Axon labeling systems adapt to any speed: Axon can help customers--big and small--develop and...

Faster is better, except when it isn't. For that reason, Axon Corp., a division of Pro Mach Inc., designs and manufactures a wide range of shrink labeling systems for both entry-level and high-volume applications, including full-body shrink sleeve applicators, tamper-evident banding applicators

and heat-shrink tunnels. These components and systems are ideal for food, beverage and pharmaceutical packaging. Customers range from Fortune 500 companies to smaller, privately held businesses.

Axon's EZ-Series shrink sleeving and tamper-evident banding applicators come in a variety of speeds to handle various throughput demands and label sizes. The systems can handle sleeving and banding applications requiring anywhere from five to more than 600 packages per minute, and labels for products ranging in width from 0.25 inches to more than 16 inches.

Axon can both provide complete solutions for containers and shrink systems, and integrate components with existing lines. Axon can assist customers in the design of containers that go well with shrink sleeves, design systems that meet customers' specific needs and help customers launch new products with innovative shrink sleeve packaging.

"Axon's superior film delivery systems can adjust to large numbers of container shapes," says George Albrecht, Axon's vice president of sales. "This ability to accommodate changeovers between sizes gives customers maximum flexibility."

Axon's automatic heat shrink labeling machines are made of corrosion-resistant materials and contain stepper/servo film feeding and cutting systems. They also use state-of-the-art Allen-Bradley programmable controllers, real-time machine monitoring systems and user-friendly operator interface panels to maximize ease of operation. These automatic applicators are designed for continuous cycle operation with minimal operator support.

As a leading innovator of product labeling solutions, Axon has secured numerous patents over the past decade for shrink labeling applications. This technical excellence has enabled the company to penetrate domestic and international markets through a comprehensive network of agents and distributors. The results of these engineering and marketing efforts are exemplified by the thousands of Axon applications worldwide, and by the repeat business and referrals that customers generate.

Following installation of the system or equipment, Axon offers a comprehensive array of aftermarket support, including Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute (PMMI)certified technical documentation and manuals, field service, repairs, maintenance, system audits, troubleshooting and training. The company's technical support staff is multi-lingual for customers who are most comfortable speaking in their native languages.

As an original equipment manufacturer, Axon carries a substantial parts inventory, and in-stock parts are shipped on the day customers place their orders.

When it comes to product quality, suitability and customer service, Axon, in concert with its extensive network of agents and distributors, always goes the extra mile (or kilometer) to support customers.
