Label Printer Applicator System with Height Compensation Module

ID Technology offers a height compensation system designed to label products of varying heights. A Model 250 Label Printer Applicator fitted with this module is able to label boxes ranging from 1"-40+" in height. By choosing the electric tamp assembly, speeds up to 45 cases per minute can be achieved.

The label printing product identification system is designed to take data from a height detection system, positioned upstream, sending case height to the indexer (+/-.25"). The trailing edge of the previous box triggers a sensor attached to the Model 250. A label is printed and the tamp assembly travels down towards the product ready to apply a label.

While a pneumatic tamp module is robust and reliable for lower speed applications, the electric tamp system can achieve a throughput of 20 cases per minute at approximately 150 feet per minute. Carton throughput may increase up to 45 cases per minute when successive cartons are at or near the maximum height.
