YIMU YM215 Automatic Ampoule & Ball Pen Labeling Machine: Precision Solution for Small Cylindrical Objects
1. Product Overview
The YIMU YM215 is a specialized fully automatic labeling system designed specifically for small cylindrical workpieces. It integrates ultra-high precision, a compact structure, and intelligent control to solve labeling challenges for tiny items such as ampoules, ball pens, test tubes, and vials. Equipped with miniature photoelectric sensors, servo-driven positioning, and a space-saving design, the machine delivers ±0.2 mm labeling accuracy while adapting to various specifications of small workpieces.
Compliant with pharmaceutical and laboratory hygiene standards (constructed with SS304 stainless steel and aluminum alloy), the YM215 is ideal for small-batch production, laboratory use, or specialized manufacturing lines in the pharmaceutical, stationery, cosmetic, and medical device industries. It eliminates manual labeling errors and boosts efficiency for scenarios requiring high precision.

3. Core Features & Technical Advantages
- Tailored for workpieces with a diameter of 3–20 mm: Miniature photoelectric sensors with high magnification detect tiny objects in real time, ensuring stable positioning (even for test tubes with a 3mm diameter).
- Narrow-width precision conveyor (20–50 mm adjustable) avoids "missing" or misaligned small workpieces—solving a common problem with standard labeling machines.
- Servo motor-driven labeling head + micro-positioning algorithm achieves ±0.2 mm accuracy—critical for pharmaceutical ampoules (batch coding must be clear and aligned) and high-end stationery (brand label aesthetics).
- Thin label adaptation: A specially calibrated label application roller prevents wrinkling or bubbling on small, curved surfaces (e.g., ball pen barrels, vial necks).
- Space-saving structure (18006001500 mm): Fits in small workshops, laboratories, or production lines with limited floor space—no need for dedicated large equipment areas.
- Quick-adjustment knobs: Tool-free adjustment for object diameter and label position; switch between ampoules and ball pens in less than 5 minutes without complex disassembly.
- SS304 stainless steel + aluminum alloy frame resists corrosion and chemical cleaning agents—compliant with pharmaceutical GMP and laboratory hygiene requirements.
- Smooth, crevice-free surfaces allow easy sterilization (e.g., alcohol wiping) to prevent cross-contamination in medical and chemical applications.
- Touch screen interface displays real-time status (remaining labels, object flow) and alerts for common issues (label shortage, object jam, sensor misalignment).
- Built-in troubleshooting guidance reduces downtime by 80% compared to manual labeling—ideal for teams without specialized technical staff.
