Term
Explanation
Label size
Dictates the label format: Width x length (in the direction of feed
of the label liner measured in millimeters [mm]).
Labeling system
Dispensing system for automatically applying labels
Labeling operation
This is the same as automatic mode. The labeling system is
ready to print and dispense labels
Labeling system
The labeling system is used to label products automatically and
consists of several components (assembly groups), e.g. conveyor
belt, labeling system.
LED
The abbreviation of light-emitting diode
Low label prewarning Low
label warning
An optical sensor (reflective light sensor) for detection of an
(adjustable) minimum label roll diameter to provide a warning
Opacity
The transparency of a material can be measured by a light barrier
and is named opacity. The measuring sets the quantity of the
radiated light in proportion to the incoming light. The lower the
proportion, the lower is the opacity.
Outfeed
The outfeed forwards the products to the customer’s conveying
system. Here the products are removed.
Peeler plate
Metal plate about which the label is peeled off.
PLC
Programmable logic controller.
Poti/potentiometer
Changeable resistor (controller) for the analog control of labeling
system settings (such as the timing of the tamp movement in
relation to the rotary position of the potentiometer)
Product detector
A sensor for detecting the product. Most frequently, optical
sensors are used (photocells, light barriers, reflective sensors).
PSI
American unit of measure for compressed air.
(1 PSI = 0.06895 bar).
Pusher Roller
Pushes the label onto the product strongly sticking..
RFID
This abbreviation stands for radio frequency identification. This
technology is used to identify products so that they can be
tracked using smart labels (see RFID label ).
RFID label
The RFID label or also called Smart label is a particular label that
has a transponder onto which data can be written or read via
radio. The identification of products labeled in this way is possible
contactless by an antenna.
Service unit
This unit consists of:
A gauge for displaying the compression of
the compressed air (in bar)
Quick action stop valve
Water trap for manually draining any
condensate
Start sensor
See also “Product detector”. The start sensor scans the leading
edge of the product. As soon as a product is detected, the
labeling procedure starts. The label position on the product is
adjusted by the sensor position.
Touchscreen
Touch-controlled screen or monitor
Trigger signal
The signal from the sensor or PLC which is used to activate
application.
VAC
Alternating voltage
