HOW TO SET UP A VARIABLE DATA APPLICATION
•
“TAMP” WITH TWO TRIGGER PHOTO EYES
Variable data application is utilized when the LM3605 is interfaced with a scale or other equipment that will be
transmitting a DIFFERENT label format to the applicator for every label that is applied. When this option is
activated, the use of the
pre-print photo eye (option) is required
. The pre-print photo eye will trigger the printing
of the label. The product photo eye (switch) will trigger the application (tamp) of the label. The reason for two
triggers is to improve the accuracy of the label placement when
printing before applying
.
General set up
1. The PRE-PRINT photo eye connects to the AUX 2 port.
2. The PRE-PRINT photo eye should be set to trigger on the leading edge of the product.
3. The PRE-PRINT photo eye should be set to trigger BEFORE the product switch.
4. The PRE-PRINT photo eye should be set to allow the printer enough time to print the format before the
product switch is activated.
5. The PRODUCT DELAY should be kept to a minimum.
6. With this feature only work with the cycle type set to “tamp after feed’ and only with “leading edge trigger”.
Determine the following and select it in the software
•
“TAMP AFTER FEED”
1. Set Product Sensor to leading edge.
2. Set Cycle type to tamp after feed.
3. Set print Type to “Variable Data ON”
4. Enter a value in the tamp duration (start with 00.500)
5. Set head up limit switch, normally open is standard
6. Use the product delay to “MOVE” the label on the product
The asynchronous application mode is used to apply labels to products that are either stationary or moving at a
constant speed when the label application is to take place.
