5.14.3 Setting the Tamp Motion
The tamp motion is controlled by three factors; air pressure, dwell time and flow controls.
The air pressure adjustment procedure is covered in the Setting the Pressure section. The
tamp dwell adjustment can be found in the section under Tamp Dwell. The third setting,
speed, is adjusted by the flow controls. One flow control is located at each end of the
tamp cylinder. Using a flat blade screwdriver, adjust the flow control screw to change
the speed of the tamp motion. Turning the screw clockwise will slow the motion;
counterclockwise will speed up the motion. The upper flow control, with the black tube,
controls the return speed of the cylinder. The lower flow control, with the grey tube,
controls the extend speed of the cylinder.
The speeds should be set such that the cylinder operates smoothly and does
not bang excessively at either end.
Setting the retract speed slower than the extend speed can cause timing
issues and the next label will begin feeding before the tamp pad is fully
retracted and in the feed position. Always set the retract speed the same or
slightly faster than the extend speed.
