EOS 2, EOS 5 label printers
for printing on one side of continuously pressed shrink tubes
EOS2 is the compact one, requiring little footprint on workstations. Label rolls with a maximum diameter of 203 mm can be inserted to EOS5.
Continuous shrink tubes can be perforated by a special cutter, so that they can be separated by hand at a later stage. They may be cut as well. By pivoting the cutter, materials can be removed or inserted.

XD Q label printers
for printing on both sides of continuously pressed shrink tubes or shrink tubes ready for use
They print on both sides of pressed shrink tubes, continuous or ready for use, as well as continuous materials based on synthetics, cardboard or textiles.
A draw roller reliably separates the ribbon from materials and, in addition, improves the accuracy of imprints.
Heating power can be assigned separately to each print head. If required, labels can be printed only on one side.
Continuous shrink tubes can be perforated by a special cutter, so that they can be separated by hand at a later stage. They may be cut as well.

HERMES Q4L printer system with a 4712 flag applicator
Label flags are applied precisely and in real time on round materials such as cables, hoses or pipes. At this, the labels are first stuck to one another at their ends and only then pressed onto the item.
Printed labels are picked up by a pad located in front of the peel-off plate. The labels are then lifted to the labeling position by a stroke cylinder.
Another cylinder helps labels been guided around a round material via cam control.
The distance of an item to the peel-off plate depends on the length of the stroke cylinder.

Label flags
We manufacture the labels upon order. See examples of punching dies in the table below.
Labels can be provided in further sizes and colors upon request.
Label materials as well as adhesives have been developed in particular for reliable label flag processing.
The label entirely encloses an item. Once stuck, label flags remain permanently closed.

HERMES Q2R printer system with a 4812 wrap-around applicator
in preparation
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 applicator.
Data blocks on labels are protected persistently from environmental impacts by transparent laminate.
Items are inserted to collet chucks and set in position.
The cycle time for printing and wrapping with two wraps is 2.5 seconds.
Operation starts as soon as an item has been inserted. A label is printed and then picked up by the applicator. The wrapper head identifies the diameter of the item. The size of a label determines how many times a label will be wrapped around. Operations in automatic mode are triggered via the data interface or I/O interface.
By pivoting the applicator, label rolls and ribbons can be removed or inserted.

WICON wrap-around applicator
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.
Data blocks on labels are protected persistently from environmental impacts by transparent laminate.
Items inserted horizontally are set by centering panels. Items can be aligned 25 mm to 100 mm (1“ to 4“) distant to a label margin, using a stop.
The cycle time for printing and wrapping is 1.8 - 6 seconds, depending on the number of wraps.
Operation starts as soon as an item has been inserted. triggered by a foot switch, a data or I/O interface. A label is printed and then picked up by the applicator. The wrapper head identifies the diameter of the item. The size of a label determines how many times a label will be wrapped around.
The slot to insert or remove items is covered by a finger guard during processing.
Only wrap-around labels provided by the manufacturer guarantee proper applications. Item surfaces must be clean and free of lubricants.
Pivoting the applicator enables label rolls or ribbons be replaced easily. In cases of errors to fix, such as label jams, opening the service door provides access to the wrapper head.

Wrap-around labels
Product diameter D1
Up to this value, a data block captures the circumference of an item.
Product diameter D2
Up to this value, the protective laminate captures the data block.
Data blocks on labels are protected persistently from contamination and wear by transparent laminate.
The labels can be removed by hand from the peel-off plate on a printer or applied by the wrap-around applicator to items.
Labels are wound in single lanes. Rolls are packed individually.
With labels 19.1 mm to 63.5 m mm high (H), items of diameters 2 mm to 16 mm can be labeled. Using labels 70 mm high, the smallest possible item diameter is 6 mm.
