Print-Apply
:
An external start signal releases the print of a label and following the
application of the label. After a cycle is complete, the pad without label
waits in the start position.
Apply-Print
:
An extra signal starts the print of the first label and the transfer of the
label to the pad. The external start signal releases the application of the
label and following the print and transfer of the next label.
After a cycle is complete, the pad with a label is in the waiting position.

Blow time
Controls how long the pads with the suction plates are pressed together.
200 ms
Support delay on
Setting the switch-on delay (max. 2,5 s) for the supporting air between
print start and switching on the supporting air. The delay prevents
swirling at the front of the label and, consequently, avoids faults when
the label is being picked up from the printer.
0 ms
Support delay off
Setting the switch-off delay (max. 2,5 s) for the supporting air between
the end of label forwarding and switching on the supporting air. The
delay can be useful to separate the rear edge of the label from the
carrier to avoid errors and to improve the accuracy of label positioning
270 ms
Start delay
Delay (max. 2,5 s) between start signal and the start of an labelling
cycle.
Allows e.g. the use of product sensors at conveyors.
0 ms
Lock time
Controls the time from the start of flag formation until the pliers open
250 ms
Vacuum delay
On -
The vacuum will be switched on after the label feed is completed.
Off -
The vacuum will be switched on when the label feed starts.
Off
Vacuum control
Setting the label transfer check from printer to pad and from pad to
product by the vacuum sensor
On
Label hand-over
Passive
- The pad waits in front of the dispense edge for the label.
Active
- The pad moves to the dispense edge and takes the label.
Passive
Cleaning blow
Activation of a short blow impulse after the application of the label to
clean the suction channels.
On
Peel-off position
Shift the position of the dispensed label relative to the dispensing edge.
The setting can also be adjusted by the software.
