UHF RFID label printers guiding materials in centered position

1.13 Label printers providing an integral UHF RFID module
An antenna is assembled to the print head. RFID tags are written
and read immediately before the labels are printed.
In the event of errors, labels are indicated as invalid.
Basic unit
Optimized antennas add to the different RFID tags:
1) Standard for regular RFID tags
2) On metal for RFID tags applied to metal surfaces
3) High sensitivity for small RFID tags demanding
high signal requirements
The RFID modules already qualify for various RFID tags.
Further will be added as required.

A special calibration feature identifies
for many regular RFID tags optimum
read/write positions and performances.

Characteristic calibration graphs can be

printed in accordance with a label profile.

Tag contents read on-the-fly

Contents such as TID, EPC and user memory
can be read on the fly on a RFID printer
and displayed by the GUI.

Further features are

statistics,

abc Basic Compiler
Integral to the firmware, abc in addition to JScript enables
advanced programming before data are edited for printout.
For example, external printer languages can be replaced without
intervening in a print job in progress. Data may be imported as well
from other systems such as scales, barcode scanners or PLC.

Cutting, perforating
CSQ 401 / CSQ 402 cutters are provided assembled to a printer
5.1
ex factory or accessorial on delivery for all SQUIX 4 units.
Paper labels and self-adhesive labels, cardboard and synthetic materials can
be cut, so can shrink tubes. By pivoting the cutter, materials can be accessed
for removal.
The CSQ 402 provides a more powerful engine and titanium-coating,
enabling highly performant cutting even with thick materials such as
cardboard and shrink tubes, as well as with self-adhesive materials.
The number of cuts performed are kept in memory, allowing wear control.
PSQ 403 perforation cutters are provided for all SQUIX 4M units
Continuous materials such as shrink tubes can be perforated, to simplify
separation by hand at a later stage.

A camera checks a code printed on a label in horizontal or vertical
direction in terms of legibility or content. In the case of a bad coding,
printing stops and the label can be removed by hand. Retracting such labels
after stopping and blackening them is another printer option.
The scanner can be operated in tear-off mode and in peel-off mode.

Transparent laminate protects data blocks on a label
persistently from environmental impacts.
Items are inserted in horizontal orientation. They can be aligned 25 mm
to 100 mm (1“ to 4“) distant to the margin of a label using a stop.
Printing a label and wrapping it around an item takes 1.8 to six seconds,
depending on the number of wrap-arounds.
Operation starts as soon as an item has been inserted. It may be triggered
also by a foot switch, a data interface or an I/O interface.
Pivoting the applicator allows label rolls or ribbons been replaced easily.
