ALcount

ALcount is a 'reel to reel' label winding system, designed for counting and /or inspecting labels in an offline standalone process.


Reel to Reel Label Inspection and/or Counting System

ALcount is a reel to reel unwind/rewind system for roll format labels with the facility to count a set quantity of labels, and/or check for missing labels on the reel.

It is commonly also used for stock allocation as well as label stock-takes, or to change the leading edge of a label.

Specific functions of the machine include:

  • Rewind labels clockwise or anti-clockwise and with different core diameters
  • Can count labels up or down or to a pre set value
  • Can check for label presence on the reel and stop if a label is missing
  • Can be integrated with a smart vision sensor or vision camera to check text or pattern match
  • Can be integrated with a barcode verifier to check for barcode readability
  • Can be used as a simple label rewinder - to change the leading hand of the label (e.g. for customer applying wraparound labels)

ALcount in Detail

When working as a rewinder: the unit can rewind reel format labels of a maximum 300 mm diameter, wound either face in or face out, with a core diameter ranging from 40 to 110 mm. The maximum rewind rotation speed is over 50 mt/min.

When working as a control device: a photocell will not only count the labels but also check their presence on the reel, with an audible signal and automatic stop function where a missing label is detected. An optional ultrasonic detector is available for processing transparent labels.

A special ultra heavy-duty version of ALcount is also available, with 400mm max diameter reels (with fixed 76mm expanding core mandrel), for large (and heavy) label rolls up to 25kg in weight.

The maximum leading-edge width of labels is also increased with this machine to 230mm.

A further option for ALcheck is the possibility of an extended platform and secondary drive system - ideal for label inspection via barcode or camera control checking device.

Simple good/bad processes (e.g. a barcode read confirmation) can be controlled directly via the ALcount controller. More advanced label checking, checking for a specific barcode or a number of variable fields via smart camera, require a 3rd party control device such as ALcheck (see: Checking Sytems), or your chosen control 3rd party checking solution.
