Abstract
An automated labeling apparatus is provided for positioning and applying identifying labels on predetermined positions along a layup of sheet material prior to cutting. The apparatus includes multiple labeling carriage assemblies mounted on a support beam for independent movement thereon. At least one label printer-load station is attached to the apparatus so as to be accessible to the labeling carriage assemblies for providing preprinted identifying labels. A central processing computer controls movement of the support beam and the labeling carriage assemblies as well as the functioning of the label printer-load station so as to coordinate operation of the labeling carriage assemblies for efficient operation.
