MECHANICAL PLACEMENT OF THE
MACHINE

The model 3115NV is mounted at the installation site to provide a safe, adjustable and stable alignment of
the label to be applied, with the product.

The physical properties of the applicator are shown in Figure 3. The orientation of the applicator label
dispenser can be upright and above, nose up, nose down, and reels up. A gimbal function is provided
when the U-arm is used to support the applicator housing by its pivot attachments and by the freedom
provided by rotation about the 3/4 inch mounting bolt. The structure supporting the U-arm/applicator body
must be designed to safely support the 140 lb (63.5 Kg) weight and in some orientations, the moment
generated by the support extended out by almost 12 inches (30cm).

If the installer selects a support base that is mounted on casters, the maximum overturning moment that can
be experienced when the floor is non-horizontal must be considered in the design of the support. Some
safety agencies specify that for a truly portable stand that the design should consider safely supporting the
applicator in its worst orientation for a 10 degree tilt. Also, the casters should have locks to prevent
inadvertent motion of the support.

All portable supports should have a means to anchor the unit to the floor if the applicator need not be
moved for periods between applying labels.

Place the machine so that the peeler plate tip is 1/8 inch from the product's labeling surface. Make sure that
only the wiper will touch the product as it passes the machine. The position of the machine should allow
the operator to easily change labels.

When you have correctly assembled and positioned the machine, tighten any adjustment locks to prevent the
machine from moving.
