Many of our competitors supply labelling equipement, essentially sticking a label on
a product is pretty simple, so is printing barcodes, or dynamic data.
The hard bit is applying labels, or generating data in real time conditions, as products
fly past the labelling equipment at speeds of 200 plus items per minute, or the system is trying
to apply a label onto a particularly complex surface.
Enter Axiom........
Axiom developed a print and apply machine, utilising an industry standard OEM print
engine, we then developed a range of machine supports. Finally we developed a range
of application heads.
It is these application heads that give the machine the edge, the body of the machine
is much like any of its counterparts, it has an unwind unit, a print engine and a rewind unit.
The application head can be adapted to suit any specifc requirement, some examples
include :-
- Dynamic height application onto a moving product
- Application of shipping labels onto moving cartons
- Application of product labels onto vehicle wheel assemblies
In some cases the application head consists of a pneumatically operated drive system, which
can power the label to the product surface, stopping when it meets resistance, other more
demanding applications utilise high speed servo driven systems to move the label to within
millimeters of the product for a blow on application.
As well as suppyling a machine with interchangeable application heads, Axiom can supply dedicated
product presentation equipment, after all ensuring the product is in a consistent place is one of
the major criteria for consistent and accurate labelling.
The photograph to the left shows two of Axiom's 3000 Series print and apply machines, with servo driven
application heads, enclosed in a safety cabinet, complete with full electronic label positioning and
adjustment systems.
Finally, software, Axiom has an in-house software development department, capable of producing dedicated
software packages for print and apply installations. Capturing product information, producing dynamic
data labels, shipping labels, carton labels, courier labels etc., is all part of Axiom's portfolio.
