Special dispensers

Dispensing systems for individual solutions

Special dispensing systems for individual solutions that do not fit into a standard framework.

Designed for automated processing of self-adhesive functional components, our special dispensers are the right choice for your process. The topex special dispensing systems are adapted to project-specific requirements and individually tailored to roll assembly, label format, label geometry, etc. All in line with the topex motto, “automated labelling”

topex special label dispenser –
application of a self-adhesive format stamped part with correct positioning

 

    Task

    • Application of self-adhesive format stamped parts
    • Application of a self-adhesive format stamped part with correct positioning on a plastic housing using an automatic topex special label dispenser

     

    Function

    The plastic housing to be labelled is transported to the labelling position on site, correctly oriented and accurately positioned. In parallel, the stamped part is automatically unwound from the large roll (diameter 400 mm) and placed on the dispensing edge of the topex special label dispenser for removal. A pneumatically operated vacuum stamp moves over the stamped part, the vacuum is activated, and the stamped part is fixed to the vacuum stamp. The backing film is now pulled away under the stamped part using a pneumatically retractable dispensing edge. The individual stamped part is automatically applied to the pre-prepared plastic housing.

    Features

    • topex special label dispenser with application-specific base plate
    • topex label dispenser control
    • Unwinding of large rolls for roll diameters up to 400 mm
    • Pneumatically retractable dispensing edge
    • Label handling with two linear axis movements for applying the label to the product
    • Labelling stamp matched to the label format
    • Fine adjustment for adjustment of the label removal position
