Advanced Micro Robotics

This Robotic Label Applicator System will automatically pick up a bottle, can, test tube, jar, vial and place it in the semi-automatic bottle label applicator, that will actuate the label applicator, then pick it up from the label applicator and place it in a return bin.

This is a great low cost way to label a large volume of bottles without buying large, complex and expensive dedicated factory floor labeling equipment. You do not have to be a developer, technician or engineer to use this. It also has a small foot print and is very flexible. When your bottle size/shape changes you can accommodate this change quickly and easily.

With the addition of your internet connected printer you can automatically create on demand labels and automatically apply these onto your packages. Each label could be different and unique.

Press Release

Simple Operation - No Computer or Software Required

This system runs without a PC (Computer). Just locate your bottles and labeler at the predefined robot stage locations, one for pick up, another for the labeler and another for the bottle return. Place your labels in the labeler and  hook up the  hose from your air compressor. Then power the system up and press the trigger switch and it  automatically picks up the bottle, places it in the labeler, activates the labeler, retrieves the labeled bottle and places it in the return bin. It can be set up to do it once or continuously.

Quick set-up and easy operation

The whole system fits on most desks.

Industrial Strength Machined Aluminum

Custom Options Available

This system can also be activated with an optional external trigger switch, limit switch, virtually any push button or at power up.  However, if you want to perform even more complicated applications then read on.

Optional Automation

Optionally, you can also set it to run in automatic modes or stay in manual mode. In automatic mode you can set it to run once each time it is triggered by a triggering event such as a mouse click, external switch/push button, another device,  program and/or at power up. It can also be programmed to run continuously or a set number of times or until an event occurs, such as end of sequence, out of objects to move, etc. You can also hook it up to a vision system or machine inspection system to inspect the bottle and label.

Interfacing to Your Computer for More Complex Applications

If you require more complex labeling applications than described above, you can still hook it up to your computer.  The system can also be controlled via a Windows XP/Vista compatible computer using any of the below mentioned software applications and a USB port, RS485 port or an RS232 serial port by sending simple commands to the robotic controller.

Easy To Use - No Programming Required

This system is so easy to use you do not have to be a software developer or engineer to use it. All you do is set it on your desk, work bench or factory floor and plug in a power supply, hook it up to your serial port or USB port and start the optional small application we provide and start moving the unit with your computer mouse. You can then teach it to make all kinds of discrete moves to pick up bottles from different locations in a matter of a few minutes. Later as you become experienced with its basic operation you can teach it more complex operations like choosing bottles of different sizes and shapes to be labeled with a variety of different labels and return to different bins/locations. You can even hook it up to your computer to custom print each and every label before placing it on your bottle.

Compatible Label Applicators

This unit will work with most semi-automatic label applicator machines such as Bottle-Matic and Primera, sold separately. When used in conjunction with the Primera AP360/326 Label Applicator the Robotics Label Applicator this system can place labels on containers ranging from 0.6 inches to 6.7 inches (15mm to 170mm) in diameter and 1inch to 9.4 inches (25.4mm to 238mm) long. Compatible with roll or fan-fed labels printed by any methods such as flexographic, offset and thermal transfer, all can be applied with this system.

Custom Application Development

If you want to interface this unit to something more complex give us a call.  This unit includes plenty of I/O to sense and control relays, vales, small actuators, etc. We can interface this unit to your machines, special labelers and/or special handlers, in your system, to perform just about any labeling application you can think of.

Send us a few of your bottles or cans and we can run a demo of our system labeling your product and send you a short video of it.
