APPLICATION NOTES
Intended Purpose
Applicators of type LA-BO are additional units for print-and-apply or labelling heads that are listed
in the section
Machine type

on page 5. They take self-adhesive labels from the dispenser mech-
anism and stick these onto moving or non-moving products.
The LA-BO is mounted to the print-and-apply (ALX 92x) or labelling head (ALS 20x/256) by means
of an included base plate. The applicator is controlled by the optional Applicator Interface (AI) board
(mandatory for ALX and optional for ALS) or by the Internal Applicator Interface (ALS only). The
electrical connection to the LA-BO is done via a plug connector. The drive is provided by com-
pressed air.
Remark : The optional Applicator Interface (AI) board is not included with the LA-BO and has to be
ordered separately with the print-and-apply or labelling head.
The application process is triggered by means of a product sensor, which is also connected to the
AI-board.
Installation position
Permissible installation positions for the LA-BO are:
• Vertical , if application takes place from top to bottom (also referred to as “top labelling”: the
product is located below the applicator) or from bottom to top (also referred to as “bottom label-
ling”: the product is located above the applicator).
• Horizontal (also referred to as “side labelling”: the product is located next to the applicator)
