ICE Vulcan Service Manual
Label Sensor
This infra-red, thru-beam detector senses the opacity of the label liner before the label is
removed. In doing so, it also senses the spaces between the labels and provides label stop
control. The sensitivity of this sensor is adjustable, and the stopping position of the label,
which is relative to the peel edge, is adjusted electronically.
Label Size
This is the dimension of the label (width x length).
Label Unwind
This is the subsystem that unwinds the label supply roll to facilitate label application.
LCD
LCD is a thin, flat display device made up of any number of color or monochrome pixels
arrayed in front of a light source or reflector.
Line Select
Line Select mode allows the controller to hold multiple jobs in RAM, which in turn allows the
user to select the jobs for marking. Line selection mode allows up to 16 jobs to be configured
on the laser system.
BCD mode: Line Select
Refresh the Print Memory
The print memory is updated automatically within CLARiTY.
Rewind Roll
This is the mandrel provided to store the spent label web.
Tamp Application Module
This is a label applicator that uses an air cylinder that extends to apply the label on to the
object and retracts to its home position. The label is dispensed onto a tamp pad (through the
air assist mechanism) and is held in place by vacuum created within the tamp (by the
pneumatic module). When the product moves under the tamp, the tamp assembly extends
and applies the label to the product. Immediately the tamp retracts and is ready for another
extension.
Tamp Pad
Tamp pad is a part of the tamp applicator that holds the label during the application process. There
are holes in the pad through which the air is sucked, creating vacuum inside the tamp. The vacuum
helps the tamp to hold the label till the air cylinder extends the tamp and affixes the label on to the
object. Each tamp pad is manufactured for a specific label size and should not be used for a label size
that does not match.
