With the continuous improvement of modern technology, there are many labeling machine products on the market. But how to choose a labeling machine suitable for your own company? I believe that many laymen who do not understand the basics of labeling machines are indeed a difficult problem.
As the saying goes, too many things make the eyes confused. Those who do not understand the basics of labeling machines will not be able to correctly choose a labeling machine suitable for their own company. The following is to guide you on how to choose a labeling machine suitable for your own company.
1. Industry
1. Food industry
Safety and hygiene in the food industry are the top priority. Therefore, the equipment materials must be 304 stainless steel, free of secondary pollution and harmful, and meet GMP standards; in addition, the identification related to food production, such as production date and batch number and other important information, can be purchased at the same time as the labeling equipment. It is best to choose an optional barcode device that can be directly installed on the labeling machine to achieve labeling-coding [inkjet coding] integration.
2. Electronics industry
Regarding the electronics industry, many processes, many people, and high precision requirements for technology and labeling are common characteristics. At present, the demand for labeling in the electronics industry is widespread, so the primary considerations for choosing a labeling machine in this industry are efficiency, accuracy, and personnel adaptability.
2. Customers who use labeling machines for the first time
1. Since you are relatively unfamiliar with the performance and application of labeling machines, send the samples and sample labels that need to be labeled to the labeling machine manufacturer for evaluation and testing as much as possible to reduce the risk of purchasing the machine; customers who have the conditions should also go to the equipment manufacturer in person to watch and learn about the operation of the equipment.
3. Seven points to choose the labeling machine in a targeted manner
1. Machine supporting functions
◆ Labeling machine supporting functions, labeling accuracy, high efficiency, good stability
◆ Self-adaptation function, self-matching function (reduce the difficulty of equipment adjustment)
◆ Alarm function, electrical fault abnormality alarm, whole error alarm, full alarm
◆ Safety protection function, speed upper and lower limit protection, load protection
◆ Supporting function expansion, code printer, inkjet printer, reserved PLC interface
2. Labeling machine electrical configuration
PLC, sensor, inverter, encoder, motor should be checked one by one. At present, the core electrical imported brands are more durable and stable than domestic ones. The electrical stability directly determines the stability of the machine.
3. Mechanical structure of labeling machine
Whether the mechanism is reasonable, whether the adjustment is convenient, whether the operation is simple and easy to remember, safety, comfort and other comprehensive considerations.
4. Scope of application of labeling machine
For customers who do not have high production requirements but have many types of labeling products, the compatibility of the machine is the primary consideration. If one machine can complete the labeling of all products, don't buy two;
For manufacturers with high production requirements, on the contrary, they should consider the singleness of products and reduce the diversity of products to select high-speed and efficient labeling machines.
5. Materials used for labeling machines
Main materials of the electrical box, overall materials of the machine, whether it is durable, environmentally friendly, lightweight, pollution-free, safe, etc.
6. Production system
Production efficiency, production standardization, and a complete company production management system are the guarantees of the quality of the labeling machine.
7. After-sales system
After-sales service, sales and service commitment, whether the sales and service methods are diversified, whether there are sales and service outlets, and regulations on the collection of sales and service fees.
The above is a brief explanation of the basic knowledge points about the purchase of labeling machines by Shouxiang Machinery. I hope it can help you choose a labeling machine suitable for your own company when choosing a labeling machine in the future.
