HOW TO APPLY MULTIPLE LABELS TO A SINGLE PRODUCT
•
WHEN UTILIZING A ENCODER
This section will explain how to apply more than one label to a single product with a single start signal. TRIGGER
DISTANCE will move the label placement in inches (00.00) for the
FIRST LABEL
. MULTIPLE FEED will allow
you to select how many labels to be applied. Note that when the start signal “goes false” this feature is reset.
When the encoder feature is used, the product delay feature is rendered inactive.
1. Set basic applicator up first, refer to quick setup
2. Ensure that the applicator is operating properly before starting this procedure.
3. This feature requires the use of an encoder. The appropriate encoder features should be setup prior to this
feature.
4. Set ENCODER to “ON”.
5. Set CONVEYOR LOCK to “ON” if in SYNCHRONOUS operation and “OFF” if in ASYNCHRONOUS
operation.
6. Set TRIGGER DIST to 00.00 (refer to TRIGGER DISTANCE setup)
7. Start system and apply label at the desired speed.
8. Check the placement of the label on the product.
9. Measure the OFFSET of the label placement. Note: A label CAN NOT be advanced on the product ONLY
moved “back” since the applicator can only delay the product signal.
10. Apply the measured offset to the TRIGGER DISTANCE or if too great it may be necessary to physically move
the product switch. Keep trigger distances to a minimum for best results.
11. Operate system again and measure offset.
12. Enter the measured offset, IF ANY, into the TRIGGER DISTANCE.
13. Test again, repeat if necessary until label is in proper registration.
14. Go to MULTIPLE FEED in menu #1 and set the number of labels to be applied to the product.
15. Set the Distance between each label by measuring from the front of the product to where you would like the
label to be applied.
16. Set this distance in the 0 to 2 and repeat this for each label to be applied. 0 to 3, 0 to 4, etc.
17. Test the placement of the label and adjust as necessary. Note: The measurements entered are reference only
and may not correspond exactly to the actual label offset measurements.
18. Note: TRAILING EDGE TRIGGER will NOT work with this feature!
19. Note: Product speed fluctuations can effect label placement.
20. Turn back on any options that may have been disabled for setup of this particular feature.
