Miniaturizing component parts does in fact require more and more product identification on surfaces with minimum space.

The two-dimensional Datamatrix Code with the so-called Error Code Correction (ECC) is standard. Alpha-numerical information is mapped on smallest surfaces. Even in case of a slight damage this code offers data redundancy due to its error correction.

Specially for applying smallest labels cab as the major manufacturer of thermal transfer printers within Europe provides a new labeling system which complements the Hermes product line - Hermes A2-600 – with a print width of 2 inch and a print resolution of 600 dpi.

Combined with the Precision applicator Type 4400 labels are precisely printed and applied on the part to be marked. To compensate small tolerances the label`s position may be adjusted via pneumatic driven micro slides. That needs neither complex aligning of the component part nor the labeling system.

A transport system at the printer which may specially be adjusted avoids a „Tightening“ of the label roll and glue leakage on critical materials senitive to pressure.

Due to their compactness the Hermes labeling systems may be integrated in a simple way into assembly lines in any kind of mounting position. All current data interfaces and a digital interface for the commanding level are provided. All systems are also working „stand-alone“ without PC!

Often, safety covers or installation conditions make the operator`s access difficult. To facilitate the systems control and operation, the Hermes enables to be connected to an external operating panel with all system functions required.

Because of the integrated ABC Compiler for a free programming in BASIC the Hermes provides to carry out mathematical and logical operations without additional PC. Data interfaces can be controlled and data contents be linked to the label layouts. The printer, for instance, can ask for a data set from a data base itself.

A lot of industrial applications necessitate delivery of component parts including identification. Process availability is vitally important for such applications. The modular design enables cab to provide a worldwide service concept! Single parts as well as complete modules are available from stock.

All labeling systems are optimized with regard to air pressure consumption and correspond to the „Energy-Star“ regulations. Quality products - Made in Germany!
