Overview

ALcount is a reel to reel rewinder system for roll format labels with the facility to count a set quantity of labels and or check labels are all present on the reel if so required.

In more detail the unit can

• rewind labels clockwise or anti-clockwise and with different core diameters
• can count labels up or down or to a pre set value.
• can check for label presence on the reel and stop if a label is missing.
• possibility to integrate a vision inspection system to check text or pattern match (developed to your requirements – please call for details)
• possibility to integrate a barcode verifier to check for barcode readability.

When working as a rewinder the unit can rewind reel format labels of a maximum 300 mm diameter, wound either face in or face out, with a core diameter ranging from 46 to 110 mm.The average rewinding speed is over 50 mt/min.

When working as a control device, a photocell will not only count the labels, but also to check the presence the labels and to signal their absence with the possibility to stop operating in order to reposition the labels. This operation needs no resetting of the unit as this is done by the control unit that self-learns the label length. An ultrasonic detector is available for processing transparent labels.
