Feeding the Labels on the Tach ‐ It Model #6510 ‐ TL
Continued:
Please see Figure 2, Figure 6 and Figure 7 for diagrams on the feeding of the labels into the Tach ‐ It Model
#6510 ‐ TL
1) The Label Roll Guides have 3 ‐ inch core inserts fastened into them. Confirm that the Label Roll
Guide placed onto the Label Roll Shaft has the 3 ‐ inch core insert facing away from the Main Frame.
2) Place the roll of labels onto the Label Roll Shaft and against the Label Roll Guide. Ensure that the 3 ‐
inch core insert goes into the core of the label roll. The labels should be feeding from the top of
the roll of labels and when the leading edge of the label liner is pulled, the label roll will rotate in a
counterclockwise direction.
3) Place the 2
nd
Label Roll Guide onto the Label Roll Shaft so that the 3 ‐ inch core insert goes into the
core of the label roll and secure with the Spring Collar. Do not press tight with the Spring Collars.
This will cause tension on the label roll during operation of the machine. The Spring Collars should
be snug against the label roll so that there is no lateral movement of the label roll along the Label
Roll Shaft.
If the labels to be used on the Model #6510 ‐ TL are on a 1” core, simply reverse the Label Roll Guides so that
the 3 ‐ inch cores are facing away from the roll of Labels and secure with the Spring Collars.
4) Take the leading edge of the label liner and feed it between the Lower Urethane Pressure Plate and
the Black Roller Shaft. See Figure 7.
5) Continue taking the leading edge of the label liner towards the Label Waste Rewinder and around
the second Black Roller Shaft. Make sure that the label is going through the slot in the middle of
the Label Sensor, See Figure 9.
6) Continue feeding the leading edge of the label liner to the Brass Separator Plate. Keeping the label
liner against the bronze Separator Plate continue feeding it upward between the Brass Separator
Plate and the Top Urethane Pressure Plate and over the top of the Brass Separator Plate.
7) Folding the label liner over the beveled portion of the Brass Separator Plate, take the label liner
over the 3
rd
Black Roller Shaft and to the Label Waste Rewinder. Using the U ‐ Pin that was
unpacked during the assembly of the Model #6510 ‐ TL, secure the label liner to the Label Waste
Rewinder. Move the O ‐ Rings located on the Black Roller Shafts against the label liner.
8) The labels are now threaded correctly.
9) Both the Lower Urethane Pressure Plate and the Top Urethane Pressure Plate have thumb screws
that will allow the assembly to rotate on the shafts. Loosen the thumb screws on both parts and
rotate the assembly so that the Urethane Pressure Plate is putting pressure on the labels. This will
add some tension to the labels and help maintain consistency in the feeding. Make sure that the
Urethane Pressure Plates are in the middle of the label and move the labels through the Urethane
Pressure Plate. Ensure that the labels move freely and there is not too much tension. If there is
too much tension reduce the pressure on the Urethane Pressure Plates.
10) Pull the liner so that any slack in the label liner is removed and until a label is fed about halfway
above the Top Plate. See Figure 4. Now it is time to setup the Label Sensor.
