Glossary
A
Adhesive label: Self-adhering labels that either adhere permanently or are removable are referred to as adhesive
labels.
Application: Refers to a certain type of operation, manner of operation or purpose.
B
Backing paper: The part of the label web on which the labels are located and which is rewound after the labels are
dispensed.
Base unit: This term refers to the assembly that contains the drive motor and the display (HMI). The dispense
button is also included in the base unit.
C
Clamping plate: Device for fixing the label web between this plate and the transport roller. Required for
transporting the label web.
D
DIP switches: A small sliding switch in the base unit of winder systems for selecting a certain function on the
winder.
Dispensing: Transport of the label web, generally to detach a label from the web, is referred to as dispensing. In
production this occurs automatically, but it can also be performed manually using the dispense button
located above the display.
F
Format: A set of parameters for processing a specific product. Saving and reusing formats allows you to set all
necessary parameters and their values with a single click.
FS03: A label sensor developed by HERMA that is also suitable for transparent labels.
H
HMI: Abbreviation for “human machine interface”. Refers to a display, e.g. the touchscreen used in the
HERMA 500.
L
Label sensor: A sensor that detects the beginning and end of a label, i.e. the gaps between the labels, during
transport of the label web.
Label web: The label web consists of the backing paper and the labels located on it.
Loop module: This module between the unwinder and dispensing system produces a loop in the label web to
reduce tension on the web. This increases both the possible applicator speed and the precision of label
application.
