Mechanical Operation Overview

The 4VAL Labeling System utilizes a high-resolution sensing mechanism to detect each container at the labeling station. Upon detection, a precisely timed activation dispenses the label at a linear speed that exactly matches container velocity. This ensures smooth, wrinkle-free, and accurately positioned labeling even during high-speed runs. The infeed tray allows manual loading with ergonomic design, while the outfeed system automatically reloads finished containers into trays for easy collection and transfer.
