You could already read about the basic division of label applicators in our previous article. This time we will take a closer look at one of the mentioned types, namely the label applicators with reprinting.
What are online reprint label applicators?
Online reprinting allows label applicators to create labels with real-time data, which is ideal for a dynamic production environment. Data can come directly from a production line, scale or camera inspection system. They are thus adapted to the specifications of the given product.
To achieve this result, the integration of an external print module with the label applicator is necessary. This can lead to the need to combine technologies from different manufacturers, such as a thermal transfer module from one company and an applicator from another. However, this approach can introduce complications in coordination and maintenance.
Integrated system from CAB
The German manufacturer CAB, whose products you can find in our offer, eliminates this problem by providing an integrated system that is designed to work together seamlessly and simplify the entire process. In this way, it reduces the potential technical problems associated with using equipment from different manufacturers. Its ready-to-use ALL-IN-ONE solution ensures that the devices have unrivaled smallest dimensions for integration into different production lines.
Best-selling CAB models
CAB printers and applicators, specifically the HERMES Q models, are among the best and most sophisticated that can currently be purchased in the world of applicators with online reprinting. Hermes Q is very easy to configure and can be connected to more than two dozen different applicators according to the requirements of a specific application. Among the best-selling models are the 4014 and 4114 applicators, which are capable of applying labels up to 335 mm from the base of the printer. It can also handle the application of up to 120 labels per minute. It applies to various high products, from 4 x 4 mm to 150 x 300 mm, with stationary and moving applications and much more.
Squix printers for online reprinting
Our portfolio also includes Squix printers from CAB. The most popular models include the S1000 and S5104, as well as the WICON, which is ideal for marking cables and wires. These applicators can be easily connected to the Squix thermal transfer printer via its front communication interface, allowing the printer to be quickly transformed into a label applicator. Although the range of applicators is not as wide as that of the Hermes model, they stand out for their lower price and flexibility of use. In addition, the applicator can be disconnected at any time, and the printer can be used again for standard label printing.
Label applicators from Arca
Arca offers a wide range of label applicators that allow reprinting. This reprinting is usually carried out using thermo-transfer modules from the above-mentioned manufacturer, CAB, or from manufacturers Zebra, Sato and others. Although the addition of these modules may slightly increase the dimensions of the applicator, it is still a solution that can be effectively integrated into production lines. In addition, Arca applicators are compatible with various types of printing technologies, including inkjet printers, thermal inkjets and lasers. We can thus offer a solution adapted to the specific needs of each customer.
