Product description
Product name
LA -TO is the abbreviation for "Label Applicator Touch-On". The abbreviation ‘TO’
(touch on) distinguishes this applicator from other application techniques such as
‘blow on’ or ‘swing on’.
The LA -TO XL is a LA -TO with more stroke length.
For reasons of clarity in this manual, the LA -TO XL is only mentioned separately, if its
specifications or its use differ from the „standard“ LA -TO.
Intended Use of System
The LA-TO applicator is a device for automatic attachement of self-adhesive labels,
which are supplied to the applicator by one of the following label dispensers or print &
apply machines.
Dispensers:
•
ALS 20x
•
ALS 256
•
ALS 30x
Print & apply machines:
•
ALX 73x
•
ALX 92x
The LA -TO is firmly attached to the respective machine. In contrast to direct dispens-
ing from the dispensing edge of the machine onto the product, the LA-TO can bridge
distances of up to 18 cm (LA -TO XL: 38 cm) between dispensing edge and product.
Configurations
The LA -TO is available in both right-handed and left-handed versions. LA -TO and dis-
penser must be of the same handedness, that is both must be RH or LH versions.
Furthermore, the LA -TO is available in two versions:
•
For mounting to the base plate of an ALX 92x
•
For mounting to the dispensing edge holder for L-shape dispensing edges at the
following machines: ALX 73x, ALS 20x/256, ALS 30x
