APPLICATOR SETUP (cont’d)
Multi-Panel Apply
The Multi-Panel Apply Option is used to merge a label onto two or three panels of a product. An example
might include the leading, top, and bottom panels of a clamshell container. The Applicator is initially setup
so that the label is flagged out in front of the product but is still supported on the liner. When a product
detect signal is received, the Applicator will wait for the Label Placement distance. At Label Placement,
the Applicator will feed the “Short Feed Distance” at encoder speed. This will place the next label at the
Peel Edge. The Applicator will wait for the “Product Clearance” distance to allow the product to pass by
the Peel Edge before moving the next label to the flagged out position (Label Stop) at Slew Speed. The
figure below illustrates an example setup with four labels between the Peel Edge and the Label Sensor
along with the measurement definitions:
A: label sensor to peel edge distance
B: label length
C: label flag distance
D’: label stop distance with C = 0 (not shown)
D: label stop distance
E: short feed distance
When the Multi-Panel Option is turned on, the user is prompted to go to the Label Setup Menu and perform
a Label Sensor Auto Teach operation. The
Auto Teach feature will calculate all of the dimensions shown
above if the option is enabled prior to running auto teach. The operator may override these settings by
measuring values B through E above and entering them via the Display.
Note: Since the Multi-Panel
Apply Option is distance based, the Encoder Option must be purchased.
