New industrial-grade label applicator from Avery Dennison

06/11/2006

Avery Dennison Printer Systems has launched a new label applicator that can be optionally equipped to withstand direct water washdowns. The ALS 206 securely applies preprinted product ID labels in widths up to 6.4 inches (160 mm) to targeted items, including cartons and boxes. It has a die-cast, all-metal construction and a corrosion-resistant cabinet for reliable operation in demanding industrial environments, and is designed to prevent ingress of dust and withstand washdown jets from any direction.

Equipped with advanced electronics and dual precision stepper motors for label placement to an accuracy of +/- 0.5 mm, it is controlled directly or from a remote PLC via serial, parallel, wireless, Ethernet or software interfaces.
