ROI Coding Solutions can integrate the Weber
Model 5100 Twin-Tamp label printer-applicator into most packaging
environments. The 5100 Twin Tamp combines a high-performance thermal/thermal-transfer label printer with a specially configured applicator to satisfy the printing and two-label, adjacent-panel application of carton labels in line.

The Twin-Tamp system is available with a choice of print engines, including 203- or 300-dpi units from manufacturers like Zebra, Sato and Datamax. Label sizes range from 2.0" wide and 1.0" long to 6.0" wide and 4.0" long. Each system can produce variable-sized text, bar codes and graphic images at speeds programmable up to 12.0" per second.

After a label is printed, it is automatically peeled from its liner and retained by vacuum on a non-contact, tamp-blow applicator pad. The tamp pad is mounted on a 90-degree rotary swing arm that reaches across a conveyor and blows the label to the front panel of the moving carton. Upon its return, a second label is printed and a separate straight-line stroke applies that label to the side of the carton to complete the cycle. Depending on label size, the system can maintain up to 40 cycles per minute at a placement accuracy of ±0.03".

The system also can be configured to label side and rear panels, or single panels. And it easily adjusts to various conveyor heights and carton sizes when mounted on a heavy-duty stand.

Ruggedly constructed for use in a wide variety of industrial environments, the Twin-Tamp can handle harsh conditions and long, continuous duty cycles. Each unit is equipped with a strobe light for various label and printer ribbon alerts, as well as outputs for easy connection to an external PLC and Weber’s LegiLink hand-held operator interface device.

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.
