Automatic label printer-applicator PTS

labelelectric

Overview
Electric print-and-apply labelling system for real-time label printing and application on products and packaging. Configurable with different applicators; the printer unit is fully electric and does not require compressed air. Designed for variable data printing (barcodes, logistics and traceability) and automatic application to product or packaging.

Key points

• Sixth-generation Print & Apply system by EIDOS
• Fully electric architecture — no compressed air required for printer electronics and basic functions
• Modular, compact solution for industrial production lines

Printing performance
PTS provides high printing speeds depending on material and printhead width.

• Up to 1,000 mm/s on plastic materials
• Up to 600 mm/s on coated paper
• Up to 500 mm/s on vellum paper
• Printing width up to 160 mm (6" printhead)

Compatible applicators
Supported applicator types include Linear, Rotor (e.g. Rotor Fast) and Delta-V. Some applicators may require compressed air at 6 bar when demanded (peak 40 l/min, average 5–6 l/cycle).
