| | | Weber's exclusive Model 5200rfid label printer-applicator makes it easy to print, encode, verify and apply pressure-sensitive RFID smart labels to cartons and pallet loads in one automatic operation. In addition, the system determines if a tag is unverifiable and rejects it prior to application. Designed and engineered by Weber, this system provides high-quality smart labeling that will meet the RFID supply chain requirements of major retailers and government agencies, plus ensures precise label printing and application. The Model 5200rfid offers a selection of thermal/ thermal-transfer print-encode engines- including units from Zebra Technologies- that produces smart labels imprinted with text, bar codes and graphics at 203 dpi. Depending upon the print engine selected, smart labels can be up to 5" wide and 6" long and can be dispensed at up to 12" per second. As a smart label is printed, the Model 5200rfid's integrated encoder simultaneously transfers digital information to the thin, ultra-high frequency (UHF) transponder that is embedded in the pressure-sensitive label material. That encoded information instantly is verified by the system, which then applies the smart label to the top or side of a carton or pallet load as it moves by on a conveyor manufacturer line. Labels are applied using the non-contact, tamp-blow method, which gentfy blows the label onto the surface from 0.25" and is accurate to within 0.06". Pre-Apply Reject If a tag is not verifiable, the system's unique swing plate automatically is deployed to intercept the smart label prior to application. This method | | does not alter print engine operation, media handling or dispensing, yet collects and counts the rejected labels for subsequent disposition. The print-encode engines-which encode EPC UHF Class 1, 0+ and ISO 18000-06B transponders- are fully upgradeable to meet future EPC Generation 2 protocols. In addition, Weber is offering special retrofi t kits that will enable present users of Model 5200 printer-applicators to upgrade their units to meet the requirements of smart labeling without completely replacing existing systems. The Model 5200rfid is constructed to withstand harsh industrial environments. Vital electronic components are safely housed inside the applicator's corrosion-resistant, stainless steel casement. Labels are formatted using Weber's proprietary Legitronic® Print-Apply software, a package that combines label design, editing and printing with RFID encoding to create great-looking, readable smart labels. The 5200rfid also provides XML-enabled printing to permit direct smart label printing and encoding from leading MRP applications. Pressure-sensitive smart labels embedded with EPC UHF Class 1, 0+ and ISO 18000-06B transponders are available from Weber. These labels also are ideal for high-quality thermal/thermal-transfer imprinting. Weber supplies a variety of compatible thermal-transfer ribbons, as well.
