Blow Tube Pressure
The Blow Tube ( P/N: .14018-LT ) that guides the label onto the pad from
the dispensing edge of the printer is regulated by a flow control. DO NOT
increase air pressure to the system. Adjust the blow tube flow control.
Air Pressure and Regulation
The incoming air pressure of the machine should not exceed 100psi. You
may damage the pneumatic components if the pressure exceeds this
value.
Note: A minimum air pressure of 43 psi is required by the
valve manufacturer to properly operate the air piloted staking style
solenoid valves below.
Your labeler was optimized for performance at
the factory using between 45 and 50 + pounds of incoming air pressure
depending on the application setup.
Solenoids
The LX600 labeler uses two “air piloted stacking style” solenoid valves
PN: ( N402-163) as part of a combined manifold assembly (with
individual cable per solenoid) to perform its operations. Each valve has
a manual activation button to manually override and actuate the
valve for testing. (Locate the small Yellow button near the bottom
of the valve. Use a small flat blade screw driver tip to engage this
button.)
The pneumatic diagram in the next chapter is used for to
determine functionality, diagnosis, and piping in conjunction with the
LX600 system.
