LX-150: Detailed Overview
The LX-150 consists of the Mandrel, the Cutter Assembly, the Chassis, and the HMI.
Mandrel
The Mandrel forms flat label film into the 3D shape of the bottle and serves as a guide as
the LX-150 shoots the label down onto the bottle. Label film slides down first over the
Mandrel Fin, which separates the flat label film before it is formed around the Mandrel Body.
•
A Print Reading Sensor aims a beam through a slot in the Mandrel Fin to look for cut
marks in the film.
•
The Support Wheels contact the Mandrel’s Support Bearings, holding the Mandrel in
place.
•
The Film Drive Wheels contact the Mandrel’s Film Drive Bearings, similarly helping
to hold the Mandrel in place, and also advancing the label film down the length of the
Mandrel Body one label length at a time.
•
As the film passes by the Cutter Notch, information from the Print Reading Sensor
triggers the Cutter Blades to rotate through the Cutter Notch, cutting off an individual
label.
•
The Applicator Wheels, resting against the Applicator Bearings at the bottom of the
Mandrel, then shoot the cut label down onto the passing bottle.
AFM creates custom Mandrels for the specific labeling needs of each customer.
