Kaufman Engineered Systems' automatic end-of-line labeling system utilizes a FANUC CR-7iA/L Collaborative robot, which can easily be added to existing palletizing and stretch wrapping lines. Using FANUC iR vision, the label is scanned to verify placement and correct position. The label presence verification scan assures that the barcode is present and can be read for data transfer to WMS or other unit operations if needed.

This compact system has the reach capability of applying labels to two adjacent sides. This allows labels to be placed on a single high-load and a double-stacked load, eliminating the need for multiple labelers with one solution. The Fox IV labeler can dispense pre-printed labels or printed labels with the Zebra print engine for your specific needs. Kaufman custom end-of-arm tooling with distance verification provides safety to the operator and is used to determine how far the tool is from the load. When in close proximity to the load, a dual-check-safety (DCS) zone is enabled as the label is applied. This system is ideal for layouts where space is limited. It allows operators to work nearby, eliminating the need for safety fences.

Kaufman Engineered Systems' automatic labeling system can be customized with controls that meet the individual needs of each application. Additional features available include an operator screen for label field entry, system diagnostic feedback and fault recovery, and ancillary equipment control. This system features an Allen Bradley PLC and programming on the Rockwell RSLogix platform.
