Vision-guided labeling finds a reference on the part, then places a label or auxiliary material to that reference. Conventional labeling uses mechanical guides, wrap belts, or a fixed wipe-down. Both are valid. They solve different problems.
Use a conventional machine when:
- The pack is a stable round bottle, carton, or flat surface.
- Placement is to an edge or wrap, not to a printed or machined feature.
- Changeover is infrequent and the rate is the main constraint.
Use vision guidance when:
- The material must sit on a pad, window, connector, or printed mark.
- Parts arrive mixed, nested loosely, or without a hard mechanical stop.
- You are placing foam, film, conductive tape, or a second material, not only a paper label.
Anjelio publishes fourteen vision configurations, from a single-head feeder (VL-SS) to robot and four-head cells. Catalogue rates are reference ranges. They are not a guarantee for an untested part. Send the workpiece, the material, and the placement drawing; engineering confirms fit from a sample.
