INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The 3600-PA Powered Unwind printer applicator is a high-speed labeler used to thermally print
and apply pressure sensitive labels to moving products. This applicator is designed to handle
larger diameter label rolls than the standard 3600. A thermal transfer printer is integrated into the
applicator to form a self-contained unit that will print variable data onto a label. The printer
applicator can be mounted in almost any position adjacent to product flow to apply labels to top,
sides or bottom of products as they pass by. 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 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. When the slide is extended, an air blast will blow
the label off the pad and onto the product.
In the Inverted Tamp Blow mode, the label is printed, dispensed onto the label pad and the slide
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.
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.
Air Supply : Clean and dry compressed air must be provided at pressures
90 to 100 P.S.I. with a minimum flow rate of 4 S.C.F.M.
Environment : Operating temperature range is 40 to 95
°
F (5 to 35
°
C).
Operating humidity range is 20 to 85% RH, non-condensing.
Note : The model 3600-PA is not intended to be operated in an environment
where flammable or explosive gases are present. The model 3600-PA
MUST not be used in direct contact with food products.
The following section for powered unwind type applicators will discuss items that pertain
only to this applicator type. Items not covered here will be covered in the standard 3600
section of this manual.
