Fully automatic labelling of flat products HSFeco - Fully automatic top labelling of flat products - HSFeco

This powerful HSF friction feeder is the optimal solution when empty folding boxes have to be marked with variable data offline from the production line. The modular design of the system enables an easy integration of the desired marking technology. The HSF separates the folding boxes from the stack in the infeed magazine. The cartons are guided to the printing station by two parallel running belt conveyors. Print information could be e.g. serialisation data in the form of bar codes or data matrix codes and text. Depending on requirements, thermal inkjet, laser coders or label print- and apply systems can be used (also in combination). The printed data is inspected and verified by an integrated vision system. The b+b Linemanager recognized all 21CFR Part 11 data for each serial number and is able to report this back to the Siteserver system (e.g. b+b Siteserver).

Thanks to the TNC-F model series, semi-automatic labelling of shaped bottles becomes very easy. The front and back labels should be on a carrier material. The product is inserted into a product pickup device. As soon as the 2-hand operation is activated, the system starts to pick up the product in the two format pucks, rotates and aligns the product before the front and back labels are applied exactly to the desired positions. By exchanging the format parts of the product pick-up device, cylindrical or angular products can also be processed and labelled with several labels in addition to the shaped bottles.

The STS-T series is based on high-resolution image chips and is available with resolutions of 12, 20 or 30 megapixels. With the real-time autofocus, any number of barcodes, even if they vary greatly in height, can be easily and reliably captured without mechanical or manual adjustment. For this reason, the system also finds its place in the incoming goods department of large pharmacies or re-importers (in entrance module mode). The field of view of 600 mm in width and 400 mm in depth is marked on the base frame. The shipping cases can have a height of up to 380 mm.
