Label Centralisation Technology

What is LCT? - LCT is a revolutionary new feature we have developed to meet the demand for a highly accurate and reliable labelling system that compensates for the variations in label placement when labelling non-round glass and plastic product containers.

How Does it Work? - LCT is a software development for our Siemens S7 series based PLC control system. LCT actively measures and then calculates (in nano seconds) the centre point of each container that passes the product sensor and then feeds each label at the appropriate moment to ensure each product is labelled absolutely centrally.

What Level of Accuracy is Possible? - The encoder/motor combination we currently use has 0.2mm resolution which provides an overall +/-0.4mm margin on label placement. It is possible to utilise a higher resolution encoder/motor combination which would give even greater levels of sub-millimetre placement accuracy.

We will be launching the LCT on our new Premier P250 model at this year’s Interpack exhibition in Dusseldorf, May 12th - 18th. If in the meantime you would like any further information on this exciting new development or any of our other range of labelling solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
