The system automatically compensates for variations in shingle overlap, thickness and speed, with virtually no user intervention. It is intended for applications where exact count is crucial to the operations, such as in in-line finishing, mail sortation, pressroom stacker needs, and bindery lines.
A shingled stream of products enters the system and passes under a high-speed laser sensor which enables highly accurate counting of the product. A specialized label applicator then precisely applies the peel-off label onto the leading edge of the product which corresponds to the desired pre-set count. The shingled stream is securely trapped between upper and lower belts that automatically adjust for the shingle thickness. The product stream exits the system with the labels securely attached, for further processing by a stacker or other downstream sortation processes.
The label can either be easily removed by the operator or it can be removed at any time in the future without any ink transfer or damage to the product. The label can be optionally printed with any customized marketing logo or message based on customer requirements.
