Abstract
The present invention relates to a pressure sensitive adhesive label affixing device. This device is designed to release adhesive labels from a continuous line of labels prepared by temporarily sticking them to the surface of a web of supporting or backing material one after another, and to affix each thereof to an article to be labelled. The device includes an input unit, a label detector, an article detector and a control means. The input unit is used in inputting set values required for setting a label pitch. The label detector detects the presence of each label temporarily stuck to the backing material and sends a label detection signal to the control means. The article detector detects each article and sends an article detection signal to the control means. On the basis of the set value, label detection signal and article detection signal received, the control means controls the label affixing device so that the label is affixed precisely in place on the article. According to the present invention, it is also possible to do numerical processing for controlling the labelling position for sizable savings of the time required for operation of the label affixing device.
