  • System for applying labels to pallets movable along a conveyor line
    Patent number: 4927486
    Abstract: A sensor senses the presence of a pallet at a label applying station on the conveyor line and a label printer/dispenser produces labels for applying to the pallet. A robot arm moves a label receiver/applier between a first position, adjacent the label printer/dispenser for receiving a label, a second position adjacent the label applying station for applying a label to the pallet, and a third position whereat a label reader, also mounted on the robot arm, reads the label. A processor controls the robot arm, the label reader and the label printer and dispenser and compares the text of the read label to determine if it is correct, and it also determines whether the label is correctly positioned.
