Patent number: 11866218Abstract: A safety lifting device for positioning a labelling unit in a vertical direction (Z) in relation to a flow of objects where the labelling unit is arranged for printing labels and/or applying labels to the objects. The lifting device includes a linear actuator, a balancing unit, a drive unit connected to the linear actuator, and a movable section. The labelling unit is connected to the movable section. The linear actuator is connected to the movable section and arranged to control the position of the labelling unit. The balancing unit is arranged to counterbalance the gravitational force exerted on the linear actuator. The movable section of the lifting device includes an upper stand unit, and the lifting device further includes a lower stand unit. The upper stand unit is movably arranged in relation to the lower stand unit in the vertical direction.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: EVOLABEL ABInventors: Jonas Södergård, Gerard Dijkstra

Patent number: 10899489Abstract: A method and an arrangement to apply labels on marking objects which are transported on a track. By only two swinging arms, the output printed label is transported away from the label printer, in a first direction of travel, so that the adhesive side of the label is facing the first direction of travel of the label applicator plate, and in an opposite second direction of travel, so that the printed side of the printed label is faces the second direction of travel of the label applicator plate. Continued motion actuation of the label applicator plate by turning the swinging arm carrying the applicator plate and, where appropriate, rotation of the applicator plate provides transportation of the label to and delivery of the label at and application of the label on the marking object with the adhesive side of the label facing the marking object.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: EVOLABEL ABInventors: Gerard Dijkstra, Jonas Södergård

Publication number: 20110000620Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1) of a machine (2) for outputting self-adhesive labels (3) from a reel (4), and that comprises a write head (5), as well as drive means for a label web (7), with the write head (5) movably mounted for widening a formed gap (8) through the machine (2) for pulling the label web (7) between the write head (5) and a drive platen (9) to a reeling reel. A sensor (11) formed of a transmitter (12) and a receiver (13) is arranged to sense inter-spaces at labels carried consecutively on the label web (7) by sensing the thickness differences of the label web (7) and of the labels (3) thereof carried on a bottom paper web. According to the invention, the sensor (11) is partible (12, 13).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 17, 2009Publication date: January 6, 2011Applicant: AUTOLABEL ABInventors: Gerard Dijkstra, Jonas Södergård

Publication number: 20060249240Abstract: A system, method and computer program for removing faulty RFID tagged labels from a label applicator system wherein a RFID testing device detects faulty RFID tag whereby a tension on a label backing paper is reduced so as to increase a radius at a position of transferal of the labels from the label backing paper to a label applicator head. The increase in radius has the effect that the label is not transferred to the label applicator head but instead remains on the backing paper and thus will not be applied to a object to be labeled.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 5, 2006Publication date: November 9, 2006Inventor: Gerard Dijkstra
