Tharo Systems' PA1200fa Front Apply Label Printer/Applicator can print and apply labels to the leading side of a product moving down a conveyor. The PA1200fa was designed, engineered and built by Tharo Systems and is currently available using the Tharo H-Series direct thermal or thermal transfer printers with print resolutions of 203 or 300 dpi.
After a label is printed, it is stripped from the liner and held by suction on the applicator tamp pad. The tamp pad is mounted on a heavy-duty swing arm that extends over a conveyor and tamps the label to the product. Labels can be as small as 3 inches x 1 inch and up to 4.5 inches x 8 inches.
