INTRODUCTION
The CTM Labeling Systems’ 360a Series Modular Labeling System is a high-speed Applicator used to
apply pressure sensitive labels to moving products on a production line. It is essentially a self-contained
Module that may be mounted in almost any position to apply labels to the top, bottom, or sides of packages
as they pass by on a production line.
The CTM Labeling Systems’ 360a Series Modular Labeling System is unique in that the Main Module can
be adapted to three different types of Applicators: Air Blow, Merge, or Tamp by changing the Nose
Assembly. The symmetrical design of the Applicator allows labels to be dispensed to the right or left side
of the Applicator. The Applicator Type and configuration (either left or right -handed) will depend on the
type of product to be labeled and the arrangement of the production line.
If your application needs changed in the future, a different Nose Assembly may be purchased but the Main
Module would remain the same. There is no need to purchase a completely new Applicator. The CTM
Labeling Systems’ 360a Series Modular Labeling System can be easily changed over to a different apply
type by simply removing the existing Nose from the module and replacing it with a different Nose.
You can also change the configuration (right-hand or left-hand) by simply moving the Applicator Nose
from one side of the Applicator to the other. All the parts are interchangeable*. Everything you need is
already included with each Applicator Nose to make the change using your existing Module.
* Tamp Pad & Manifolds as well as some Options are hand specific.
The labels should be supplied on a liner web with a minimum label gap of 1/8”. The Applicator will accept
and dispense labels from rolls up to 20” O.D. Label accuracy is mostly dependant on product handling but
the Label Stop at the Peel Edge will be /- 1/32 inch when using labels constructed with a liner that
does not stretch.
For safe trouble free operation of the Applicator, carefully follow the instructions in this Manual during
setup, operation, label roll changes, cleaning, and maintenance. The Applicator is designed to operate
under the following environmental conditions:
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: 207-253 Volts, 3 Amps, 50 - 60 Hertz, Single-Phase
108-132 Volts, 7 Amps, 50 - 60 Hertz, Single-Phase
AIR SUPPLY: The applicator requires clean and dry compressed air at pressures between 6.2 and
6.9 bar (90 - 100 P.S.I.) with a minimum flow rate of 113.3 L/min (4 S.C.F.M).
•
Note: In the tamp applicator, an increase in venturi vacuum
pressure may lead to higher SCFM requirements.
ENVIRONMENT: Operating temperature range is 10 to 35
°
C (50 to 95
°
F). Operating humidity
range is 20 to 85% RH, non-condensing.
NOTE: THE 360a SERIES MLS IS NOT INTENDED TO BE OPERATED IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE GASSES ARE PRESENT. THE 360a
SERIES MLS IS NOT TO BE USED IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH FOOD PRODUCTS.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY. This Manual includes all of the
information needed to setup the Applicator under normal operating conditions. The instructions include
important safety precautions that must not be ignored.
