3. Core Features & Technical Advantages
- Optimized for 3–20 mm diameter workpieces: Miniature photoelectric sensors with high magnification detect tiny objects in real time, ensuring stable positioning (even for 3mm diameter test tubes).
- Narrow-width precision conveyor (20–50 mm adjustable) eliminates "lost" or misaligned small items—solving a common pain point of standard labeling machines.
- Servo motor-driven labeling head + micro-positioning algorithm achieves ±0.2 mm accuracy—critical for pharmaceutical ampoules (batch coding must be clear and aligned) and high-end stationery (brand label aesthetics).
- Thin label adaptation: Specially calibrated label application roller prevents wrinkling or bubbling on small, curved surfaces (e.g., ball pen barrels, vial necks).
- Space-saving structure (1800*600*1500 mm): Fits in small workshops, laboratories, or production lines with limited floor space—no need for dedicated large equipment areas.
- Quick-adjustment knobs: Tool-free adjustment for object diameter and label position; switch between ampoules and ball pens in <5 minutes without complex disassembly.
- SS304 stainless steel + aluminum alloy frame resists corrosion and chemical cleaning agents—compliant with pharmaceutical GMP and laboratory hygiene requirements.
- Smooth, crevice-free surfaces allow easy sterilization (e.g., alcohol wiping) for cross-contamination prevention in medical/chemical applications.
- Touch screen interface displays real-time status (label remaining, object flow) and alerts for common issues (label shortage, object jam, sensor misalignment).
- Built-in troubleshooting guidance reduces downtime by 80% vs. manual labeling—ideal for teams without specialized technical staff.
