Intelligent MotionTM Technology automatically and precisely controls the entire system helping to remove operational downtime often caused by label jams and snapped labels. A robust and simply designed applicator makes it easy to use, plus an integrated pack detect feature helps ensure accurate label placement. The 9550 with Tamp Applicator is ideal for top-of-pack labeling onto variable height cases, bundles or shrink wrapped products or for applications when the pack is stationary at the point of labeling.
