LABELER TYPE SETUP PROCEDURE
6-1
MERGE APPLICATOR SETUP
The Merge Applicator is used to apply labels to
products moving on a conveyor. A label is fed
onto the surface of the product at the same speed
that the product is moving.
1. Under Applicator Type in the Configuration Menu on the Display, select “MERGE” Apply Type.
Also, indicate whether it is in a Right-Hand or Left-Hand configuration. If there were any Options
turned on, they will be turned off when changing Applicator Types. If the Dispense Direction is
changed and the Applicator Type Menu is exited, the Applicator will force the operator to cycle
the power to the Applicator before any other changes can be made.
2.
Go through the General Setup procedure which is starts on page 6-1 of this Manual.
3.
Position the Peel Edge so it’s between 1/8” and 1/2” away from the product at approximately 20
degrees to the product surface.
4.
Adjust the Applicator Brush so that it
will lightly touch the product. It should
be angled so that the label is supported
as it is fed out.
NOTE: The Applicator
Brush is used to aid in the tacking of
the label to the product. It is not made
to be a wipe down.
5.
Label Stop can be set so that the label is
flagged past the Peel Edge but must miss
the passing product.
6.
Web Speed should be set to match the speed of the product.
7.
Go to the Product Setup section of this Manual to turn on any of the Merge specific Options (i.e.
Profile, Multi-Panel, etc.) you need. You may next go to the Applicator Options and turn on any
other Options you will be using.
