In the matter of mechanics, the IXOR can be ideally integrated in fully automatic labeling machines with the help of a modular construction kit. It can also be assembled to the conveyor belt of a production line by means of accessorial stands. Pre-printed labels are applied on products or packaging fast and precisely.
The device has the control unit integrated, a separate control cabinet is not required. The base unit can be selected from four structural widths in right-hand and left-hand designs. Unwinders pick up label rolls with 410 mm maximum outside diameter.
Zero downtime is possible through a redundant system.
The labeling head is a key component for smart production. The LAN and WLAN interfaces enable the device to be connected to the superior control units of machines.
MQTT ensures cross-platform and future-proof communication, while Modbus, OPC UA and Ethernet/IP are available on demand. Protocols are kept simple and lean, machine and plant data can be submitted event-driven. If data values change, updates are possible in real time.

The subsequent illustration shows a very common IXOR version. This configuration is characterized by an economic and compact construction.
The unwinder and the rewinder are mounted directly on the base unit and operate without a separate drive. In contrast, the illustration below shows an IXOR with a motor-driven unwinder and a motor-driven rewinder, enabling to process large label rolls.
1 Rewinder
When the labels have been peeled off, the liner tape is rewound.
