The YIXING three-head flat surface labeling machine is intended for products whose top face needs several labels or label positions.

Overview

The three-head flat surface labeling machine places three top-labeling heads above the conveyor; the brochure photo shows several blue label reels and a touchscreen. Products pass beneath the three heads, which suits items whose top face needs several labels, or labels in several positions.

Two standard models explain the labeling method. The automatic flat top-surface labeler conveys products one by one to the labeling position for top labeling of books, folders, boxes and cartons, and comes in basic and standard versions. The automatic high-precision labeler applies labels by suction (vacuum and air-blow working together) on the top, bottom or both faces; its brochure photo shows a dual-head configuration, and its speed depends partly on the number of heads. The three-head custom build carries three heads over the belt.

As a custom machine it has no published specs; label positions, label sizes and cycle time are designed around the actual product. For reference only, the standard flat top-surface labeler runs at 40–120 pcs/min with ±1 mm accuracy, and the high-precision labeler at 25–35 pcs/min with ±0.5 mm. When requesting a quote, send product samples with the three label positions marked, each label's size and roll specs, the target output and the line length available.

Key advantages

Three top-labeling heads

Three heads over the conveyor handle several labels on the top face in a single pass.

Several label reels

The heads can hold three different labels, or one label type placed at different points, as the project requires.

Several positions on one line

Instead of running products through a single-head machine more than once or touching up by hand, the three heads cover several positions on one line.

Touchscreen

The photo shows a single touchscreen as the operator interface.

Built to product and label positions

Head spacing, application method and conveyor width are designed around the product and label positions; no standard specs are published.

Selection tips

One label on the top face and continuous output: start with the standard automatic flat top-surface labeler (40–120 pcs/min, ±1 mm).
Boxes, lids or electronic parts that need suction application, or labels on both faces: look at the automatic high-precision labeler (±0.5 mm).
YIXING's inline labeling head guidance says roll-on application suits flat products and suction suits products with recesses; use it as a reference for the custom build too.
Three labels or three positions on the top face: choose the three-head custom build and confirm label spacing and application order early.

FAQ

When does a three-head flat labeler make sense?

When one product's top face needs several labels, or labels at several points, the three heads can apply them in sequence on one conveyor instead of repeated passes. How the heads share the work is set in the project design.

How fast and accurate is the three-head flat surface labeling machine?

The brochure publishes no figures for the three-head version. For reference, the standard automatic flat top-surface labeler runs at 40–120 pcs/min and ±1 mm, and the automatic high-precision labeler at 25–35 pcs/min (speed also depends on the number of heads) and ±0.5 mm. The custom machine's figures are confirmed in its design.

Can the three heads apply different labels?

Each head has its own label reel, so the heads can carry different labels or the same label for different positions, depending on the product and label plan.

What products suit the three-head flat labeler?

Based on the related standard models: books, folders, boxes, cartons, gift boxes, food pouches, plastic parts, packaging boxes, plastic lids and electronic products. Send samples for evaluation.

Can it print dates or batch numbers while labeling?

The standard flat top-surface labeler accepts an optional coder or inkjet printer for dates, batch numbers and barcodes on the label, or an inkjet printer on the conveyor that prints directly on the product before or after labeling. Whether the three-head machine gets one is decided per project.

What should I prepare for a custom three-head quote?

Product samples with the three label positions marked, label samples or dimensions for each label, label roll specs, target output, the line length available, and whether the machine must link to other equipment.
