Specifications overview
Industry overview
Future supply chain developments shape identification requirements for

manufacturers
Regulatory tracing requirements, especially in food and pharma,

oblige manufacturers to include ever more information on
product packaging, cartons, cases and pallets
Counterfeiting problems and brand protection ask for

mass serialization of products and RFID encoding capability
Adding to this need for individual product labeling are increasing numbers of
SKUs (Extension of Product ranges) and distribution centers (Increase of global
logistic networks)
Increase of automation level and control of production through central control

systems
As much of that data is variable, only Print & Apply machinery is
able to provide a practical solution to these requirements

Features
Multi-tasking high performance system
Rapid 32-bit CPU (400 MHz MIPS) enables printing, dispensing and
preparation of data for next label simultaneously
Ideally suited for applications with constantly changing print

content, like dispatch labels
Easily integrateable into production machinery through right- and

left hand versions
Handling great amount of out- and inputs at the same time
Non-stop printing provided by fast image building and multi-tasking opera
Features

Multitude of connectivity options
Best-of-class connectivity (Standard Ethernet) enables easy

integration, e.g. into central control systems
Fast data transfer facilitates

linking to external database or network
Remote, rotatable display enables integration into

packaging lines or pallet-labelers
Stand-alone functionality and applicator control option

through internal PLC, firmware and applicator interface
no external PLC necessary
Applicator Interface provides further signals, - additive to the

standard IO board
PLX - Pallet Labeller

with ALX 92x
Professional integration into production line through best-of-class conn
Features
Extremly fast and sharp printing
26
Near-edge printhead allows for 400 mm/sec print speed
Excellent print quality through 12 dots/mm print head resolution for

even smallest fonts, bar codes and 2D-codes
Highest label output on market

(50 mm x 50 mm label = 21.000 labels/h)
With exact foil combination, all types of materials can be printed

onto:
Self-adhesive labels, card and synthetic materials up to
240g/sqm
Highest print speed with largest label output and best print quality on the market
Features
Less operation down-time
Less downtime using large capacity supply rolls:

Foil length of 1000 m,
Label rolls of 300 mm diameter
Quick change of printhead through Plug&Play-functionality:

- no need for special tools or deployment of technician
- 5 min to change the printhead
Increase of machine time resulting in less operation down-time

Foil Saving
Reduced cost of ownership through highly effective foil saving mechanism
Starting after 5 mm unprinted area
Reduced friction as printhead jumps over gap between labels
Foil Saving Calculator:
Industry-leading concept of foil saving

Layout is shifted by distance from

dispensing edge to printhead: as
printing on label (2) is just possible
after 18-23 mm, a different total
label length has to be calculated
