Marking specialist introduces new solution for labelling

Labels enable identification and traceability, indicate origins, batches or ingredients. cab provides solutions and consumables required for marking. 

Transfer protocols may decide which label printer qualifies for an application. The firmware of all current cab printing and labelling systems supports WebDAV. Print data stored in a cloud memory can be accessed on a printer and processed directly. By making centrally managed label data available worldwide, process reliability increases wherever goods are circulated. 

The industrial HERMES Q printer can be individually turned into a labeller using various standard modules. cab has designed a floor stand to assemble such systems horizontally to a production line. Heights can be adjusted continuous using an integral spindle. 

The specifically designed CEON sensors detect tiny differences in height wherever material webs are moving fast. They operate near a peel-off plate on IXOR labelling heads. Along with IXOR’s master encoder, CEON enables labels can be applied precisely even on spots that are difficult to access or at high speeds. 

cab provides a range of label materials ex stock. Labels can be manufactured also as needed from more than 400 materials. Paper labels are offered smooth and wood-free. Plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester or polyimides resist humidity and extreme temperatures, polyolefin even in cryo applications as low as 196°C below zero. 

When printing on labels in thermal transfer method, a special foil is heated by the print head on specific spots. Colour melts from the layer onto the label surface. cab ribbons dissipate heat in an optimum way to protect the print head. Special back-coating prevents from friction resp. electrostatic charge. 

cab manufactures marking lasers for universal use: desktop systems, systems to integrate to fully automatic production lines, protective housings for marking single parts or small series, or systems designed for marking labels of laser-markable foil. XENO 3, is the successor of the THS series for metal or plastic type plate marking.
