TAMP OR BLOW WITH AN ENCODER
Determine the following and select it in the software
1. Type of application mode. (Tamp, or Blow) (refer to above)
2. Tamp or blow before or after feed (before feed is standard)
3. Enter a value in the tamp duration (start with 00.200)
4. Turn encoder ON
5. Encoder OVERRIDE is used to fine tune the GEARING RATIO between applicator and conveyor
6. Trigger distance is used to “MOVE” label on product (product delay is disabled)
7. Enter a Start Comp value. START Comp is used to compensate for label drift when speed of conveyor
changes. To calculate this refer to the section on “Start Compensation”
8. ENC LINES/INCH enter the proper “lines per inch” to match encoder output to conveyor speed. To calculate
“lines per inch”, refer to the section on Gearing.
HOW TO SET UP FEATURES UTILIZING AN ENCODER
•
START COMP DIST – START COMPENSATION DISTANCE
1. Set basic applicator up first, refer to quick setup
2. Set ENCODER to “ON”.
3. Set TRIGGER DIST to 00.00
4. Set ENCODER LINES PER INCH (refer to ENC LINES set up)
5. Start system and apply label at the fastest desired speed. (system should not exceed maximum rate of
applicator)
6. Move product switch or use TRIGGER DIST to register label to desired position. Keep trigger distance to a
minimum for best results.
7. Change speed of system and operate it at the lowest speed desired.
8. Measure the offset in label placement.
9. Enter the measured offset into the START COMP DIST.
10. Operate system at the same low speed again and check label offset.
11. Make the necessary adjustments to the START COMP DIST.
12. Test again, repeat if necessary until label is in proper registration.
13. System should now hold registration throughout speed range.
14. Turn back on any options that may have been disabled for setup of this particular feature.
Note there will be some label drift if speed range is too great or top speed is out of range of applicator. There is
also the normal placement tolerance that will affect the accuracy of the system.
