Photocell for labels, transmission, reflection down Vario III/V Carl Valentin 9056996

Carl Valentin 9056996 label photocell, transmissive, bottom reflection Vario III/V

The Carl Valentin 9056996 label photocell is a complete optical sensor (label photocell cpl.) designed for the Vario III and Vario V industrial printers. It combines transmissive detection with bottom reflection detection, providing an extremely flexible solution for identifying label edges and reference marks (black marks).

Available as a factory option for new printers (surcharge for a new printer), the photocell is ideal for labeling applications îin which various label formats, special materials or back-printed markings are used. By combining the two optical principles, it ensures very precise positioning of the print even in difficult conditions.

Main features

• Label photocell cpl. Vario III – Transmission and reflection below;
• Combined optical sensor: transmission + reflection below;
• Detects both the label edge and printed marks (black marks) on the substrate;
• Optimized for precise positioning of labels when printing;
• Option for new printers – must be ordered together with the printer (not a standard retrofit);
• Original Carl Valentin part, designed for continuous industrial use.

Printer compatibility

The Carl Valentin 9056996 transmission + reflection label photocell is compatible with:

• Label printer Carl Valentin Vario III
• Label printer Carl Valentin Vario V

Role and mode of operation

• Transmission mode – detects the edge of the label on the liner for correct feeding;
• Bottom reflection mode – reads color marks (e.g. black marks) printed on the back;
• Allows adaptation of settings to different types of label materials and layouts;
• Transmits to the printer the exact point at which the feed should be stopped for print positioning;
• Ensures stable label registration, even at high print speeds.

Recommended applications

• Production and packaging lines with continuous labeling or print & apply;
• Labeling on boxes, trays, bags, bottles, technical products and subassemblies;
• Applications that use labels with windows, transparent areas or special markings on the support;
• Labeling systems integrated in automated lines with high precision requirements;
• Traceability and barcode applications in logistics, warehousing and production.

Operational benefits

• The transmission + reflection combination offers very high flexibility for various types of labels;
• Reduces advance and offset errors of print area to graphic area;
• Allows the use of complex label layouts without compromising positioning;
• ÎImproves labeling quality and repeatability îin industrial applications;
• As a factory-installed option, it does not require further modifications or complicated retrofit;
• High reliability, specific to original Carl Valentin components.
