Abstract
This invention relates to a pressure sensitive label application device. The device is designed to strip a pressure sensitive label off a continuous line of labels temporarily adhered to the surface of a web of supporting or backing material and to adhere each stripped-off label to an article to which the label is to be adhered. The device includes an input unit, a fixed label detector and a control means. The input unit is adapted to input a set value thereinto required for setting a label pitch. The label detector detects the presence of the labels temporarily adhered to the backing material and sends a label detection signal to the control means. Upon receipt of the set value and the label detection signal, the control ascertains the position of the label and controls the label application device to permit the correct application of the label to the article. The device may include a detector for detecting the article. The detector for the article detects the presence of the articles being transferred by a conveyor and sends an article detecting signal to the control means. The control means controls the label application device such that the device can precisely adhere labels to articles by the label detecting signal, the article detecting signal, and the set value. The invention thus provides the exact adhesion of the labels to the articles.
