

DR print rollers
Coating: synthetic rubber
They suit for highly accurate imprint and are provided as standard.

DRS print rollers
Coating: silicone
They have an extra long service life at a higher imprint tolerance.

      Carrier units provided for PX QS print modules

      The image shows a labeling head installed with a print module and a peel-off plate on a carrier unit.

      - The print module is slid onto guides on the carrier unit and locked by screw.

      - The labeling head is attached to a retainer. - SST 400 or SST 600 column stands enable adjustment transverse the direction of transport.

      - When processing slim labels, the print module can be shifted by 7 mm transverse the direction of transport to ensure the ribbon is running smoothly free of wrinkles. At this, the ribbon rests on both sides of the print roller. The material passage (i.e. material width) is reduced accordingly.

      - The carrier units design allows labels been provided either to the left or right. Mounting rods are required 400 mm long.
