Robotic labelling makes sense

Epson's demo of a SCARA T6 robot with a label apply head. It picks labels printed by Epson Colorworks C6000Pe and places them on the top and sides of a box.

Economic sense

Robots are perfect for applying labels on items that vary from batch to batch. Expect a simple robotic labelling installation to payback in a year for single shift operation, much sooner for 24x7.

Production sense

Robotic systems can handle different labelling requirements for each item. Dual printers allow uninterrupted operation, the robot switching to printer B when printer A needs reloading.

Marketing sense

A robotic colour labelling system offers endless possibilities for customer engagement as well as product differentiation, compliance information, and logistics data .

Logistics sense

Logistics labels can be colour coded to facilitate handling. Robotic labellers can integrate with order processing systems and serialise every item for tracking and traceability.

Colorworks label printers

This Colorworks video shows the capabilities of C6000 series industrial colour label printers and illustrates the robotic labelling concept. Advanced ink jet technology lets you print labels on demand with hi-res text, barcodes and vibrant graphics on plain stock.

Codeway apply heads

This Codeway apply head on an automated production line applies pairs of self adhesive pads to a plastic sub-assembly. The die-cut self-adhesive pads are dispensed by a label applicator on to the transfer platen shown in the video.
