CAB IXOR + Labelling Dispenser

Cap, CAB IXOR + label dispenser

CAB IXOR + is a high performance industrial label and dispenser head designed for integration into automatic production, packaging and logistics lines. The system combines servo drive, modular construction and advanced control for applications where high speeds, precise positioning and continuous operation are required.

Depending on the reformer and reformer configuration, IXOR + can operate with label band speeds up to 50, 75 or 120 m / min. Configurations up to 200 m / min on request.

CAB IXOR + – industrial labelling at high speeds

IXOR + is designed for automatic labelling applications where the speed of the transporter, accuracy and availability of the system are critical. The unit may be mounted vertically or horizontally and provide labels to the left or right side.

• Tape speed up to 120 m / min in the high performance standard configuration
• Up to 200 m / min on request
• Variants for bands not exceeding 62, 124 and 186 mm
• Vertical or horizontal mounting
• Providing labels to the left or to the right
• Mechanical or motorised rewinding or rewinding apparatus
• Modular construction for integration into industrial installations
• Electronic control of material voltage

Mechanical and motorised configurations

CAB IXOR + can be configured according to the speed and size of the application.

Mechanical refurbishment and refurbishment

The mechanical configuration allows speeds of the label band up to 50 m / min. The reformer and the rerobinator shall use pendulum arms and mechanical tensile systems to maintain the band constant.

Mechanical reformer and motorised redriver

By using a motorised reb, maximum speed may increase to 75 m / min.

Drivers and motorised retraveller

For high-speed applications, IXOR + can use both a motor and a motor reformer. This configuration allows speeds up to 120 m / minand for special projects cabs offer variants up to 200 m / min on request.

The brushless engines actively control the supply and restart of the material, keeping the band voltage constant even at high speeds.

Compatible dimensions and materials

IXOR + is available in three widths, allowing the system to adapt to a wide range of industrial labels.

The system may process labels from paper and synthetic materials such as PET, PE, PP and PVC. Rolls with inner or outer winding are accepted.

High capacity label rollers

Depending on the configuration, the retractor may use rolls with an external diameter of 310 or 410 mm. The motorised reformer uses rollers up to 410 mmand variants up to 510 mm be available on request.

The high capacity of the reel reduces the frequency of changes in consumables and helps to increase the availability of the line in high volume applications.

Tactile panel and intuitive configuration

CAB IXOR + is equipped with an operating panel with color touch screen 3,5 ‘. The panel can be rotated 180 °, facilitating operation regardless of the system orientation.

The interface allows direct configuration of important process parameters:

• the speed of the label band;
• synchronisation with product speed;
• the position of the label on the product;
• multiple labelling;
• start conditions;
• pre-dispensing;
• delay of starting and stopping;
• detection of lack of labels;
• control of external modules and applicators;
• diagnosis of inputs and outputs.

Synchronization with production line

Interface SYNC allows synchronisation of the speed of the label band with the speed of products transported on conveyor via an encoder.

Thus, the application position can be kept constant even when line speed varies, an important function for high-speed industrial applications.

Interfaces for industrial automation

IXOR + offers a wide range of interfaces for integration into machines and automatic systems:

• Ethernet for TCP / IP communication;
• WLAN integrated into the operating panel;
• I / O Industrial according to IEC / EN 61131-2;
• START b.
• SYNC for synchronisation with an encoder;
• PRINT & APPLY for connection and control of a printer or transfer module;
• STOP for connecting a label sensor;
• PowerBus for powered components.

Inputs and outputs can be viewed, simulated or forced directly from the system to simplify installation, testing and troubleshooting.

Integration with PLC and industrial systems

IXOR + can communicate with higher-level control systems and be integrated into Industry 4.0 infrastructures.

Protocols such as:

• MQTT;
• Modbus TCP;
• UA CIU;
• Profinet.

Through the network, PLCs and industrial computers can access parameters, I / O signals and system error messages.

Firmware, maintenance and diagnosis

CAB IXOR + Firmware is based on an embedded Linux system and offers advanced functions for system management and maintenance.

• web interface;
• event log;
• XML diagnostic files;
• backup and configuration restoration;
• import and export of configurations;
• firmware updates;
• remote diagnostics;
• PC, smartphone or tablet control via VNC LAN / WLAN.

Redundancy for critical processes

Two IXOR + units may operate redundant in an Ethernet network for lines where stopping labelling must be avoided.

In such a configuration, one system achieves labelling and the second remains in standby. If the active unit has a problem, e.g. end of the label roll, the backup system can take over the process.

Dispensing modules for different applications

IXOR + modular architecture allows the use of several types of modules to adapt the system to product geometry and application mode.

• SP – standard dispensation mode;
• SPE – adjustable dispensing plate module between 0 ° and 90 °;
• SPFA – spring compensation module for curved surfaces or products with different heights;
• SPZP – version with pneumatic pivot dispensing plate;
• SPAP – pneumatic swivel application reel module.

Rolls and brushes for the application of labels

Once the label on the liner has been removed, it may be pressed precisely on the product using a roller or brush.

For different working environments are available:

• standard open cell foam rollers;
• FDA approved silicone rolls for food applications and clean room;
• application brushes for standard labels.

Sensors for precise positioning of labels

IXOR + may use CAB sensors to accurately detect the position of labels:

• CEON – inductive sensor with ceramic probe;
• GAB 500-1 – fork optical sensor;
• GAB 500-2 – adjustable optical sensor.

The CEON sensor can be calibrated directly from the IXOR + panel and the calibration process requires only two labels.

IP66 industrial protection

CAB IXOR + has protection class IP66 and is designed for operation at temperatures between 0 and 40 ° C. Power supply is universal, 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz.

These features make IXOR + suitable for integration into industrial installations where robustness, high availability and increased equipment protection are required.

Choose CAB IXOR + configuration suitable for application

The optimal configuration of an IXOR + system depends on the speed of the transporter, the dimensions of the label, the diameter of the reel, the mounting position, the type of product, the necessary sensors and how the label is to be applied.
