Weber low-cost print-apply system

Company: Weber Packaging Solutions

Technology Snapshot: Realizing the need for an economical compact label print and apply system, Weber Packaging Solutions has announced the addition of the Model LA-2050 to their printer-applicator product line.

This robust system offers maximum performance in a small compact footprint using a highly efficient low-energy tamp-blow applicator for contactless labeling. Labeling accuracy is ±0.05 inches. The LA-2050 is perfect for small e-commerce fulfillment companies or anyone needing to automate their labeling for the first time.

Featuring a variable stroke tamp and sensor, the LA-2050 provides automatic labeling for products of different heights. Able to apply up to 25 labels per minute, the system can be used as part of an automated production line or as a stand-alone unit in a jig fixture for fast, accurate labeling.

The LA-2050 uses a Sato CLNX thermal-transfer label printer (203, 300 or 600 dpi) that can print thermal-transfer or direct thermal labels as small as 1.1” x 1.5” up to 4.7” x 6.2” (ideal for 4”x 6” shipping labels). The printer uses a 8” label roll and up to 1968-foot ribbons for longer continuous operation between changes. The printer works with many programming languages such as ZPL, DPL, IPL, and TPL without having to change any settings.

Print jobs are sent to the Sato printer which then feeds the printed labels to the LA-2050 for application. The system is easy to operate and can quickly integrate into your current production line. Data interfaces include USB, LAN, Bluetooth and IEEE1284.
