DAT INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The 3600 dual action tamp printer applicator is a high speed labeler used to thermally print and
apply pressure sensitive labels to the leading edge and side of moving products. A thermal
transfer printer is integrated into the applicator to form a self-contained unit that will print
variable data onto a label.
Labels are supplied on rolls that consist of a liner on which the labels are held with adhesive. The
labels may be preprinted with the variable information added by the printer or blank labels with
the printer printing the entire label.
The applicator is designed to be mounted in a nose-down attitude 90 degrees of product flow. A
label is printed, dispensed out onto the label pad and held there by vacuum. When the product
detect sensor is made, the label and label pad swing out in front of the moving product using a
rotary actuator. When the rotary actuator is fully extended, the label is blow off the pad onto the
leading edge of the product. The label pad rotates back home to receive a second label. After the
second label placement time/distance has been satisfied, the label pad tamps toward the side of
the product using a pneumatic slide. The label is blown off when the slide is fully extended and
then returns home to repeat the cycle for the next product. Exceptions to this sequence can be
addressed through a custom applicator.
The applicator can work in two different modes:
Normal Tamp Blow
Inverted Tamp Blow
In the Normal Tamp Blow mode, the label is printed, dispensed out onto the label pad and held
there by vacuum. When the product detect sensor is made, the label and label pad are moved
toward the product using a pneumatic slide and/or rotary actuator. When the slide or swing arm
is extended, an air blast will blow the label off the pad and onto the product.
In the Inverted Tamp mode, the label is printed, dispensed onto the label pad and the slide or
swing arm extends. The applicator will wait in this position until the product sensor is made. The
label is then blown off the pad onto the product. See the DAT applicator setup section for details.
For safe and trouble free operation, the instructions in this manual must be followed carefully
during the set-up, operation, media changes, cleaning and maintenance. Also the specified
environmental conditions must be maintained.
Electrical Supply : 108-132 Volts, 5 Amps, 50-60 Hertz, Single phase
A three meter long, three wire cable with 1.00mm conductors
rated at 10 amperes (in accordance with CENELEC HD-21)
is provided for the electrical connection to the IEC 320
receptacle of the applicator. The end of the power cord is
terminated with a NEMA 5-15 plug.
