5300 Tamp-Blow Label Printer Applicator

Model 5300 tamp-blow label printer applicatorThe Weber exclusive 5300 tamp-blow print-apply system provides high-resolution printing and high-speed operation combined with the highly-accurate tamp-blow method of label application. This allows you to add a non-contact method of labeling your products quickly and efficiently on your production line.

 Choose from a wide range of 203-, 300- and 600-dpi print engines from Zebra or Sato

• Thermal transfer or direct thermal printing

• Heavy-duty 24/7 usage
 Capable of handling print speeds up to 16 ips
 Numerous I/O's ease interfacing with external devices
 Monitor operation via a web browser

• Various tamp lengths and pad sizes available
 Available with RFID capability


Increase Labeling Efficiency with Transthin 400 Labels

Do you run high-speed labeling systems on your production lines? Our new Transthin 400 is a blank thermal-transfer label material that features both a thinner facesheet and a thinner release liner. The facesheet is just 2.1 mils thick but still retains the excellent dispensing characteristics required for successful print-apply application.  

Transthin 400 label materialThe release liner is just 1.5 mils thick but also retains the strength needed for the tension of the rewind reel. Transthin 400 uses a versatile acrylic emulsion adhesive that is well suited for corrugated and plastic packaging. 

The combination of a thinner liner and thinner facesheet adds up to more labels per 12" roll. Typically a 4" x 6" roll now contains 3820 labels (1950') instead of just 2500. That's over 50% more labels per roll! And that means you can run your production line longer without as many changeover stops and starts.

Features

5300 Tamp-Blow Label Printer Applicator
Model 5300 print apply systemWeber's Model 5300 tamp-blow system is redefining the meaning of versatility in pressure-sensitive label printing and application.

In addition to offering a broad selection of high-quality print engines that feature various print resolutions and label dispensing rates, this Model 5300 system is available with optional RFID print-encode engines.

Standard direct- and thermal-transfer print engines from manufacturers Zebra, SATO and Datamax produce text, bar codes and graphic images at 203, 300 or 600 dpi. The Zebra-based RFID models combine these printing capabilities with the encoding and verification of RFID inlays to meet EPC Gen 2 protocols.

Special Features & Options

The Model 5300 tamp-blow system includes a number of noteworthy features that add to the operational versatility of this printer-applicator.

• Tamp-blow application. This is a very popular method of air-assisted label placement used with standard applications, and is particularly useful in the labeling of recessed areas. A printed label is fed onto a tamp pad and held by vacuum, a pneumatic cylinder extends to within .25 inch of the product, and the label is blown onto its surface to a placement accuracy of 0.03".

Browser-based monitoring. The status of all operational functions and configurations can be monitored by logging on to a web page that is unique to each Model 5300 unit.

Numerous I/O's. The system can be interfaced with many types of external devices.

One-to-one media consumption. Special label unwind and rewind dimensions are matched to the system's ribbon supply to ensure they are consumed at the same rate, reducing downtime and eliminating partial changeovers.

Print job storage. Multiple label printing formats can be stored in the system's memory, making it easier for an operator to select a job directly from the applicator instead of downloading a computer file.

The Model 5300 tamp-blow system boasts numerous additional features as well, including an upgradeable microprocessor controller, various inputs/outputs, plus durable construction that will withstand harsh industrial environments.

There also are several optional enhancements that can increase the system's functionality. A product height sensor, for example, enables the printer-applicator to label items of varying heights delivered by the same conveyor.

Other options include a 15-foot umbilical connection that enables the remote location of the unit's controller; an adjustable stand for optimum system orientation; label-on-pad and product-presence sensors; plus beacon light alerts to signal the status of label and ribbon supplies.
