FlexWipe Pallet Labelling System
Evolabel FlexWipe pallet labeling system is enhancing safety, maximizing throughput, ensuring traceability and enabling flexibility.
The unique Tactile arm and the Pivotable machine mount that steer away are designed to reduce crushing hazards.
If an obstacle gets in the way, the stepper motor driven arm stops and the system gives an alarm.
The printer and applicator is mounted on the the Pivotable machine mount. This will steer away the machine and trigger an alarm, if something gets inbetween a moving pallet and the FlexWipe system.
In many applications, this can negate the need of expensive guarding. This does not only reduce cost and release floor space, it also gives direct and quick access to the system for the operator. The label roll is replaced within 20 seconds and it takes only a minute to replace the print head or print roller when needed.
Front, Side and Rear pallet labeling
The free motion apply (patent pending) allows the same configuration to apply either of the two adjacent sides (side+front or side+back) within 12 seconds. This includes validation of all barcodes on the GS1 SSCC label. The FlexWipe system can label all three sides without having the pallet to stop if check scanning is not required.
Essity Hygiene and Health
At Essity Hygiene and Health in Lilla Edet, Sweden, the Evolabel FlexWipe system prints and applies 5 pallets per minute, on two sides including verification of all barcodes. More important still, is the fact that the system is very safe. Both the risk of pinching between the applicator arm and the printer and the risk of getting stuck between the pallet and the whole system are minimized with intelligent solutions.
Evolabel FlexWipe pallet applicator is a safe, compact, fast and easy to use solution for tough industrial environments.
The FlexWipe is releasing flexibility due to both the compact nature of the unit and the same applicator can label all three sides towards the system.
It is built upon two servo controlled rotating movements. The inner monocoque arm can rotate 360º and the labels can leave the printer in two directions (patent pending). The outer arm holding the applicator pad can rotate 200º.
A camera based scanner is located behind the applicator pad. When a validation check scan is required the arms move and turn 180º to an optimal reading position, where all printed barcodes are checked.
The pivotable machine mount takes away crushing hazards between the moving pallet and the pallet applicator. If a person gets between the moving pallet and the applicator (pos Y1) the applicator will rotate from its operation position X1 towards X2 and further.
This will leave room for the person between the pallet and the system (pos Y2). The system will also detect and alarm so the production line can be stopped. The pivotable machine mount can turn 90 deg counter clock wise and 180 deg clock wise.
