GENERAL SETUP PROCEDURES
5-6
LABEL STOP
1.
The Label Stop value is the distance from the label edge to the Label Sensor. Allowed values are
between 0.001” and (Label Length – 0.06”).
NOTE: Any value less than .06 may cause the Label Stop to move when the web speed changes.
2.
Press the “LABEL STOP” key from the “LABEL SETUP” menu. Enter a new value (you may
refer to page 3-6 for more details on Label Stop and to page 3-3 for changing variables).
4.
With the Applicator online, jog a label out. If the Label Stop is not where you want it, go back
into the “LABEL STOP” Menu and enter a new value.
NOTE: This adjustment can be made while the Applicator is running.
WEB SPEED
Web Speed is the velocity of the label web in inches per minute. In a Merge application the Web Speed
should be set at the velocity of the product. In Tamp or Air Blow applications the Web Speed will vary
depending on the label size and product rate. Some labels will have to be run at a slower speed so that it
will properly feed out onto the Label Pad/Grid.
Web Speed is under the Applicator Setup Menu. You may review page 3-10 of this Manual for more
information on Web Speed.
NOTE: This adjustment can be made while the Applicator is running.
SLEW SPEED
The Slew Speed value allows the Applicator to speed-up the label dispense cycle in certain time critical
applications. The Slew Speed Menu is located in the Configuration Menu (page 3-26).
Note: In order to improve performance, the slew speed setting must be larger than the current web
speed or encoder rate value.
