3.15 Dual Panel 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 dual panel tamp assemblies mount to the baseplate using the same mounting slots as
a regular tamp assembly. The ID100241-12-XX units mount directly to the slots in the
same manner as the other tamp units. The ID100240-12-XX units utilize a clamping
plate arrangement to secure the unit to the baseplate using the same slots.
To mount the dual panel tamp, remove the four supplied M8x50 socket head screws, flat,
and spring washers, from the unit. Place the tamp unit 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
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.
Dual Panel Tamp units require the addition of an extra solenoid valve to the pneumatic
manifold unit. It may be necessary to loosen or remove the screws attaching the
pneumatic manifold. Locate the circles on the nameplate label surrounding the
pneumatic gauges. With a sharp object, cut out the inner portion of the circle indicating
where the solenoid valve/regulator is to be added. Use a small screwdriver to remove the
blanking plate and gasket next to a valve/regulator on the pneumatic manifold assembly.
Carefully align the provided solenoid valve, valve gasket, regulator, and regulator gasket.
Attach the components to the manifold with the screws included with the regulator.
Ensure that the gaskets are properly aligned, intact, and not pinched. Locate the tubing
fittings on the manifold for the new valve/regulator just installed. On the upper tubing
connection fitting, install the supplied green color cap. Place the red color cap on the
lower tubing connection fitting. Install the wiring harness on the solenoid valve and
route the wiring with the harnesses from the other valves. Plug the connector into the J20
connection on the Electrical Module PCB. Ensure that the regulator gauges fit in the
cutout holes and reinstall the pneumatic module.
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,
red, green, and grey tube in 1/4” diameter. Two flow controls are also included and used
to regulate the swing action speed.
