Labeling Machine #4946432

The IDT Model 252 is the latest evolution of the worlds top selling Label Printer Applicator, the Model 250. Built on the Centerline-Modularity concept, the Model 252 Label Printer Applicator features the same modular design and robust construction companies have come to expect from the IDT Model 250. The goal of Centerline-Modularity is to create an easily identifiable reference point for default calibration in product identification machinery. This is accomplished through a proprietary process that identifies and catalogues all possible points of adjustment in a machine, and then designing to eliminate as many of those adjustment points as possible. The result is increased uptime and lower operating costs for machinery using this design. The Model 252 Label Printer Applicator can be fitted with Zebra, Sato or Datamax print engines to print crisp clear barcodes and text on a variety of label and tag substrates. The industrial duty label printer applicator then applies these labels consistently and accurately even in the harshest production environments. The IDT Model 252 Label Printer Applicator features a new touch screen User Interface for easier programming, a redesigned rewind motor module that is hot swappable, a revolutionary plasma coated air assist tube that eliminates label sticking, and an optional service position Tamp Module. Additionally, the IDT Model 252 Printer Applicator can be configured with the same application modules as the Model 250 eliminating the need for additional training of plant personnel, as well as the ability to swap out modules among machines. These application modules include Tamp, Tamp-Blow, Swing-Arm Tamp, Corner-Wrap, Smart Tamp, Blow-On and Wipe-On.

LSI's blow-on label applicators are designed for non-contact applications in which a burst of high pressured air is used to apply the label to the product. The blow-on applicators can apply labels at a higher rate of speed with no change of parts needed for most label shapes up to 4 34" x 4 34" in size.

LSI offers different wipe-on label applicators and roll-on label applicators. These label applicators are ideal for applications where the product may have an irregular surface or a recessed area. For an effective wipe-on roll-on application the conveyor speed and the label web speed need to be consistent with one another and the label must feed the direction of the product travel. The roller or brush is then used to ensure proper label adhesion. The wipe-on application method utilizes a brush or wipe assembly to ensure label adhesion. A wipe-on applicator is usually selected with products that have high and low areas in the label placement area (ex. recessed panel) or products that are irregular in shape. The Roll-On Label Applicator as a roller made of foam or rubber, is spring loaded and mounted just ahead of the peeler bar. This rolls across the label to ensure adhesion. The product surface is usually flat or slightly rounded. Another type of Roll-On Label Applicator includes a peeler bar extension for when the labeling head cannot be positioned close to the product. The roll-on applicator is mounted just ahead of the peeler bar and is spring loaded. The roll-on applicator and the surface is flat or slightly rounded.
