Refurbished LA-4050AC RH Label Printer Applicator

This LA-4050AC is a high-speed,high-performance printer applicator with a Zebra ZE500-4 203 DPI 4" wide print engine. Left=hand label application.

On Print and Apply Systems it is often the print module which determines the working rate. This is not the case with the Legi-Air 4050 AC Shuttle.

A loop device ensures a ready supply of labels which are custom-printed before being dispensed at unusually high speeds onto the passing products. The capacity of this storage device means that even higher cycle speeds of short duration can be achieved. A check is kept on the loop by a dancer roller to ensure there is a supply of labels present. The benefits of this variant are ease of use and the compact system design.

Labeling capacity may be up to 20 times greater than printing capacity. Print speeds of up to 16 m per minute and conveyor speeds of up to 50 m per minute can be achieved.

Typical applications are labelling of identical products or products of continuous height. Compressed air is not required unlike most systems in the market today as the Print Apply System is completely electric and virtually Plug and Play. The result is a high level of cost-efficiency.

Labels are applied by the Legi-Air 4050 AC Shuttle using what is termed the wipe-on method, where the label is wiped onto the product or packaging surface.

The wipe-on applicator has the additional benefit of allowing flexible switching to other label formats. Labels of between 14 mm and 210 mm long can easily be processed. The system automatically calibrates itself to the length of label used.

Labels can be applied in exactly the required position without any need for offsetting, even if there is a change in belt speed or the conveyor stops suddenly. A shaft encoder permanently monitors the conveying system transporting the products.
