Label applicator- gluing equipment

Labels were manually riveted to the product and we needed to automate this labelling process. The customer requested that the equipment could be integrated into their system, between the filling machine and the boxing station, so we had to keep in mind the space available, the parameters of the existing machines, so that we could integrate the labelling equipment into the line. We used a vacuum gripper to grip the labels and an XY coordinate unit with CANopen communication servo motor to place the label on the package. The label holder was equipped with a laser range finder to ensure that the coordinate unit is always positioned almost at the correct one.

The gluing pattern could be set on the controller PLC (Gluing valve open time, number of repetitions, these parameters can be used to set if the user wants more small dots or longer lines).
