Weber’s Model 5300 system is redefining the meaning of versatility in pressure-sensitive label printing and application.

In addition to offering a broad selection of high-quality print engines that feature various print resolutions and label dispensing rates, the Model 5300 system is available with optional RFID print-encode engines.

Standard direct- and thermal-transfer print engines from manufacturers Zebra, Sato and others produce text, bar codes and graphic images at 203- or 300-dpi. The Zebra-based RFID models combine these printing capabilities with the encoding and verification of RFID inlays to meet EPC Gen 2 protocols.

The Model 5300 system’s print engines output labels up to seven inches wide and up to six inches long. To keep pace with high-volume, high-speed production lines, compatible print speeds vary from five to 16 ips.

Modular Design

The Model 5300 printer-applicator system's modular design provides one standard system, yet a choice of six distinct methods of label application that are accurate to ±0.03 inch:

• Tamp-blow . This is a very popular method of air-assisted label placement used with standard applications, and is particularly useful in the labeling of recessed areas. A printed label is fed onto a tamp pad and held by vacuum, a pneumatic cylinder extends to within .25 inch of the product, and the label is blown onto its surface.

• Air-blow . Another air-assisted process. The label is blown onto the product from a fixed distance without the aid of a pneumatic cylinder.

• Direct tamp . This method is similar to tamp-blow, but the flexible tamp pad makes direct contact with the product during application.

• Swing-tamp . Labels are applied to the front or back of a product using a 90-degree swing arm applicator and tamp-blow technology.

• Twin-tamp . Special rotary arm enables the application of two labels to the front and side of a product; or its side and back; or one label can be placed on the front, side or back of an item using tamp-blow technology.

• Corner-wrap . One label is wrapped around the corner of a case using an articulating, contact method of application.

In addition, an optional secondary label wipe-down station is available as a complement to any of the above application methods. Quick-change tamp pads also may be ordered to accommodate various label sizes.

The Model 5300 system's modular design ensures that the system can be reconfigured to address subsequent print-and-apply labeling requirements. This modularity can preclude the future acquisition of an additional printer-applicator.
