In the manufacture of RFID electronic labels and apparel traceability hang tags, large cards often need labels applied simultaneously in multiple areas. Conventional single-head machines or manual operation are not only inefficient but also prone to labeling misalignment and missed labels. Balancing efficiency and accuracy in mass production of large cards has become a challenge for many manufacturers.
Process pain points of conventional multi-area labeling
In conventional inline labeling, multi-area labeling of large cards usually relies on passing material through a single machine several times or linking several machines in series. This approach requires a large footprint, and repeated passes accumulate positioning errors, easily causing wrinkles or misalignment. Manual labeling brings high labor costs, poor consistency, and a ceiling on throughput. Introducing multi-head parallel operation to apply multiple labels in a single pass has therefore become an inevitable industry upgrade.
WZ-125S five-head parallel labeling technology
To address these pain points, Wanzhi Automation introduced an automatic five-head card labeling machine (model: WZ-125S). As a dedicated high-speed machine for synchronous five-head labeling of RFID inlay labels, it comes standard with five labeling heads and supports simultaneous application of multiple labels in multiple areas. Equipped with high-precision dual-side-supported labeling heads, it conveys material quickly and smoothly, with labeling positioning accuracy of up to ±0.5mm, meeting the strict alignment standards for RFID electronic labels.
As an efficient pressure-sensitive labeling machine, the WZ-125S reaches a maximum label dispensing speed of 60M/min and a stable throughput of up to 1200~1800 cards/min. The machine uses integrated automatic sheet separation and loading plus a rear automatic stacking collection mechanism, so a full stack of cards is loaded at once for fully unattended operation. Its labeling heads use a modular design with 2~6 heads freely added or removed, greatly improving equipment reusability and line flexibility.
Industry applications and selection considerations
In industries such as RFID electronic label manufacturing, apparel and textile traceability, and smart card chip processing, selection should focus on machine stability and scalability. Wanzhi took vibration at high speed fully into account during development: the WZ-125S uses an elongated heavy-duty one-piece stainless steel frame with a dead weight of 1000Kg, ensuring jitter-free conveying at high speed. The machine also offers wide compatibility, handling large-format card stock from 300~600mm long and 300~600mm wide; a single machine can replace dozens of workers, significantly reducing floor space and labor costs.
FAQ
Can the number of labeling heads be changed later to match orders?
Yes. The WZ-125S labeling heads use a modular design that supports any combination of 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 heads, adapting flexibly to changes in card label layout processes.
How is jitter and drift prevented on large cards during high-speed labeling?
The machine uses an elongated heavy-duty one-piece stainless steel frame with a dead weight of up to 1000Kg, together with high-precision dual-side-supported labeling heads, physically eliminating vibration during high-speed conveying and safeguarding ±0.5mm labeling accuracy.
What affects the machine’s actual throughput?
Stable throughput is typically between 1200~1800 cards/min; actual throughput varies somewhat with label spacing, card size, and specific process requirements.
