SECTION 1 OVERVIEW
INTRODUCTION
Featuring solid-state circuitry and an AC Synchronous Motor, the L60 is a high performance,
low maintenance label applicator. The L60 applicator is designed to apply a pressure
sensitive label to a product through the action of an
air-cylinder-mounted , or blow-on ,
vacuum head. The labeling process can be automatic when interfaced with a conveyor, or
semi-automatic with a table-based product fixture. When triggered, the L60
Tamp vacuum
head extends to meet the product. When the air cylinder returns the vacuum head to the
home position, another label is indexed onto the head and is waiting to be applied to the
next product. The L60
BLOW vacuum head blows the label onto the product, and another
label is indexed and ready for the next product.
Switches:
There are two switches on the front panel of the applicator. The Main switch turns the
power on or off, and if a Hot Stamp Coder is used, will allow it to heat up. The Motor switch
controls the motor that turns the drive roller and waste rewind. Fig 1
Product Detection:
The product can be detected on the leading or trailing edge. To change from leading to
trailing edge, set switch 4 of the power module to the ON position. (

Recommended Settings:
There are many different label compositions, so there is no one set of machine settings (air
pressure, etc.), which will work on all types of labels. The following recommended air
regulator settings will give the operator a place to start.
Set the air cylinder pressure to about 15 psi. The vacuum pump input pressure will vary
according to label density and size, which you can start at 5-10 psi. Turning the regulator
knobs on the side of the machine can regulate air pressures. Fig 1
