RFID Print/Apply System

Low-Cost RFID Print/Apply System

NEW From Diagraph, An ITW Company:

St. Louis, MO. . . Diagraph has recently announced the release of a mid-range automated RFID printer/applicator capable of performing encoding rates of 32 products per minute with reject capability. This system incorporates the patented TampTenna™, which allows RFID encoding to be performed outside of printer, on the tamp pad itself. With this field-proven technology, only Diagraph can offer RFID with the reliable SATO Lt408 printer. The full system is delivered with the PA/4600 unit, RFID TampTenna™, Reject Module, Warning Tower, and Stand. If higher application rates are required, a PA/6000 RFID system is available which handles rates in excess of 100 printed, encoded, and verified tags per minute.

The PA4600 RFID Label Printer/Applicator is one of the Platinum Series Label Print/Apply Systems from Diagraph. The Platinum Series is Diagraph’s 4th generation automated labeling systems. These printer/applicators are quality engineered and built for performance, reliability and ease of use. They deliver everything you need, exactly what you want, and more than you expect.

  • 13” high-strength ABS unwind roll
  • 128 x 64 graphic touch-screen user interface
  • 10” or 20” dual-rod, high-speed cylinder
  • Extend/retract high-flow pneumatic speed controls
  • Long life cylinder (est. 10 million cycles MTBF)
  • Modular pneumatic manifold
  • Selectable tamp or tamp/blow application mode
  • Baseplate-mounted product sensor (can be relocated)
  • Quick-change tamp pads
  • Patented pivoting tamp pads for labels up to 6” long
  • Non-clutched, magneto-tensioned rewind with Kevlar belt & brushless DC motor
  • Auto-purging filter/regulator with OSHA-approved shutoff
  • Swing-under yoke can bolt directly to conveyor
  • Print-on-demand with standard product sensor or optional second sensor
  • Tested and approved to UL/CSA 60950, FCC, and CE requirements by TUV America.
  • Optional discrete IO module
  • Optional wireless/wired Ethernet module

    Using pigmented ink in printers, especially ‘white ink’, often presents daily challenges compared to standard dye-based ink printers that result in more downtime. These challenges often include more frequent servicing and daily cleaning.
  • Avoid Labeling Mistakes by Removing Plant Air Posted last year
    All-electric label applicators revolutionize the packaging industry by eliminating the reliance on plant air, providing precise applicator control for consistent and accurate label placement and ensuring secure label control for various label sizes.
  • Is training production line workers creating a challenge? No problem!  Posted 7 years ago
    Companies rely on engineers or technicians to keep production lines up and running. These job functions are essential to hitting production targets, so it is key that their skill level on equipment is proficient. When making the decision to replace this equipment, the amount of time and money that will have to be invested in training your labor is a major deciding factor.
  • Don’t let fast drying ink slow down your CIJ coding process Posted last year
    Continuous inkjet printers (CIJ) use super-fast drying solvent-based inks. One of the technology challenges presented by these inks is that they aren’t too particular wherethey dry. With CIJ technology, the formation of drops from an inkjet stream creates a mist (or satellite drops) which builds up a layer of ink over time on the components inside the CIJ print head, causing print failure. Routine cleaning of ink with solvent from the components in a print head is required to maintain best print quality and uptime.
  • How do I get labels to stick in hot and humid environments? Posted 5 years ago
    Something to be aware of when considering using labeling for product identification in a hot or humid environment is that labels are sensitive to temperature, making facility environment temperature a determining factor in choosing what label material to use on a product.
