Peacock Bros. has released the new Weber 5300 Dual-Label pallet printer-applicator.

Weber's Model 5300 Dual-Label pallet printer-applicator marries a high-performance thermal/thermal-transfer label printer with a specially-engineered articulating swing-tamp applicator to perform the printing and two-label, adjacent-side labeling of pallets in line.

Designed and manufactured by Weber, the Dual-Label system features a selection of print engines, which includes both 203- and 300-dpi units from manufacturers like Zebra Technologies, Sato and Datamax. Print engines are available to handle label sizes ranging from 4.0” wide and 4.0” long up to 6.5” wide and 8.0” long

All systems print labels with variable-sized text, bar codes and/or graphic images. Various print speeds programmable at up to 16 ips.

As a label is printed, it is automatically peeled from its liner and retained by vacuum on a non-contact, tamp-blow applicator pad. The articulating tamp pad is mounted on an pneumatically-operated swing arm that reaches across the leading side of a pallet as it approaches the Dual-Label unit via conveyor. When the pallet is in position, a sensor mounted on the swing arm detects the pallet and the label is gently blown onto the lead panel of the pallet.

The swing-arm then retracts to collect a second printed label, which is followed by an articulated stroke that blows the label onto the adjacent side of the pallet to complete the cycle. Depending on a combination of label print engine, pallet size, conveyor speed and the proximity of the Dual-Label system to the pallet, up to five pallets per minute can be labeled.

Ruggedly constructed for use in a wide variety of industrial environments, the Dual-Label printer-applicator can handle harsh conditions and long, continuous duty cycles.

To facilitate routine maintenance, the system is programmed with built-in machine cycle diagnostics for self-testing of normal operating cycles, plus input diagnostics that permit testing on specific functions.

The Dual-Label system operates with Weber's Legitronic® labeling software, which simplifies label formatting, editing and printing. Weber also manufactures and provides a wide variety of pressure-sensitive labels and compatible thermal-transfer ribbons to meet virtually any labeling requirement.
