Chapter 1 General Information Page 1-1

1.1 Description

The Buskro BK731 Labeler is designed to apply pressure-sensitive labels onto mail

pieces. The system offers full flexibility in its ability to apply labels onto mail pieces.

Simplified mechanical adjustments and software controlled label placement functions

offer unsurpassed ease of use permitting rapid job setups.

In keeping with Buskro’s philosophy of ease of use, the Labeling head is designed with

many innovative features. The Labeling head is controlled through software via an

operator keypad that permits rapid selection of the number of labels dispensed and their

placement positions. A unique label-sensing feature allows the operator to easily adjust

the label pitch at a touch of a button. The Labeling head mechanism was designed with

few mechanical parts to allow easy label threading and machine setup to improve

productivity. The Labeling head is mounted on two aluminum extrusion rails, which

allow the Labeling head to be moved easily from side to side to allow labels to be placed

at different locations on the mail piece and facilitate fine tune adjustment. In addition, the

peel point assembly can be adjusted up, down, and laterally for different material

thicknesses and label widths.

All these features, in addition to the manufacturing quality and innovative product design

add up to an extremely functional labeling system capable of years of reliable and trouble

free operation.

1.2 Features

1.2.1 High Speed Production

The BK731 Labeling head is capable of high production speeds in excess of 35,000 PPH

for single label operation, 30,000 PPH for double label operation, and 28,000 PPH for

triple label operation. The unit has been solidly constructed with electrical components

capable of delivering reliable, full-day production.

1.2.2 Simplified Mechanical Adjustments

The BK731 Labeling head is design for ease of use and portability. The operator keypad

is easily accessible simply by sliding it in and out of view. The BK731 Labeler is

mounted on two aluminum extrusion rails, which allow easy movement of the Labeling

head to place labels at different locations on the mail piece and facilitate fine adjustment

of label placement on the product. The peel point can also be adjusted up, down, and

laterally for different product thicknesses and width. Label threading is easy since the

Labeler has few rollers and a large label bin. In addition, the despool roller is not

controlled by a motor but a simple adjustment knob thus reducing the cost of repair. The

Labeler is also fully portable as all the electronics are located inside the unit.

1.2.3 Software Controlled Labeler Head Functions

All Labeling head functions are controlled through software and use an operator keypad

interface for command entry. A unique feature is the automatic label pitch setting, which

allows the operator to set the distance between each label on the backing paper at a touch

of a button. Other features include type of labels, position of labels, full labeling head

diagnostics, product sensor selection, peel point sensor sensitivity adjustment and

production and life counters.

1.2.4 Construction, Safety Features, and Maintenance

All mechanical and electrical system components in the Labeler have been designed for

long-lasting and extensive use. Included is a full safety package with feedback through

the operator display, monitored by a series of interlocking sensors. The Labeling head

operator interface is easily accessible with a simple slide rail design on the Labeling head.
