LABELER TYPE SETUP PROCEDURE
6-6
TAMP APPLICATOR SETUP (cont’d)
TAMP PEEL EDGE ALIGNMENT
1. Turn the power on, move the Tamp Assembly up and make sure the Applicator is offline.
2.
Advance the web using the Drive Roller.
Stop when half of the label is off the Peel
Edge Tip. The label should be at an angle
between 5 and 15 degrees from the Label Pad
surface. The stiffer the label, the flatter the
angle should be.
3.
To adjust the Peel Edge, loosen the two 1/4
S.H.C.S. screws on the Peel Edge Faceplate
and move the assembly close to the Tamp
Pad. Allow some clearance distance between
the Peel Edge and Tamp assembly. Repeat
step #2 to check label angle. Re-adjust if
needed.
4.
If OK go to Tamp Label Stop.
TAMP LABEL STOP
1. With the Applicator online, jog a couple
of labels.
2.
Label Stop position should be 1/32”
from the Peel Edge Tip.
3.
If needed change the Label Stop value.
(Refer to Label Stop Setup in the
General Job Setup page 6-5)
TAMP VACUUM
The Tamp Pad Vacuum is generated by a Vacuum Venturi located on the Applicator’s Valve Bank. This
vacuum is used to hold the label on the Label Pad until the air blast releases it. Too much or too little
vacuum can affect label placement on the Pad. The amount of vacuum may be changed by adjusting the air
pressure to the Vacuum Regulator feeding the Venturi. A setting of 20 PSI is typical but it may be changed
as needed.
WARNING: It is important to match label size with the Label Pad size so that no holes are
uncovered when the label is on the Pad. This may result in losing vacuum.
