Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of labeling technology, and in particular relates to a vision-guided labeling machine. Background Art

[0002] Existing labeling machines are mostly composed of a peeling machine, a robot, and a placement head. During operation, the label is separated from the centrifugal paper. The robot then drives the placement head to move the label to the product packaging, completing the labeling operation. However, before labeling, this structure requires manual positioning of the product's outer surface where the label is to be placed, and then the conveyor line moves the label over. If the positioning is not done in advance, the label is easily attached crookedly or in the wrong place. However, after long hours of work, people easily fatigue and need time to rest, which leads to low work efficiency. Therefore, a new technology is proposed. Utility Model Content
