Nesting with three-, four- or five-axis technology

HOMAG’s N-600 documentation describes three-, four- and five-axis nesting, furniture applications and automated material handling. The product page also shows a labeling terminal at the outfeed conveyor. HOMAG identifies BHP 300 as a previous product name.

What this means for label selection

An outfeed labeling terminal and a CON3 pre-labeling station are different positions in the workflow. Identify the station you are replenishing before ordering; a photograph of the CNC alone may not show which printer is installed.

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.
