The Impresso Labeler is our customizable industrial label applicator, capable of precise and accurate label placement. Contributing to the accurate placement is our robust MFT Friction Feeder which feeds products one by one for labeling. The strong belts grip the product to keep it from skewing for better label placement.  The system includes infrared sensors for an accurate count and double-detect and overlap detection for high accuracy rates. Designed for long production runs and demanding applications, Impresso Labeler and Friction Feeder System reliably provides years of uninterrupted service. Come see this amazing system run at interpack 2023 at Booth C38-7 in Hall 15!

Impresso Labeler and Friction Feeder System

Our IMPRESSO Labeler and Friction Feeder System utilize an ip3 series friction feeder and our innovative IMPRESSO labeler in a compact configuration that allows the System to be highly mobile and have a cost-effective footprint. The Labeler and Friction Feeder System’s intuitive and easy-to-reach single-sided controls provide exceptionally efficient operation. Designed for long production runs, the IMPRESSO Labeler and Friction Feeder System provide years of uninterrupted and quality service.

Roll-to-Sheet Cutting System

The Roll-to-Sheet Cutting System incorporates a module-speed unwind web feeding to a driven discharge cutter system that is ideal for a variety of cutting and placing applications. The servo-driven roll unwind and driven discharges combine to make lightning-fast feeding and cutting. The system maintains consistent light web tension by signaling the unwind to release more product as the driven discharges move the web through the system. The speed and accurate placement and cutting of sheets, film, wrap, soaker pads, or other material is maximized via a fast and accurate shearing blade motion of the pneumatic guillotine cutter (320mm cutting area), and pneumatic air blast pad transfers. Set up and operation is easy, with roll capacities maximums reaching 22 inches (diameter) or 150 lbs.

Robotic Integration

We’re excited to be showcasing our knowledge in Automation Robotics. Partnering with Mitsubishi Electric, we have taken a deep dive into how to integrate robotics into our total system solutions. Our robotic capabilities range from simple pick-and-place applications to more complex packaging needs. Robotic integration brings many benefits to any packaging line and is the perfect piece to finish off a fully integrated system. Stop by our booth to see our automation and robotics knowledge in action with a live demo of a robotic arm!
