Rugged, Intelligent, and Purpose-Built for Industrial Environments
Designed for continuous 24/7 operation, the CL4NX Plus features a rigid industrial frame, wide printhead opening, and simplified media path to withstand harsh manufacturing and warehouse conditions. Advanced label tension control and precise registration reduce misprints and scrap, helping operations maintain throughput without interruption.
Whether deployed on production lines, in print-and-apply systems, or at shipping and receiving stations, the CL4NX Plus is built to keep labeling accurate, consistent, and reliable under pressure.
Simplified Automation with Built-In Intelligence
The CL4NX Plus stands apart with AEP, SATO’s onboard intelligence platform. AEP allows the printer to integrate directly with PLCs, scanners, keyboards, and peripherals using simple data strings, eliminating the need for external PCs and complex software layers. This simplifies automation, reduces IT overhead, and accelerates deployment across production and warehouse environments.
