Technical data

The applicator A 1000 represents, in combination
with the thermal transfer printers A3 and A4, the
inexpensive solution both for the semi-automatic
labeling and for the integration into automated
production lines.
For Small and Big Labels
Labels with a height of 25 - 150 mm and with a
width of 25 - 116 mm may be applied. The printer
enables to use label rolls with a diameter of up
to 210 mm.
Quick Assembly
Like any other accessory, the applicator is plugged
into the printer with two stoppers and fixed with
only one screw.
Variable Product Heights
By means of the pneumatic cylinder with a stroke
of 300 mm it is possible to compensate differences
in product heights of up to 150 mm. It is also
possible to use cylinders with a longer stroke.
Simple Adjustment
Four screws are necessary to adjust the tamp pad
according to the dispensing edge. The sequence
of the whole cycle may be optimized during the
test operation at the operator panel.
High Process Reliability
The supporting air jet streaming and the vacuum
as well as the speed of the cylinder are adjustable.
For highly sensitive products and packaging the
pressure to apply labels may be reduced to less
than 1 kg. Consequently there is no risk of injury.
To avoid contamination within the vacuum chan-
nels these are cleaned by air pressure impulse
at the end of each application.
Long Operating Life without Wearing
The guides have ball bearings which avoid wearing
and guarantee more than 2 million cycles

Tamp Pad
During this print and apply cycle the product
remains in fixed position. The universal tamp is
covered by a foil. According to the size of the label
the holes may be pierced. On request, the tamp
pads are customized to the dimensions of the
label sizes.
Blow Pad
For applying pressure to sensitive products the
label may be blown on to the product by the sup-
porting air jet stream. The print and apply cycle per-
forms in a fixed position or in linear movement of
the product. The blow pad moves to a pre adjust-
ed position approx. 10 mm away from the product.
Roll on Pad
Using the roll on pad the label is dispensed until
touching the roller. The tamp pad moves on top
of the product. The label is then rolled on and
applied by the movement of the product.
