Label printers
SQUIX UHF RFID
Highest reliability in processes related to writing and printing RFID labels

Basic and peel-off units guiding materials aligned to the left or in centered position
SQUIX cab label printers providing integral UHF RFID options offer highest industrial reliability in the writing and printing of RFID labels.
There are three UHF RFID modules to select from. Each has been optimized for a specific class of RFID labels: standard RFID tags, on metal RFID tags and mini RFID tags
UHF RFID options already qualify for a wide range of RFID labels. In addition, cab assists in customer-specific solutions.
Extensive peripherals and the excellent programmability of cab label printers with UHF RFID option enable practical solutions.
cab next to RFID technology, also supports the latest communication interfaces such as OPC UA and WebDAV for integrating a printer to complex logistics systems.

SQ 1000 applicator
Automatic labeling
SQ 1000 is a further development of the proven S1000 applicator, fully compatible, adding extra functions. Existing applications can continue without limitations. In conjunction with a SQUIX printer, the SQ 1000 is a cost-effective solution for semi-automatic labeling tasks. Labels are applied onto items by means of a stroke cylinder.
Easy to configure
The applicator can be fully set on the printer control panel, configurations be stored and called up. Automatic calibration features speed up the setup.
Process control
Detailed statistical values are provided, so are sophisticated error messages. Constant control enables response right away in events of errors.
Updates
Applicator firmware can be updated on the printer control panel or the printer‘s web server. New features and specific solutions can therefore be tested right away and distributed in the field.
1 Long life cycles: The ball bearing guide bars are low wear.
2 Different levels of application: By providing different lengths of stroke for the cylinder, labels can be applied on various heights to an item.
3 Compressed air regulation: Micro filters prevent from contamination. Decompression keeps the quality of label applications consistently high.
4 Reliable processes: Supporting air, intake air and stroke speeds can all be set. The pressing force can be reduced to less than 10N (1kg) in sensitive operations. Purging the intake ducts subsequent to every label application prevents from contamination.
5 A wide range of sizes: Labels 25 mm to 176 mm wide and 25 mm to 200 mm high can be applied.
6 Supporting air: (Blow tube not included in delivery) It enables labels be blown onto a pad.
7 Pad: Labels are transferred to a pad and held there by vacuum. A stroke cylinder moves the pad with the labels to an item.

UHF RFID modules with read / write antennas
Modules are assembled inside a chassis, antennas directly to a print head or a feeding unit. Data of RFID tags are read or written just before the printing of a label. In the event of errors, labels are indicated invalid.
Read / write antennas
On a print head
1. OM – On Metal preferred if labels are applied onto metal surfaces
On a feeding unit
2. RS – Regular Sensitivity is a standard with all common RFID labels
3. HS – High Sensitivity if RFID labels have specific radiation characteristics
On a print head and on a feeding unit
4. OM and RS – Each antenna can read / write labels one by one.
RFID features
RFID tag calibration
Optimum read / write performance is identified for RFID tags. Characteristic curves can be printed using the status feature.
