5.4 Configuring the Air Cylinder/Tamp Pad
This section assumes that you have already made all electrical and air pressure
connections and that a label has been sent to the PA/4000 from an outside source; ie:
a PC with Performance Series for Windows
TM
Labeling Software.
You will be manually configuring the air flow controls on the air cylinder/tamp pad
to control the force at which the tamp pad is extended and retracted. You will also
be setting various menu select items using the Hand-Held Terminal to tell the tamp
pad when to extend in order to effectively apply a label to the product and how long
the tamp pad will wait before it retracts to the home position.
Preparation
Make sure the conveyor isn’t moving and the air is turned off (OSHA shut-off valve
is in the closed position). Position the PA/4000 next to the conveyor in the
orientation used for production. Power ON the system. Press the PAUSE/RESUME
key on the Hand-Held Terminal to pause the system.
5.4.1 Configuring the Air Flow on the Air Cylinder/Tamp pad
The air flow controls
[B]
and
[C]
on the cylinder/tamp pad control the air
pressure needed to cause the tamp to extend and retract fully and with the
appropriate force. Record these final settings on the PA/4000 Configuration
Sheet attached to the PA/4000 (See Section 6). Make sure the cylinder/tamp pad
assembly is properly mounted to the extended horizontal support bar and the
tamp pad is properly positioned with the peel blade as shown in Section 4.4.2.
1. Manually retract the tamp pad.
Ensure the cylinder home switch
[A]
LED is lit when the cylinder is fully
retracted. If not, adjust the position
of the sensor by loosening the set
screws and moving the sensor up or
down until the LED comes on.
Retighten the set screws.
2. Make sure both the top (retract)
[B]
and bottom (extend)
[C]
Air Flow
Controls are turned fully
counterclockwise.
3. Place a test product on the conveyor
in the stroke path of the tamp pad
just as it will be applying in normal
production.
4. Make sure the tamp pad is parallel to
the product. Manually extend the tamp cylinder until the tamp pad contacts
the products surface. If the tamp pad is not completely parallel to the surface of
the product, retract the tamp pad slightly, loosen the yoke bolt
