The positioning and movement of the product are necessary towards proper labelling. Items, such as bottles, ampoules or tubes, are held by fixtures and rotated by a rotating roller prism or mandrel. The label applicator is then moved manually and rotated to ensure that the contact with the product surface is always at a constant position. Mishandling can be avoided through proper use.

Drive & Motion Control

The product labelling machine should manage the label feed as well as product rotation. The fixture (e.g. a roller prism) is moved by a drive unit that causes the item to rotate. At the same time, the applicator head should supply labels at the correct speed. Timing is imperative; when the label is placed too soon or too late compared to the rotation of the product, then the label might become misaligned or wrinkled.
