THE WORLD'S MOST ACCURATE LABEL PRINTER
/ APPLICATOR!
New from the creators of EASYLABEL®...
The APOLLO 1 Printer-Applicator is
designed to be the world's most accurate label applicator! Created for
small, delicate, high-precision print
and apply applications, the APOLLO is ideal for electronic components,
printed circuit boards, pharmaceutical and medical applications, cosmetics,
automotive parts, plastic parts, assemblies and much more!
SMALL LABELS, HIGH ACCURACY
With a sleek design, and clean, quiet
operation, the APOLLO 1 Applicator provides you with a comprehensive, yet
inexpensive solution for high precision, high accuracy print and apply
requirements. The APOLLO 1 Applicator is a pneumatic tamp applicator that
offers the flexibility of manual or automatic operation. The Applicator
can be activated by foot switch, photo-sensor, proximity sensor, or can
be interfaced with a PLC.
The unit attaches to the APOLLO 1 Printer
creating a compact unit, with a small overall footprint, that allows for
a variety of integration options for most manufacturing environments. The
Applicator can apply a wide range of label sizes from 0.2" to 3.1" high,
and 0.50" to 4.5" wide. The smallest label end-users are currently applying
is .5" wide x .2" high.
NEARLY 4 TIMES MORE ACCURATE!
While most applicators apply labels with
an accuracy of +/- 1/32", some APOLLO field installations currently are
applying labels with an accuracy of +/- 1/125"... nearly four times more
accurate. Why? While most applicators use one guide rod, the APOLLO uses
three, a combination that offers far more precision. Also, while most printers
present the label to the applicator, the APOLLO 1 Applicator does the opposite
by moving back to the printer to get it. By retrieving the label directly
from the printer peel edge in this fashion, furthur consistancy is achieved
by utilizing the more precise movements of the applicator. Accuracy is
affected by the combination of label stock and ribbon, and by environmental
conditions. The APOLLO Applicator is actually capable of precision greater
than the ability of many label converters to produce a consistent spacing
from label to label, due to the web tension variances of some types of
presses.
STATE-OF-THE-ART LABEL PRINTING PERFORMANCE
The new APOLLO 1 thermal/thermal transfer
label printer features 300 dpi print resolution and incorporates advanced
label handling capabilities. These handling features provide you with extremely
tight registration, insuring your format is placed consistently at the
same position, label after label. This gives the APOLLO 1 the ability to
handle a wide range of label materials including paper, polyester and high-temperature
polyester. The APOLLO 1 Printer gives you workhorse-like production too.
Recent units back for maintenance exceeded 33 million inches of output!
The APOLLO 1 features a high-speed
32-bit processor with 2 MB of RAM (much more standard RAM than any other
label printer) ideal for downloading TrueType fonts or graphics, creating
dramatic labels with impeccable print quality on bar codes, graphics and
text. While most label printers offer 1 resident scalable font or none
at all, the APOLLO 1 features 3 printer-resident scalable typefaces. I-Mark
sensing, and a back-lit LCD display for higher readability in dimly lit
areas, internal rewind and ribbon saver are also standard.
APOLLO 1 supports all the popular bar
codes, including UPC/EAN, Code 39, Code 128 and Interleaved 2 of 5, as
well as two-dimensional symbologies like PDF417 and DataMatrix with ECC200
.
OPTIONAL STAND-ALONE CAPABILITY
The APOLLO 1 also features the ability
to work with or without a computer attached, giving you much more flexibility
in meeting your labeling requirements. This stand-alone feature is ideal
for saving work space, environments harsh to computers and eliminates "computer"
operator training. APOLLO 1 is also great for printing labels in remote
locations, thus eliminating the need for additional computers.
