Term
Explanation
HPU
The abbreviation of Height Processing Unit: A device that is
driven by a motor or pneumatically to move a labeler verti-
cally. This feature enables different labeling positions in
vertical direction.
Infeed
The products are fed manually or by a conveying system
provided by the customer at infeed passage of the labeling
station.
Label applicator
See “labeler”.
Label feed
Feeding of a label by the labeler. The fed label is printed on
within the print engine and peeled off at the peeler bar.
Label gap
Distance between two labels at the label web. The gap is
detected by a (label) sensor of the applicator.
Label liner
Siliconized liner material where single labels stick onto.
Label Out
An optical sensor (reflective light sensor) for detecting the
end of the labels
Label sensor
An optical sensor that determines the gap between the la-
bels
Label size
Dictates the label format: Width x length (in the direction of
feed of the label liner measured in millimeters [mm]).
Labeling system
Dispensing system for automatically applying labels
Labeling operation
This is the same as automatic mode. The labeling system is
ready to print and dispense labels
Labeling system
The labeling system is used to label products automatically
and consists of several components (assembly groups),
e.g. conveyor belt, labeling system.
LED
Light-emitting diode
Low label prewarning:
Low Label warning
An optical sensor (reflective light sensor) for detection of an
(adjustable) minimum label roll diameter to provide a warn-
ing
Opacity
The transparency of a material can be measured by a light
barrier and is named opacity. The measuring sets the quan-
tity of the radiated light in proportion to the incoming light.
The lower the proportion, the lower is the opacity.
PLC
Programmable logic controller.
Poti/potentiometer
Changeable resistor (controller) for the analog control of
labeling system settings (such as the timing of the tamp
movement in relation to the rotary position of the potenti-
ometer)
Pressure Gauge
See service unit, displays the air pressure.
Pressure rollers
Pushes the label onto the product adhesively.
Product Detector
A sensor for detecting the product. Most frequently, optical
sensors are used (photocells, light barriers, reflective sen-
sors).
