The present invention relates to a punch foot (1) for a label punch (2) of a device (3) for labeling individual packs (4), having a punch foot housing (5) which in an extent direction (E) extends from a first housing end (5a) having a first housing opening (6a) to a second housing end (5b) having a second housing opening (6b); having a pressure duct (7) which in the punch foot housing (5) extends from the first housing opening (6a) in the extent direction (E); having a perforated plate (8) which closes the second housing opening (6b) and is connected to the punch foot housing (5), by way of which at least one primary nozzle (9) extends in an orientation direction (V); having a pressure chamber (10) which in the punch foot housing (5) extends from the perforated plate (8) counter to the extent direction (E) and which in a manner orthogonal to the extent direction (E) is on all sides delimited by a punch foot housing wall portion (11); having a connection portion (12) which in the punch foot housing (5) in the extent direction (E) extends between the pressure duct (7) and the pressure chamber (10) and which connects the pressure duct (7) to the pressure chamber (10); and having a control element (13) which is disposed in the pressure chamber (10) and which is movable between two terminal positions (I, II) that effect dissimilar flows through the pressure chamber (10); whereby the at least one primary nozzle (9) connects the pressure chamber (10) to the environment of the punch foot housing (5). In order for the handling to be simplified, the invention proposes that at least one secondary nozzle (14) which connects the pressure chamber (10) to the environment of the punch foot housing (5) extends through the punch foot housing wall portion (11) that delimits the pressure chamber (10) on all sides in a manner orthogonal to the extent direction (E). The invention furthermore relates to a device (3) and to a method for labeling individual packs (4).

The present application relates to a method and system for labeling one or more products such as packages transported along a conveyer, and more specifically to applying a label on a respective package by way of a vertically adjustable assembly positioned above the conveyor. The adjustable assembly includes at least a label printer and an applicator for printing and applying the label on a surface of the package on the conveyor.

Devices, systems, and methods for automatically printing and applying one or more label to at least one item to enable shipping of the at least one item by a carrier are provided. In some aspects, a movable label applicator device includes a printer for printing the one or more label onto a supply of labeling material, wherein the one or more printed label contains unique information associated with the at least one item. In some aspects, the device further includes an applicator for applying the one or more printed label to a surface of the at least one item, wherein the applicator is configured to apply multiple labels to the surface of the at least one item such that the multiple labels are removably stacked on top of one another.

A label applicator with a label peeling function includes a frame supported by a support machine, a suction unit that is supported by the frame and has a suction pad, a claw member having a sharp tip that is disposed under the suction pad, a moving mechanism that is supported by the frame, and supports the claw member so as to be movable in an up-down direction relative to the suction pad, and a lock device that locks movement of the claw member in the up-down direction relative to the suction pad, in a state where the suction pad is placed on top of and in contact with an end of a label lying on the tip of the claw member.

An automatic high speed labeling machine with an improved label stripper is provided capable of applying 700 to 1,000 labels to individual produce items in a single lane, without tearing the label carrier strip. The improved label stripper has a contoured surface wherein only the center section contacts the label carrier strip. The edges of the carrier strip are prevented from contacting the label stripper surface.

A labelling device having a label dispenser and transfer device for transferring a row of labels delivered to the transfer device to an article web. The transfer device may include at least one vertically adjustable slide assembly mounted thereon for pressing the labels onto the article web, and the slide assembly may comprise a base plate and a plurality of pressing elements. The slide assembly may further comprise at least one cassette module assembled with the base plate, and one or more of the pressing elements may be arranged on each of the cassette modules.

The present disclosure provides an automatic labeling apparatus and method, as well as an assembly jig and method, the automatic labeling apparatus includes an attachment platform provided with an attachment surface, an attachment unit provided with a label receiving surface, and a separation unit, wherein the separation unit is configured to separate a label from a label base paper to the label receiving surface with a glue surface of the label away from the label receiving surface, the label receiving surface being configured to make the glue surface of the label higher than the attachment surface when the label is on the label receiving surface.

A labelling method includes receiving an occupied signal from a conveyor indicating that the next spot on the conveyor is occupied with an object to be labeled and instructing a turret motor to rotate a turret continuously from one application position to another application position to apply a second label to the second object. The method then includes determining the absence of an occupied signal within a time threshold, and instructing the turret motor to rotate the turret to an intermediate position and to slow the turret at the intermediate position. The intermediate position is between two consecutive application positions. The method then includes receiving another occupied signal indicating that the next spot on the conveyor is occupied, and instructing the turret motor to rotate the turret to the next application position to apply a third label to the object.

An apparatus and method for labelling packs including an advancement device for transporting a pack in a transporting direction, a dispensing device for dispensing a label into a dispensing position, and an application device for applying the dispensed label to the pack. A punch including a punch shank and punch foot moves the dispensed label from a receiving position, where the punch foot receives the label, to a discharging position, where the label is applied to the pack by the punch foot. The punch shank is pivotally mounted about a first pivot axis transverse to the transporting direction, and is movable axially in a guide element. The punch shank is connected to a lifting element of a lifting device via an articulation. The lifting element is movable parallel to a direction angled relative to the transporting direction. A first drive with a motor drives the lifting element.

Generation of a wrinkle is prevented when a sticker is affixed to an object. A sticker affixing system includes an articulated robot, a controller configured to control the articulated robot, a suction tool attached to a distal end of the articulated robot, and a force sensor configured to detect force applied to the suction tool. The controller causes the articulated robot to execute: an operation of moving the suction tool holding a sticker along a surface of an object to which the sticker is affixed; and an operation of adjusting an inclination of the suction tool with respect to a traveling direction (roll axis) of the suction tool and the traveling direction of the suction tool based on a signal from the force sensor.
