Semi-Automatic Fold-Over (Flag) Labeling Machine for Cables

中文对折贴标机

The YIXING fold-over labeling machine is a semi-automatic unit with a display that folds pre-printed labels around wires, cables, tubes and other slim workpieces to form flag labels. It works at ±0.3 mm and 15–25 pcs/min on diameters of 2.2–6.5 mm or 6.5–10.5 mm, and a fixture change adapts it to other sizes.

Overview

This machine applies fold-over (flag) labels to wires and cables, tubes and craft items. The label wraps around the workpiece and its two halves stick together, leaving a flag that stands out from the part. Typical jobs are power cords, data cables, lollipops, jelly products and hardware; the samples show flags on a pen barrel and on cables.

It is a semi-automatic machine with a display. The operator places each part on the fixture, and the machine holds the label by suction and folds it over the part. Labeling accuracy is ±0.3 mm (excluding product and label tolerances) and speed is 15–25 pcs/min, depending on product and label size. It covers two diameter ranges, 2.2–6.5 mm and 6.5–10.5 mm, and changing the fixture adapts it to workpieces of other sizes.

The machine runs pre-printed labels 6–28 mm long and 20–170 mm wide (liner width); larger labels can be custom-built. It measures approx. 910 × 800 × 1100 mm, weighs 80 kg and needs 220 V / 50 Hz power plus compressed air at 0.4–0.6 MPa.

Key advantages

Suction-assisted fold-over

The label is held by suction and folded onto the part, producing a flag label on power cords, data cables, pen barrels and other slim items.

±0.3 mm labeling accuracy

±0.3 mm (excluding product and label tolerances) at 15–25 pcs/min, for cable products where the flag position matters.

Two diameter ranges

Handles workpieces 2.2–6.5 mm or 6.5–10.5 mm in diameter; a different fixture adapts it to other sizes.

Labels 6–28 mm long

Accepts labels 6–28 mm long and 20–170 mm wide (liner width); larger labels can be custom-built.

Semi-automatic loading

The operator loads and unloads parts while the machine does the fold-over, which suits frequent changes between cable and tube types.

Power and air

Approx. 910 × 800 × 1100 mm and 80 kg, running on 220 V / 50 Hz with 0.4–0.6 MPa compressed air.

Options and customization

  • Fixture change for workpieces of other sizes
  • Custom builds for labels larger than the standard range

Selection tips

  • If QR codes or other content must be printed as you label, choose the print-and-fold cable labeling machine, which adds a printer and uses fixtures for 1–3, 2–5, 3–7 and 4–10 mm (one set standard).
  • If one part needs two labeling heads working together, look at the custom dual-head label fold-over machine, built around your workpiece and label layout.
  • Parts outside the two diameter ranges can be handled by changing the fixture; size the fixture to the actual workpiece.

FAQ

What cable diameters does the fold-over labeling machine handle?

Two ranges: 2.2–6.5 mm and 6.5–10.5 mm. Changing the fixture adapts the machine to workpieces of other sizes.

What label sizes does the fold-over labeler take?

Labels 6–28 mm long and 20–170 mm wide (liner width). Larger labels can be custom-built.

How fast and accurate is the fold-over labeling machine?

15–25 pcs/min at ±0.3 mm (excluding product and label tolerances); actual speed depends on product and label size.

Does the fold-over labeler need compressed air?

Yes. It needs an air supply of 0.4–0.6 MPa as well as 220 V / 50 Hz power.

Can the fold-over labeling machine print while it labels?

No printer is included: the machine has a display and works with pre-printed labels. To print QR codes or other content during labeling, choose the print-and-fold cable labeling machine.

What can it label besides cables?

Tubes and craft items such as lollipops, jelly products and hardware, plus pen barrels as shown in the samples.
