Semi-Automated AI Pen Labeller – Fixed Format Pen Labeller with Thermal Transfer Printer

Pens are manually loaded into the machine, labelling up to 30 pens/min. The labeller prints three lines of batch data (LOT, MFG, EXP), entered manually via the HMI or automatically downloaded from an MES/ SCADA system. Vision inspection cameras verify label position, presence, and variable batch data. Pens with non-conforming labels are rejected into a bin, with reject verification, machine stoppage after three consecutive rejects, or bin full alerts. Verified pens are either manually removed or transferred to a buffer area holding up to 30 pens. Built to pharmaceutical specifications, the system is constructed from stainless steel 304, adhering to GMP design principles, making it suitable for cleanroom environments. Safety features include fail-safe sensors, a safety control system, and polycarbonate doors with stainless steel tubular handles for safe and hygienic operation. With its high-speed, synchronized performance, Tekpak’s Rotary Leaflet Feeder optimizes leaflet dispensing for continuous cartoners, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and compliance with pharmaceutical production standards.
