Description
Tube labeling system AXON 2
Labeling tubes reliably in real time
Tube labeling printer AXON 2 suits for labeling tubes individually as a manual workstation or integrated in sample processing systems. Print resolutions of 300 or 600 dpi, a sharp-edge print image and high contrast enable even tiny 2D codes to be verified. Thermal direct and thermal transfer printing are possible.
Tubes of diameters 10 to 20 mm can be processed, capped or uncapped. Printing and labeling take less than two seconds. After the tubes have been labeled, they can be removed one by one or be ejected to a tray. Self-explanatory symbols enable intuitive operation. The label roll and the ribbon are easy to remove.
AXON 2 may be integrated in a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS). Data transfer from a PC is possible via interfaces such as RS232, USB, Ethernet, or via WLAN.
2-year warranty applies (warranty is valid only if the genuine consumables are used). Manufacturer – cab (Germany).

If it comes to cleaning or in cases of wear, print rollers and transport rollers can be removed easily by the operator with the help of a tool attached.
In stand-alone operation, when no PC is connected, variable data are set with a keyboard or a scanner. Power may be supplied by 110 to 240 VAC voltage or 36 to 60 VDC voltage, 24 VDC on request.

Features
1 Stop
With the help of spacers assembled to the tightening axles, slim ribbons can be set easily.
2 Slim print rollers
In order to achieve accurate imprint on small labels, slim print rollers are needed. These prevent from roller wear, print head contamination and errors during label feed.
3 Peel-off function
Labels are guided over a deflection roller to be applied reliably on the tubes.
4 Transport rollers
They apply the labels on the tubes. Three types are provided for different tubes.
5 Wipe-down rollers
During labeling, they press the tubes to the transport rollers.
6 Pivot arms
They are set according to the length of a tube and the position of the label.
7 Material replacement
Pivoting the applicator allows labels and ribbon to be inserted.
