Cobalt Case Labellers are a flexible solution catering for multi-side labelling - side, top, front, bottom, two adjacent sides and corner wrap around combinations.

The modularity of this range provides adaptation and upgrade path, designed to meet current and future packing line requirements. Single labellers are presented in a fully adjustable stand and cradle, giving maximum fl exibility in height and reach adjustment to match all line conditions and to accurately set the label apply position. By rotating the labeller orientation in the cradle, it is quickly changed between top and side application. Optional wheels can also be fi tted for movement between lines.

UNIQUE REAL-TIME DATA

Real-time print and apply, where the label printed is the one applied, is achieved with the COBALT AIR System. This is the most responsive Print and Apply labeller, where every label carries unique data related to the case, such as weight, dimensions and time. The sequence of data acquisition, printing and label application is strictly managed to ensure packs have the correct unique data. Label replenishment is simple and quick, minimising changeover time. Labels are applied using non contact, tamp, or wipe application.

All apply tools are interchangeable making the modular Cobalt Air system adaptable to side, front, side and front, or corner wrap applications. Apply speeds of up to 70 cases per minute can be achieved. COBALT AIR for Case Labelling is available in a Continuous Operation confi guration, using dual labellers to eliminate downtime.

SIMPLISTIC OPERATION

A simplifi ed user interface ensures busy operatives can effectively set-up and replenish the labeller. Using standard label designs with pre-confi gured variable data, which can be collected locally or across the network, each system has a tailored user interface. Using familiar terms and recognised formats the system performs validation checks to ensure all manual input is accurate before proceeding to print.
