How Does The Labeling Machine Work?

Which is labeling machine?

Labeling machines are machines that dispense, apply or print-and-apply labels to various items, products, containers, or packages. The types of machines that do these operations vary from completely automatic print and apply high production units to simple manual dispensing devices.

Working process of labeling machine

The working process of the labeling machine begins with the object being fed on the conveyor belt at a constant speed to the labeling machine. The mechanical fixing device separates the attached objects by a fixed distance and pushes the objects along the direction of the conveyor belt. The mechanical system of the labeling machine includes a drive wheel, a labeling wheel, and a reel. The drive wheel intermittently drags the label tape to move, the label tape is pulled out from the reel, and at the same time passes through the labeling wheel The labeling wheel will press the label tape on the object. An open-loop displacement control is used on the reel to maintain the tension of the label tape. Because the labels are closely connected to each other on the label tape, the label tape must be constantly started and stopped.

The label is applied to the object with the applicator wheel moving at the same speed as the object. When the conveyor belt reaches a certain position, the label belt drive wheel will accelerate to a speed matching the conveyor belt, and after the label is attached, it will decelerate to a stop.

Since the label tape may slip, it has a registration mark on it to ensure that each label is placed correctly. The registration mark is read by a sensor, and during the tape deceleration phase, the drive wheels are repositioned to correct any mispositioning on the tape.
