bielomatik introduces smart label converting machine

bielomatik has introduced an entry-level smart label converting machine, the T-100/165 Explorer, to complement the company’s RFID product line.

The company said in a statement: ‘The Explorer is specifically intended to prevent disruption of current conventional label manufacturing procedures while providing a simplified means to create smart labels. The Explorer allows a converter to continue utilizing features on existing presses such as adhesive applicators and die-cutters. This avoids the need to purchase this equipment for a smart label converting machine.’

Built on the same modular platform as bielomatik’s high-end machines, the Explorer accepts rolls of blank or pre-printed labels and rolls of pressure sensitive singulated transponders in order to produce smart labels. With high precision, a label is delaminated from its liner, a pressure sensitive transponder is placed to register on the label liner, and the label is then re-laminated on top of the transponder/liner combination.
