Functionality
The LA -TO applicator is an additional module to be mounted to one of the above
named label dispensers or print & apply machines (see chapter
on page 2). The device takes over self-adhesive labels from the dispensing
edge of the dispenser/print & apply machine, moves each of the labels to the product
in a linear movement and attaches it to the product.
The label is held by a pressure plate that is driven by a pneumatic cylinder between
home position and end position.
In home position, the label is taken over from the dispenser or the print & apply ma-
chine. The arrival of the pressure plate in home position is detected by a sensor at the
pneumatic cylinder of the applicator. The label is peeled off the backing paper by the
dispensing edge and is pushed under the pressure plate, where it is sucked on by a
vacuum. Additionally, the label is blown onto the pressure plate by an air stream from
the support air nozzle. Afterwards, the pressure plate moves to the end position,
where the label is attached to the product.
The arrival in the end position is either detected by a sensor (sensor controlled), or by
reaching the end of a the time interval set in the parameter menu (time controlled, see
chapter
All products have to be of the same height.
