APLEX4 & APLEX6
Plug & Play Label Application
The TOSHIBA APLEX4 & APLEX6 are plug-and-play label print-and-apply systems designed to upgrade existing B-EX4 and B-EX6 industrial printers into full automatic labelling stations. Offering swift label application (up to 30 labels per minute), seamless integration, and versatile application methods—such as tamp, tamp-blow, and dynamic height adjustment—these systems transform manual workflows into efficient, automated ones with minimal downtime.
Fast, Reliable Automation: Upgrade manual labeling with consistent high-speed application.
Versatile Label Handling: Accommodates a wide range of label sizes and carton heights for flexible operations.
Safety and Efficiency Built-In: Includes integrated sensors and safety features to protect operators and streamline processes.
Effortless Integration: “Just add air” design integrates with existing printers and production lines without disruption.
Optional Enhancements Available: Modular accessories enable tailored performance and support evolving workflows.
High Label Application Speed: Applies up to 30 labels per minute for rapid throughput in production lines.
Multiple Application Methods: Offers both direct tamp and tamp-blow modes, suitable for static products or moving cartons.
Wide Label Size Compatibility: Supports labels from 25 x 25 mm up to 116 x 200 mm (APLEX4) and up to 148 x 200 mm (APLEX6) to suit varied packaging sizes.
Piston with Auto Height Detection: Adjustable stroke up to 400 mm (usable 250 mm), with automatic carton height sensing for seamless operation across variable heights.
Plug-and-Play Setup: Simple installation with USB and Ethernet interfaces, no modifications required to your current line layout—ready to use in just hours.
Built-In Safety Measures: Equipped with safety features such as perimeter sensors, hand-presence detection, and pressure-limited pneumatics for secure operation.
Compact and Rugged Design: Robust enclosure measuring ~705 × 364 × 585 mm for APLEX4 and 705 × 414 × 675 mm for APLEX6, with flexible mounting options for compact workflows.
Optional Accessories: Add-ons include support columns, status lights, proximity/vacuum sensors, and alternate label pad sizes—for custom setup and enhanced safety.
