Labeling System for Barcode Clips

Challenges

The width of each barcode clip had to be measured before labeling. The label needed to be positioned with high precision (tolerance ±0.1 mm). Each label carried a unique identification number that had to be verified by a camera system. Non-conforming labels had to be reliably rejected through a validated software-controlled process.

Our Solution

Clips are fed as bulk material via a vibratory bowl system. During labeling, each clip is precisely fixed across three axes. The label is pre-aligned on a vacuum plate in two axes before being applied. Two camera systems verify both the clip dimensions and the uniqueness of the label number. IO/NIO sorting is executed actively, controlled by a validated software module.

Special Features

The combination of high-precision fixture positioning, two-axis label alignment, and dual camera inspection enables reproducible labeling quality within a tenth-millimeter tolerance range. With validated software and a clearly defined NIO strategy, the system is well suited for industrial applications with stringent quality requirements.
