Flexible production and Concept 3 handling

Stiles’ N-300 documentation describes nesting routers for cabinetry, doors, drawers, furniture and other panel-processing applications. Its handling overview specifically describes Concept 3 with integrated labeling, automatic loading and unloading from a scissor lift or roller table, and an outfeed belt. The brochure also distinguishes basic, compact and other handling configurations.

What this means for label selection

For N-300 owners, record the handling concept as well as the machine model. Concept 3 and Concept 3R appear separately in the brochure; use the equipment installed on your line to identify the printer and media path.

CON3 pre-labeling: SRD ILX or SRD ILS

SRD identifies this model in CON3 configuration with SRD pre-labeling as a supported production workflow. It may be equipped with either an SRD ILX or SRD ILS printer. Check the installed printer’s model plate before selecting labels; the CNC model alone does not identify the printer.

Choose the correct label roll

  1. Record the printer model and whether it uses direct thermal media or thermal transfer media with ribbon.
  2. Match label face dimensions, full liner width, core diameter, winding direction and maximum roll diameter to the existing setup.
  3. Confirm the applicator and sensor requirements. For legacy ILX 81/12 systems, check the media-width and orientation guidance, especially for 4 × 2 labels.

Compare 3 × 3 DTL, 3 × 3 TTL, 4 × 2 DTL and 4 × 2 TTL only after matching your configuration. SRD rolls contain 3,000 labels per roll; a box of four contains 12,000 labels.

Ask SRD to check your printer and roll. Send the printer nameplate and current roll details.
