Wrap-around applicator WICON

Cylindric items of diameters 2 mm to 16 mm, such as single wires, strands, cables, hoses, tubes or round rods, can be labeled with the wrap-around applicator.
Transparent laminate covers data blocks and protects them persistently from dust and wear.
Items are inserted in horizontal orientation and centered by panels. Printing a label and wrapping it around an item takes 1.8 to six seconds, depending on the number of wrap-arounds.
Operation starts as soon as an item has been inserted. It may be triggered by a data interface or an I/O interface. A label is printed and then picked up by the applicator. The diameter of an item is identified on the wrapper head. The size of a label determines how many times it will be wrapped around the item.
While labels are wrapped around an item, the aperture for insertion and removal is covered by a finger guard.
Operations require materials been guided centered on a printer, as well as a slim print roller.
The properties of cab wrap-around labels are precisely adapted to automated label application using WICON, so are the manufacturing methods. All the labels ‒ from the first to the last ‒ are applied precisely with the help of pretesion and retension. cab cannot provide any functional warranty if third-party labels are in use.
Make sure item surfaces are clean and free of lubricants.
cab recommends materials with a maximum diameter of 3 mm be tested at the factory.

Label margins are 12.7 mm distant to the outside of the centering panel. Moving the applicator aligns the outside of a liner material to the marking.
Items can be aligned 25 mm to 100 mm distant to the margin of a label using a stop.
Pivoting the applicator allows label rolls or ribbons been replaced easily.
A service door enables access to the wrapper head in cases of errors, such as label jams.

Labels can be removed from the peel-off plate of a printer by hand or transfered by the wrap-around applicator directly to items.
With labels 1 19.1 mm to 63.5 m mm high (H), item diameters 2 mm to 16 mm can be labeled. If using labels 70 mm high, the item diameter must be 6 mm or more.
