to install on a table or to a production line. Provided in a left-hand or right-hand design
The size of the mount can be adapted to an application.

1 Adapter plate
to fix a label application system
Alternatively, the system can be assembled directly to a production line, using the adapter plate with a profile.

2 Profile
square aluminum; 40, 80, 120 mm are standards, further lengths can be provided depending from customer demands

3 Base plate
to fix the product jig; 500 x 255 mm by default

to assemble directly to a production line

to assemble to a floor stand

to move in horizontal or vertical direction

to move in horizontal direction or rotate around an axis

HERMES can be installed to a production line using a floor stand. The unit can be adjusted in three axes to the product to label. Pivoting is also possible.

It benefits when operating HERMES in different production lines. Mobility is provided. At the place of operation, the floor stand can be aligned with the help of feet to adjust.

HERMES can be installed to a production line using a floor stand. The unit can be adjusted in three axes to the product to label. Pivoting is also possible.

It benefits if spots to which apply labels are changing frequently in terms of product heights and depths. HERMES can be adjusted in directions x and z to a product using a toothed rack.

How to assemble to a stand

Applying labels in direction of transport

from the top

from the side

Applying labels crosswise the direction of transport

from the top

from the side

to assemble HERMES horizontally in a production line. The height can be adjusted continuous u sing an integral spindle.

A unit to regulate compressed air can be assembled to the bracket, so can a warning light.

1. further dimensions can be provided on request

- Up to 80 percent savings on compressed air
- Labels applied onto variable heights using one print pad

Labels are applied in real time onto packagings of different heights.

A spring-mounted print pad enables labels be applied reliably even onto inclined surfaces. Three vacuum platess are provided for labels 40 mm to 100 mm high, 150 mm and 200 mm. Label widths are 50 mm to 105 mm in each case.

Labels are sucked without supporting air by an electrically driven fan. Only the stroke cylinder requires compressed air.

Accessories

Unit for compressed air regulation
4.5 bar default setting

Provided in a left-hand or right-hand design

Delivery includes a fine filter, a pressure control valve with a display, a hose for connecting to an applicator's compressed air input and material for assembling the unit to a chassis or a bracket.

Pressure-reducing valve
It reduces the pressure exerted by the stroke cylinder to a product.

Labels are applied in real time onto packagings in motion. Fronts or backs are preferred to tops or sides.

Printed labels are taken over by a pad on the peel-off plate. They are applied onto packagings by a rotary cylinder. A sensor detects the packagings and triggers the pivot arm and the pad return to their initial position.

1 Pivot arm length

2 Pivot angle 0 - 90°

Labels are applied in real time onto packagings at rest or in motion (depending on the pad in use). Labels can be applied from all sides.

Printed labels are taken over by the pad on the peel-off plate. They are applied onto packagings by a stroke cylinder. A sensor detects the packagings and triggers the pad return to its initial position. The length of the stroke cylinder defines the maximum distance of a packaging to the peel-off plate.

For further details see HERMES Q stroke applicator 4014, 4016.

Labels are applied in real time onto packagings of different heights while in motion. Labels can be applied from all sides.

Printed labels are taken over by a pad on the peel-off plate. They are moved by a stroke cylinder to a spot about 10 mm above a packaging, controlled by a sensor. The length of the stroke cylinder defines the maximum variations of packagings in terms of heights.

For ffurther details see HERMES Q stroke blow applicator 4614. The tamp pads are to be adapted.

Labels are applied in real time onto packagings in motion. Labels can be applied from all sides onto flat surfaces.

Printed labels are taken over on the peel-off plate. They move along a vacuum belt to the point of application and are applied onto packagings, triggered by an external signal.

Labels are applied in real time onto packagings in motion. Labels can be applied from all sides onto cylindric surfaces. Corner-wrap applications are as well possible.

Printed labels are taken over on the peel-off plate. They move along a vacuum belt to the point of application and are applied onto packagings, triggered by an external signal.

Labels are applied quickly onto packagings at rest or in motion.

The labels are sucked by a fan and then blown off by a powerful blast of air through aligned nozzles. Depending on the size of a label, packagings may be as far as 200 mm distant from the peel-off plate.
