Legi-Air 4050 E is a robust and proven print & apply system that meets all the requirements of a modern labeling system far beyond what is demanded today. Thanks to its consistent modular design, the system can be individually adapted to the particular application:


Printing modules from all leading manufacturers can be used in the Legi-Air 4050 E. The wide range of labeling applicators available and very stable. They allow any labeling position and apply very precisely even in high-speed applications. The latest version of the Legi-Air 4050 E has proven technology as well as some new highly interesting technical features.

BENEFITS

Reduced compressed air consumption

The modulated vacuum reduces air consumption by up to 80 %: To do this, the integrated sensors measure permanently the pressuse. The valve technology makes adjustments, if needed. 

Minimum wear

Due to the motorized operation of not only the winder but also the unwinder, the print module wears out less. At the same time, this makes the prints extremely precise.

No maintenance parts

The print & apply system is designed completely without maintenance parts. Components are only replaced as required. Only the print modules need to be maintained according to the relevant manufacturer's specifications.

Modular design

The Legi-Air 4050E has a consistently modular design and can thus be individually adapted to the requirements of the respective application. The labels can be printed with print modules from all leading manufacturers. 

Machine safety according to EN415-10

Legi-Air 4050 E meets all EN415-10 requirements as standard and is safe for the operator. For applications requiring higher dynamics, the system can be upgraded with an emergency stop system.

Unique support concept

The revolutionary service concept enables Bluhm Systeme service technicians to see the ACTUAL status of the machine offline from a distance: At the push of a button, the machine generates three QR codes in which all machine-relevant information is encoded. The operator photographs these and sends them to the Bluhm service team.

Industry 4.0. capability

Optionally, Legi-Air 4050 E is available with an additional N-Controller. Furthermore, it is OPC UA-capable (Open Platform Communications United Architecture). With this state-of-the-art Industry 4.0 interface, advanced connectivity with other devices is possible, as well as the exchange of information that goes beyond simple signals.

Convenient handling

Legi-Air 4050 E can easy be operated via the multilingual 7" LCD touch display. Messages like error diagnostics, productivity and maintenance status as well as other events can be monitored. The pneumatics are easily accessible outside the system.

Applicator and stamp variety

Whether single-sided, double-sided or corner wrap labeling - a wide range of applicators and dispensing stamps are available for applying labels to products, packaging and pallets. Even 1-sided pallet labeling with an extra-long dispensing stroke or labeling of uneven product surfaces is possible.

For a very quick changeover to another label format, there is the Quick Change option.

Print modules from all leading manufacturers

Print modules from all leading manufacturers are available for printing labels. Replacing the print module with another one, for example because it has been discontinued, is possible at any time without any problems.

  • Zebra
  • Sato
  • Novexx
  • CAB
  • O’Neill

RFID

An RFID print module is available for programming and printing smart labels. This supports all current RFID standards (UHF). If required, a Bad Tag Reject arm is also available, which can be used to reject faulty labels.
