ACCESSORIES
The following is only a partial list of Accessories available for the 360a Applicator.
ELECTRONIC CROSSOVER
The Electronic Crossover or “Zero Downtime” Accessory is an electronic interface between two labeling
Applicators positioned in series on a conveyor system. The Crossover System monitors the Primary
Applicator’s Fault conditions and switches to a Secondary Applicator to prevent interruption of production
flow. When purchasing this option, make sure you receive (2) Link Port Harnesses, (1) Crossover Cable
and an Encoder Assembly with a Splitter Cable.
IMPRINTER
The Imprinter Accessory is a Hot Stamp Imprinter device mounted on special bracketry attached to the
Applicator. This normally is a factory-installed unit. Please contact the factory concerning the types of
Imprinters supported.
LOOSE LOOP
The Loose Loop Accessory is designed to integrate an Applicator with a Direct Thermal /Thermal Transfer
Printer in a “Loose Loop” fashion. This Option includes electrical modifications to the Printer, Sensor
Array to monitor Loop Position, and mounting hardware to support the Applicator and Printer from a
vertical upright (includes Yard Arm). Since there are many Printers and configurations, please contact the
factory with your specific needs.
LOW LABEL DETECTION
The Low Label Detection Accessory is a Sensor that generates a signal when the Unwind is low on labels.
The Applicator will display an Alarm Status Box at the Main Menu, it will also activate the Amber Light
on the Alarm Light Stack (if purchased) to inform the operator that the Unwind is about to run out of labels.
This Option may be field installed.
TAMP SWITCH
A Tamp Switch Accessory is available for Tamp Applicators that uses one (1) or two (2) Sensors to control
the Tamp Slide Assembly. When the Tamp Home Switch is activated, the Applicator dispenses a label
onto the Tamp Pad. When the Tamp Return Switch senses a product, the label is applied to the product and
the Tamp Pad returns to the Peel Edge.
WEB BREAK DETECTION
The Web Break Detection Accessory is a Sensor that generates a signal when there is a break in the web.
The Applicator will display an Alarm Screen and activate the Red Light on the Alarm Light Stack (if
purchased) to inform the operator that the label web is broken.
16” AND 20” UNWINDS
The factory can supply Applicators with larger Unwinds Assemblies for longer run applications. Before
purchasing an Unwind Assembly, consult the factory to determine if the speed of application and the
amount of waste requires a Powered Rewind Assembly.
POWERED REWIND
A Powered Rewind Assembly is used in high-speed applications and in cases where it is necessary to wind-
up additional waste from an oversized Unwind Assembly. This is a factory-installed Option.
