Labeling technology

Creating labels

For precision and maximum productivity

The large number of applications and label types requires specific manufacturing methods. In order to optimally equip the various process steps and machine types, di-soric provides a range of sensors for printing, coating and laminating as well as for punching labels.

Through simple adjustment, our sensors make it easy to achieve fast, process-reliable and flexible production of varying products and batch sizes.

Dispensing a wide variety of labels

with speed, precision and flexibility

The number of labels processed on the market is steadily increasing. The spectrum ranges from transparent labels for the non-label look to printed and partially metallic labels and even thick booklets with integrated instruction leaflet.

di-soric label sensors are equipped with auto-teach. The ideal switching point can be determined with the press of a button while the label tape is moving through the label sensor. This way, the auto-teach feature allows for extremely fast label changes while the process is running. In addition to button operation, remote teach variants for optical, capacitive and ultrasonic label sensors are also available.

Labeling technology / Dispensing labels

Supporting sensors

for dispensing labels fast and with precision

From simple object detection to high-precision position detection, a large number of sensors with a wide array of properties are used when labels are produced and dispensed.

Inductive sensors

are always used when metallic objects are to be detected reliably.

Optical sensors

stand out for their high switching frequency, short activation time and high resolution—simply put, they are fast and efficient.

Checking labeling

Error-free, fast quality control and backtracking of labeling

In order to ensure secure, complete backtracking, many products are marked with corresponding codes and readable texts.

The ID and vision products that we offer ensure that 1D and 2D codes as well as plain text can be read and verified reliably.

Sensors and signal lighting

from di-soric with IO-Link

IO-Link is a worldwide communication standard according to IEC 61131-9. Sensors and actuators with an immense range of functions and capabilities become intelligent and active process devices in the field with IO-Link. Production processes thereby become more flexible, more transparent, more efficient and more cost-efficient. IO-Link transforms sensors into digital products and enables Industry 4.0 system designs.

Ready for digitization

di-soric IO-Link
Digitize your systems with IO-Link. IO-Link supports the identification, configuration and diagnosis of a lot of sensors and signal lights, and this makes the remote maintenance of systems possible right into the device. With parameter memory in the IO-Link Master, sensors can easily be exchanged and commissioned with identical settings.

Configuration instead of specific hardware

di-soric IO-Link – Konfiguration
Sensors and signal lights can be conveniently adjusted via the control without manual operation using IO-Link. Using a configuration coordinated with the application case, the productivity of sensors and signall lights in machines and systems can be optimized without additional hardware expense.

Preventive maintenance through diagnosis

di-soric IO-Link – Diagnose di-soric IO-Link – Wartung
Sensors detect e.g. functional reserve or distance from the object in mm via IO-Link. If the objects or ambient conditions change, an assessment of the sensor function is possible. Diagnosis enables optimized commissioning, coordinated service cycles and the use of remote maintenance.
