3.14 Swing Tamp Assembly
Start by removing the back cover from the applicator using a 3mm hex wrench.
Before attempting to service machinery, the machine must be turned
off and the power and air locked out.
The swing tamp assembly mounts to the baseplate using the same mounting slots as a
regular tamp assembly. A spacer block, placed between the baseplate and the swing tamp
frame, serves to position the unit at the proper distance from the baseplate. This spacer
block is used for all mounting orientations.
To mount the swing tamp, remove the four supplied M8x50 socket head screws, flat, and
spring washers, from the unit. Place the spacer block in position on the front of the
baseplate over the slots. Insert one of the M8 screws, with washers, through the slots
from the rear of the baseplate far enough to support the spacer block. Align the correct
swing tamp unit mounting hole, and loosely attach the unit to the baseplate. Continue the
process until all four screws have been attached. The series of six holes in the lower plate
of the module should face towards the peel tip. Finally, locate the vacuum tamp pad,
which is specific to the label size being used, and remove the two M6 cap screws. Align
the tamp pad with the bottom of the adapter plate, making sure the M6 hole closest to the
faceplate matches the tamp adapter plate hole closest to the faceplate. Install both M6
cap screws, be sure the pad is square to the plate and tighten using a 5mm hex wrench.
The pneumatic connections are very similar to the other tamp assemblies. Locate the
tubing that was supplied with the tamp module. There should be a black, blue, yellow,
and grey tube in 1/4” diameter. Two flow controls are also included and used to regulate
the swing action speed.
