Case Labelling

                   

Cobalt Case Labellers are a flexible solution catering for multi-side labelling, side, top, front, bottom, two adjacent side and corner wrap around combinations. The modularity of the Nexus range provides adaptation and upgrade path, designed to meet current and future packing line requirements. Single labellers are presented in a fully adjustable stand and cradle, giving maximum flexibility in height and reach adjustment to match all line conditions and to accurately set the label apply position. 

_

High Speed, Real Time

_

Our Print and Apply labelling systems use a non contact method, blow applying from a vacuum pad matched to the label size. The apply head safely moves into the space between packs and applies to the oncoming product, withdrawing in the same direction of flow to collect the next label for application.  Where products have uneven surfaces the air blast can be tuned to maximise adhesion. All settings are digitally controlled and can be saved as standard configurations. Real-time printing ensures unique data is printed as the pack arrives, applying immediately, with consistent accuracy - no waiting time, no mislabelling and no wasted labels.

_

Simplistic Operation

_

A simplified User Interface ensures busy operatives can effectively set-up and replenish the labeller. Using standard label designs with pre-configured variable data, which can be collected locally or across the network, each system has a tailored user interface. Using familiar terms and recognised formats the system performs validation checks to ensure all manual input is accurate before proceeding to print.

_

Continuous Operation

_

The systems can be supplied in a Continuous Operation configuration, eliminating downtime and maintaining labelling speeds of 80 packs per minute. This is a dual headed system with both labellers operating from a

single touch panel control.  The Primary labeller is always in operation, the secondary peer automatically stepping in as required to correct missed or poor quality labels as well as taking over during label replenishment.

_

Inline Verification

_

Bar code quality can monitored by the Sentinel Verification system, which scans each label after application to the pack and determines the ANSI equivalent rating of the bar code. Acting as an early warning system, the Sentinel responds when quality deteriorates, displaying status via a beacon, the detail of which is graphically represented on the touch screen control panel.  In more critical situations where the labeller cannot recover from producing unreadable bar codes or mislabelling, the system will initiate a controlled shut down of the line.

_

Warranty

_

Support, parts and warranties are all consistent across the Cobalt range. Customised operator and engineer training ensure successful installation and local ownership. Further expert assistance is always available from Cobalt engineering services with a free helpline and maintenance contracts tailored to your needs.
