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).

A machine for carrying out at least one operation onto a first article and a second article is disclosed. The machine comprises feeding means for advancing a succession of the first article and the second article along a path and with a first speed; a first operative group, which comprises a first tool configured for carrying out operation onto the first article and which can be operated with a second speed associated to the first speed; gap creating means selectively controllable to create a first gap, which is arranged inside succession and is bounded between the first article and the second article; and a second operative group, which comprises a second tool configured for carrying out operation onto the second article and which can be operated at the second speed.

An apparatus for labeling a package (1) including an advancing device (2) for transporting the package in a transport direction (X) and an application device (3) for applying a dispensed label (4) to the package. The application device includes an oscillating punch (7) having a punch stem (5) and a punch foot (6) connected thereto. The dispensed label is picked up by the punch foot from a pickup position, moved to a deposit position, and applied by the punch foot to the package. The punch stem is movably mounted on a guide element (8), held in a direction of gravitational force (Y) by a holder (9), and mounted pivotably about a horizontal pivot axis (X1) that runs orthogonal to the direction of gravitational force. The guide element carries at least one component of the holder and is pivotable about the pivot axis. Also a labeling method that utilizes the apparatus.

An apparatus (1) for labelling a package (2) including an advancing device (3), a dispensing device (4), an application device (6) and a control device (7). The application device includes a punch (10) having a punch shank (8) with a second shank end (8b) to which a punch foot (9) for moving a dispensed label (5) from at least one receiving position (A, A) to at least one delivery position (B) is connected, and a plurality of motors (11, 12, 13, 14) controlled by the control device, each of which is configured to move the punch shank in a direction parallel to one of at least three different directions (X, Y, Z, C). The motors are mounted such that during simultaneous movement of the punch shank by the motors, none of the motors change position relative to another of the motors. A method for labelling a package is also disclosed.

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.

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.

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.
