At the heart of the 6974 Label Printer-Applicator from FOX IV Technologies is the TSC/Printronix PEX-2000 print engine, which is designed for all types of automated labeling applications.
FOX IV’s new Series 8 body design incorporates the TSC/Printronix print engine into a precision engineered center-wall designed to eliminate label tracking or breakage. With an upgraded heavy-duty backing rewind system, extra-large 16” OD label roll capacity, and intuitive color control displays, the 6974 is suitable for manufacturing and logistics applications where extended-run label printing and application is needed.
Additionally, both the Allen-Bradley control system and addressable Ethernet I/O enable integration into production and fulfillment lines.
The 6974 is compatible with most major label printer languages, making it suitable to use in a mixed print engine environment, on a new line, or as a replacement for other labeling systems. Print resolutions of 200, 300, and 600 dpi provide quality printing no matter the size or character. An optional RFID module enables encoding, printing and application of RFID tags onto products or packaging, while the Ribbon Saver option maximizes thermal ribbon use, reducing cost of production and minimizing ribbon waste. The 6974 also features a small label mode capable of printing labels as small as 5 mm in height.
