PRECISION CROSS WEB LABELLING Superior flexibility and efficiency in labelling 4

With our powerful labelling head, we ensure a rapid and efficient label feeding process. The labels are placed onto our advanced vacuum chamber, where they are carefully aligned. From there, the labels are smoothly transferred and precisely applied to the product. High speed processor and high resolution on servo motors provides extremely high precision. This ensures flawless labelling on every product.

Easy Service The stainless steel covers can be removed for quick and easy service access.

Multiple built-in test functions and error messages in plain text ensure fast troubleshooting and optimisation.

The labeller has a user-friendly control panel with display and intuitive keys. The panel provides access to a programme database with up to 100 programmes.
