New Stretch Sleeve Label Applicator from Axon Rated at 80 CPM

November 18, 2009

Raleigh, NC - Axon, a division of Pro Mach, introduces the fastest and easiest to use and maintain stretch sleeve label applicator in the company's history - the ST-2650. This advanced new applicator applies LDPE stretch sleeve labels to as many as 80 containers per minute (CPM) - a 33 percent increase over the unit it replaces.

The ST-2650's built-in intelligence and three axis electronic servo motion controls achieve a "one-cycle" changeover rate. Operators simply enter a new speed and/or a new label release height on a color touch screen interface panel, and the ST-2650 automatically adjusts for the new parameters within one cycle. This unit is ideal for high throughput labeling of bottles, jugs, and other containers up to five liters in capacity.

A host of features simplify maintenance and contribute to optimum uptime. These features include:

  • Identification of I/O status and fault history on the maintenance screen of the operator panel
  • Valves and sensors that can be changed without having to open the electrical panel door - quick connect cabling is featured
  • No chains or belts to adjust or timers to set
  • Rail-type bearings that require lubrication only once every six months. (Six month lubrication based on operating one eight-hour shift per day.)
