How it works
After a label is printed, it is automatically peeled from its liner and retained by vacuum on a non-contact, tamp-blow applicator pad. The tamp pad is mounted on a 90-degree rotary swing arm that reaches across a conveyor and blows the label to the front panel of the moving carton. Upon its return, a second label is printed and a separate straight-line stroke applies that label to the side of the carton to complete the cycle. Depending on label size, the system can maintain up to 40 cycles per minute at a placement accuracy of ±0.03".
The system also can be configured to label side and rear panels, or single panels. And it easily adjusts to various conveyor heights and carton sizes when mounted on a heavy-duty stand.
Ruggedly constructed for use in a wide variety of industrial environments, the Twin-Tamp can handle harsh conditions and long, continuous duty cycles. Each unit is equipped with a strobe light for various label and printer ribbon alerts, as well as outputs for easy connection to an external PLC and Weber’s LegiLink hand-held operator interface device.
Weber also took the hassle out of routine maintenance. The system is programmed with built-in machine cycle diagnostics for self-testing of normal operating cycles, plus input diagnostics that permit testing on specific functions.
The Twin-Tamp operates with Weber's proprietary Print-Apply labeling software, which simplifies label formatting, editing and printing. Weber also offers a wide variety of pressure-sensitive custom labels and compatible thermal-transfer ribbons to meet virtually any labeling requirement.
