Evolabel
Wipe G2 Applicator
The unique tactile arm detects not only the product for perfect label apply but also any obstacle in its way - which enhances both safety and reliability. This enables fast and precise labeling, even on very light products, both adjacent sides and corner wrap.
The apply angle of the arm and applicator plate which holds the label firmly with vacuum, can be set in any angle from a few degrees up to 200 degrees. The rotating movement is in line with the print direction, so long labels that are more than 300 mm (12") can be applied on the product.
The pulse encoder controlled stepper motor driven applicator arm makes both adjacent side labeling as well as corner wrap easy. It is also perfect for applying labels on a rounded surface, like a drum.
Enhanced Safety
The light 3D printed arm, stabilized by carbon fiber, is driven by a stepper motor with encoder, which senses when the product is reached. But more important, it also senses if obstacles are in the way, to reduce crushing hazards.
As all other Evolabel applicators does during service, the Wipe G2 moves automatically away from the print head to a service position, giving great access during paper/ribbon change and during print head cleaning.
Technical Specifications
The Evolabel Wipe G2 applicator is developed with ease of use, reliability, and safety in focus. It is fully automatic and no daily adjustments or calibrations are needed. The applicator works with a rotational, step motor driven motion and is built with the Evolabel patented applicator pad range to achieve optimal label handling. The patented pads create vacuum locally by feeding compressed air from the applicator.
The Wipe G2 can be mounted on all Evolabel printers and is easily mounted with two screws, a tube for compressed air, and an eApplicator cable for the electronic interface.
The applicator is controlled by the printer, normally by using the signal from an external photo sensor as a direct input to detect the product to be labeled. For information about the printers, we refer to the manual Installation, Maintenance & Service D43/T43/T63.
The Wipe G2 applicator is designed for print and apply systems with high demands on performance; primarily corner wrap top-front labeling or top and/or front labeling. The applicator may usefully be equipped with a motorized stand to handle batches with varying product heights and label positions.
