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, and a suction tool attached to a distal end of the articulated robot. The suction tool includes a suction portion configured to hold a sticker and a pressing portion configured to affix the sticker to an object to which the sticker is affixed. The controller causes the articulated robot to execute an operation of inclining a suction surface of the suction portion with respect to a surface of the object and an operation of moving the suction tool along the surface of the object. The pressing portion presses the sticker against the surface of the object while the suction tool moves along the surface of object.

A label vacuum-grip cylinder calibration system comprising an indicator support holder supporting a first indicator and a second indicator. The indicators each have a display face with a display. Projection areas of the display faces project perpendicularly from the display faces. The indicator support holder supports the first indicator and the second indicator such that a first projection area and a second projection area do not overlap and neither the first indicator nor the second indicator obscures either display.

A label including a first strip including a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The first strip includes an opaque material. The first strip further includes a first area proximate the first end. The first area includes a first length along a longitudinal axis common to the first strip. The label also includes a second strip including a third end and a fourth end opposite the third end, wherein the second strip includes a transparent material. The second strip is laminated over the first strip such that the third end is disposed outside the first area. The fourth end extends beyond the second end a distance at least equal to the first length.

A labelling apparatus for labelling a tray while the tray is conveyed by a conveyor means. A label feeder device is configured to place a label onto a top surface of the tray. A first tucker device is arranged sidewise to the conveyor means and includes an applicator block. A first moving mechanism is configured to move the applicator block in a back and forth direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the tray. The applicator block is movable from an initial position to a labelling position where the applicator block presses the portion of the label exceeding a side surface of the tray such that the applicator block follows the shape of the side surface of the tray via a rotational movement of the applicator block around the rotation axis.

Label application system and method for applying labels to packages of various sizes and shapes, adaptable for use in a wide range of facilities. The system comprises a gripper for retrieving the label, wherein the gripper releasably and minimally contacts the adhesive side of the label. The system further comprises one or more applicators for firmly applying the label to the package. Movement of the gripper and/or applicators is controlled by a servo-actuated delta-type robot.

A label wrapping device configured to warp a label around a cable includes a stripping part, a conveying roller, an insertion recess, a driving part and a controller. The conveying roller conveys the label peeled off a release paper by the stripping part in a conveying direction along a conveying path. The insertion recess is positioned downstream of the conveying roller in the conveying direction and is open toward the conveying path. The controller is configured to control the driving part: (a) to enable the conveying roller to convey the label peeled off the release paper in the conveying direction; and (b) to enable the conveying roller to halt conveyance of the label when an upstream end of the label becomes positioned downstream relative to the stripping part in the conveying direction and after the label covers at least a portion of an opening of the insertion recess.
