CONFIGURATION SETUP (cont’d)
(APPLICATOR OPTIONS)
Label On Pad Option – The Label On Pad
Option cannot be enabled if the Applicator
Type is set to Merge. With the proper
Vacuum Switch Sensor Assembly installed
in the Applicator, the Label On Pad Output
will match the current state of the Vacuum
Switch Sensor while the Blow Valve is not
active.
Vacuum Off Option – This Option requires the Applicator to be fitted with a Vacuum Off Valve Bank.
This Option can only be enabled it the Applicator Type is set to N-Tamp. Enabling this Option will change
the labeling sequence for the Applicator. With the Vacuum Off Option enabled and the Applicator online,
the Applicator will wait for the Product Detect Input. Once the Product Detect Input is received, the
Applicator will turn the Vacuum Valve on and a label will be fed out. When the Blow Valve is turned on
to apply the label, the Vacuum Valve will be
turned off. The Vacuum Valve will remain off
until the next Product Detect Input is received.
This labeling sequence will require a slower
product rate and a higher Label Placement
amount so that the Applicator has enough time
to completely dispense the label and activate
the Tamp Valve. If the product rate is too high
for the labeling sequence, the Product Rate
Warning will be generated on the Display.
Product Detect Queuing Option – Enabling this Option will allow the Applicator to queue the Label
Placement locations for up to ten (10)
products before the first product is labeled.
This means that there can be up to ten (10)
products to be positioned between the
Product Detect Sensor and Peel Edge of the
Applicator. This Option could be
beneficial in applications where there is
limited room in the area of the Peel Edge.
If the Applicator is taken offline while there
are products in the queue, those products
will not be labeled. If there are products in
the queue but the first label has not been
applied and the Jog Key or Jog Switch is
used, the first product will not be labeled. Once the first label of the queued set is dispensed, the Jog
Function will be disabled until the queue is empty. The placement of queued labels might vary slightly due
to how the positions are stored and this should be taken into consideration if tight tolerances for label
placement are needed.
