Using the supplier’s H-Seriesthermal/thermal transfer printers, the device produces printresolutions of 203 or 300 dpi on labels sized up to 4.4 x 8inches. After printing, the label is stripped from the liner andheld by suction on the tamp applicator pad. The tamp padis mounted on a heavy-duty swing arm that extends over aconveyor and tamps the label to the front surface of the carton.The device can also be set up to apply labels to a singlesurface or as a corner wrap. Tharo Systems, 800-878-6833,www.tharo.com.Optical label sensors featureintegrated teach functionalityThe LabelX sensor combines a small spot size with fastresponse for high-speed label detection. Offered in two models—theLBX-50 and LBX-100—the sensors are capable ofdetecting a variety of adhesive labels on many different typesof web backings. By differentiating between the gap and thelabel, the sensor’s fast response provides precise spatial resolutionof the label edge. An integrated Teach key makes thesensor fast and easy to use. The LBX-50 is ideal for standardand low contrast labels, while the LBX-100 model provideshigher sensitivity for nearly clear labels.
