Print and apply systems HERMES Q

HERMES Q: A printing and labelling system for automatic printing and labelling on production lines.

HERMES Q is synonymous with automatic printing and labelling on production lines. This printing and labelling system combines a high-performance label printer with an applicator that precisely applies labels to products or packaging. Whether for identification plates, logistics labels or product markings, the system adapts to a range of requirements.

The robust cast aluminium housing contains all the components and ensures a long service life in industrial environments. The system is developed and manufactured in Germany. Installation is flexible: the unit can be rotated vertically through 360° or mounted horizontally, and you can choose whether the dispensing direction is to the left or to the right.

Operation is intuitive. A touchscreen with intuitive icons guides the user through the setup process. Transfer ribbons can be changed quickly using a three-piece clamping shaft. Print heads of the same width are interchangeable and are automatically detected and calibrated. A sensor positions the print precisely on the label, and an adjustable slip correction feature reduces print misalignment.

The automatic ribbon-saving system helps to reduce transfer ribbon consumption. Additional modules are available on request, for example for UHF RFID tags or for connecting external sensors. The digital I/O interface connects the system to programmable logic controllers; the inputs and outputs are galvanically isolated. The system can be integrated into networks via Ethernet, USB and RS232C. Integration into existing IT environments is carried out via OPC UA, SAP and the Database Connector.
Printing is carried out using the cablabel S3 label software or via drivers for Windows, macOS and Linux. Two programming languages are available: JScript and abc.
