TAMP INTERRUPT SENSOR
Normally,
the
side
tamp
is
not
fully
extended
when
the
air
blast
transfers
the
label
onto
the
product.
The
Tamp
Interrupt
Sensor
can
be
used
to
prevent
the
tamp
pad
from
colliding
with
the
product
when
labeling
products
of
different
sizes,
or
when
products
are
presented
in
various
positions
relative
to
the
applicator.
When
the
tamp
extends
and
encounters
the
product
before
the
tamp
has
fully
extended,
the
Tamp
Interrupt
Sensor
detects
the
products.
When
the
tamp
interrupt
sensor
detects
the
product,
the
air
cylinder
is
switched
off
to
return
the
tamp
and
the
air
blast
is
initiated
to
apply
the
label.
