The AP182RT version of our pallet labeler has a rotating tamp, which enables it to apply labels in various formats upright, diagonally and across onto pallets ready for dispatch. For example, portrait-format transport labels can be processed or landscape-format labels with content information as well as warning notices that are applied at an angle.

The Legi-Air AP182RT pallet labeler creates and processes GS1-compliant labels in DIN A5 or DIN A6 format; other label sizes are optionally available. The use of label rolls with a diameter of 350 millimetres ensures an efficient and long production time. The AP182RT achieves high speeds of 120 pallets per hour for two-sided labeling and 90 pallets per hour for three-sided labeling.

The labels are printed by an integrated print module. A wide selection of high-quality print modules from renowned manufacturers is available for configuration, achieving print resolutions of up to 600 dpi. As it does not require a safety fence thanks to its intrinsically safe design, the system saves costs and effort in logistics.

The system is equipped with a flexibly pivoting applicator head that can apply DIN A5 or A6 pallet labels either in portrait or landscape format. The individually printed labels are applied precisely either by an air blast from a short distance or by direct contact with a spring-mounted dispensing plate. Even in gaps as narrow as 250 mm, front-side labeling is possible. In addition, the system labels up to three pallet sides in GS1-compliant fashion and – unlike the AP182 – can also place labels diagonally, for example for hazardous goods marking.

The first sensor serves as an optically variable stroke sensor. It detects the distance to the pallet and, depending on the setting, triggers the blow-off of the label from the tamp and the retraction of the tamp to the home position from a distance of around 15 millimetres. The second built-in optical sensor is directed inwards, towards the spring bearing of the tamp.

The rectangular enclosure of the pallet labeler consists of a profile frame construction which, with the exception of the transparent side door, is enclosed by stainless steel sheets. The winding and unwind unit and print module can be moved and are easily accessible for quick and easy material changes.

The freely programmable travel paths reliably compensate even for large layer tolerances – for example in cases of underloading or overloading. The system also demonstrates its full strength in mixed operation with industrial and Euro pallets. This flexibility ensures that a wide variety of palletizing requirements can be met safely and precisely. As a result, the process remains stable, efficient, and adaptable, even when conditions vary.
