Product Description
Labeling cell with robot – ideal for small batch sizes and complex shaped products:
The labeling cell is specifically designed to apply labels to pharmaceutical products such as small vials, pens, syringes, and cartridges. These are usually non-stable and irregularly shaped. In small batch sizes these type of products have usually been labeled by a semi-automatic labeling machines, such as the conventional wrap-around labeler 211 HC. The new labeling cell however, significantly automates this process, enhancing efficiency and precision and thus represents a pioneering labeling solution.
Efficient robotic solutions for labeling syringes:
Applying labels to syringes requires the highest level of precision and speed—especially in the pharmaceutical industry, where accuracy and regulatory compliance are critical. HERMA’s robot-assisted labeling cell offers an innovative solution for applying labels to syringes efficiently and reliably. The automated system meets even the most demanding requirements for syringe labeling, such as precise positioning, traceability, and hygienic processing. Whether you want to expand your production or optimize existing processes—our technology helps you apply labels to syringes with precision, reliably meeting all syringe labeling requirements.
The development and functionality of the 211R HC:
The 211R HC is the result of a developmental partnership with Fanuc and Weiss Robotics. With a special emphasis placed on minimizing the footprint, the design incorporates a robot with an ultra-compact base and the world’s smallest servo gripper integrated. HERMA collaborate with all leading robotic suppliers and develop solutions for a wide range of labeling applications. Thanks to its innovative design and collaboration with leading robotics providers, the HERMA 211R HC enables seamless integration into existing production lines. This increase in efficiency and high labeling precision make it an ideal solution for the demanding labeling applications of medicines and pharmaceuticals. With the 211R HC, you can optimize your labelling processes while ensuring the safety and quality of your products.
Step 1: Non-labeled products are fed directly into the trays of the closed labeling cell via a drawer. The safety cover does not need to be opened for this. This innovative approach boosts efficiency, increases safety and ensures a smooth workflow.
Step 2: The robot removes the products individually from the tray and places them precisely in the labeling station, which is equipped with a HERMA 500 labeler.
Step 3: The product is rotated in a motor-driven roller prism and the label is dispensed precisely onto the product at the peel-off edge, with or without label product orientation.
Step 4: After the fully automatic labeling process, the robot places the labeled products under a vision system or sensor to check the presence and variable data of the labels.
Step 5: The robot places confirmed products into a designated carton or outer tray. When it is full, it can be easily replaced using the drawer system without interrupting the labeling process.
Step 6: Unconfirmed products are placed in a separate tray.
