Label Sensors

Lion Precision label sensors use capacitive sensing technology to detect the presence and absence of individual labels on release liner in labeling machine and packaging applications. The capacitive sensing approach detects label edges reliably on transparent, opaque, foil, and paper labels regardless of label color or print. Label sensors are configured for web speed tracking, label pitch measurement, and dispensing registration, making them a critical component in high-speed label applicators, pressure-sensitive labeling machines, and packaging line label-apply stations.

Applications

  • Label presence detection on roll-feed labeling and label dispensing machines.
  • Label gap and pitch measurement for dispensing registration on high-speed applicators.
  • Clear-on-clear label detection on transparent liner with transparent label material.
  • Foil label detection where reflective labels cause issues for optical label sensors.
  • Label inventory and stock monitoring on automated labeling system feeders.

Key Features

  • Capacitive detection of paper, plastic, polyester, foil, and clear-on-clear labels.
  • Detection independent of label color, print density, or surface finish.
  • Fast response time for high-speed labeling machines up to 2000 labels per minute.
  • Compact sensing head for integration into tight packaging machine label paths.
  • Adjustable sensitivity for fine-tuning to specific label and liner combinations.
