EOS 2, EOS 5 label printers

for printing on one side of continuous pressed shrink tubes

EOS2 is the compact one, requiring little footprint on workstations. Label rolls with diameters up to 203 mm can be inserted to EOS5.

Continuous shrink tubes can be perforated, to simplify separation by hand at a later stage. Cutting a material is as well possible. The cutter can be pivoted to exchange the material.

SQUIX 4M label printers

for printing on one side of shrink tubes continuous pressed or ready for use

The printers stand up to any demand, whether operated stand-alone, with a PC or in a network.

Continuous shrink tubes can be perforated, to simplify separation by hand at a later stage. Cutting a material is as well possible.

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.

Heating can be assigned separately to each print head. If required, labels can be printed on one side only.

Continuous shrink tubes can be perforated, to simplify separation by hand at a later stage. Cutting a material is as well possible.

HERMES Q4L printer system with a 4712 flag applicator

Labels are applied precisely on round materials such as cables, hoses or pipes. First, both endings of a label are stuck together. Then the label is tamped onto the round material.

The pad locates next to the peel-off plate. Printed labels are picked up and transferred to the spot of application by a stroke cylinder.

A further cylinder guides the label all around the round material using cam control.

The length of the stroke cylinder defines the maximum distance of a product to the peel-off plate.

Label printers providing an
integral UHF RFID module will be
available Q2/2024

Label flags

Upper materials and adhesives have been developed in particular for reliable label flag processing.

A label entirely encloses a product. Once stuck, label flags remain permanently closed.

4. Flag on product requires >60 mm clearance on one side

Pivoting the applicator allows label rolls or ribbons been replaced easily. Opening the service door enables access to the wrapper head in cases of errors, such as label jams.

1. Single items are inserted by hand.
   Items are positioned by centering panels.
   Start is triggered automatically after insertion.
    
2. Single items are inserted by a robot.
   Items are identified by centering panels.
   Start is triggered via a data or I/O interface.
    
3. Continuous items are fed and positioned automatically.
   Centering panels remain open by expansion.
   Items are guided through the center.
   Start is triggered via a data or I/O interface.

Item diameters and label lengths define the number of wrap-arounds. Cycles are 1.8 to six seconds.

While labels are wrapped around an item, the aperture for insertion and removal is covered by a finger guard. Operations require materials guided centered on a printer, as well as a slim print roller.

The data block of a label can be printed using cablabel S3, release 1.4.0.5 or later. Find sample labels on www.cab.de/en/cablabel

WLV wrap-around labels

All-around labeling
Data blocks capture the circumference of an item to the D1 diameter. Data blocks are partially covered in cases of smaller diameters.

Partial labeling
Protective laminate captures a data block to the D2 diameter.

Labels can be removed from the peel-off plate of a printer by hand or be applied by the wrap-around applicator directly onto items.

The properties of cab wrap-around labels are adapted to automated labeling using WICON, so is manufacture. All labels ‒ from the first to the last ‒ are applied precisely with the help of pretesion and retension. cab does not provide any functional warranty if third-party labels are in use.

Make sure item surfaces are clean and free of lubricants.

Ribbons

One ribbon roll serves for printing two rolls of wrap-around labels.
