Printing and labeling fully automatically in industrial applications

Full functionality, high reliability, comfortable operation and low downtime related to maintenance! The PX Q print and peel-off  module has been designed specifically for printing and labeling fully automatically in industrial applications. It can be integrated in any orientation of assembly to solve even complex marking tasks.

A torsion-resistant cast aluminum construction is basis to assemble all the components of the print mechanics. Food-safe coating and stainless steel casings add to the perfect shape with special features. Screwing is compatible to the devices of competitors.

The universal one

Industrial device for accurate imprint.

1.1 Print module	PX Q4.3		PX Q4
Printable resolution dpi	203	300	300	600
Print speed up to mm/s	250	250	300	150
Print width up to mm	104	108.4	105.7	105.7

1 Operation panel
Operating the device is intuitive and simple with the help of self-explanatory symbols to configure settings

2 Ribbon holder
Three-part tightening axles enable the ribbon to be replaced quickly and easily.

3 Rugged metal chassis
made of cast aluminum; basis to assemble all units

4 Plungers
One plunger is fixed on the inner side. A second one is moved that far to the label margin, until a good print image evokes.

5 Print head
All print heads are freely interchangeable at equal width. Easy replacement

6 Automatic ribbon saving (option)
The print head is lifted during label feed and the ribbon is stopped.

7 Print roller removal
It can be easily removed or inserted in the cases of cleaning or wear.

8 Simple replacement of materials
Label materials are inserted until lateral stop. The print head and wipe-down rollers are locked by levers.

9 Label sensor
A gap sensor or a reflective sensor position the imprint precisely on the label and detect the end of the material.

10 Material backfeed
After a label has been peeled off, the next one can be retracted to behind the print line. By this, the whole label can be printed and adhesive leaking is avoided during a longer pause. In case sensitive materials are processed and to prevent the ribbon from wrinkling, the print head can be lifted.

Imprint accuracy
The smaller a label, the higher are the requirements on the imprint accuracy. With the help of the adjustable slip correction, print offset can be reduced by ±0.2 mm.

Operation panel

Operating the device is intuitive and simple with the help of self-explanatory symbols to configure settings.

External operation panel

If the operation panel of a printer cannot be accessed, an additional external one can be plugged.

Same functionality as on the printer

Landscape or portrait mode

Operability as desired on the external operation panel or on the printer

Printer connectivity: USB 2.0 Hi-Speed device

1 LED: Power ON

2 USB slot to plug a service key or a memory stick, to transfer data to the IFFS memory

3 Connecting USB cable for power supply cab provides specified cables. Lengths are 1.8 m to 16 m.
