PRODUCT DELAY
PRODUCT DELAY is NOT used in conjunction with the encoder feature. Product delay is similar to trigger distance in that
it is used to electronically move the placement of the label on the product. Product delay will move the label placement in
time (00.000). Because the product delay feature utilizes time, the speed of the product MUST be constant and
consistent.
1. Set basic applicator up first, refer to quick setup
2. Ensure that applicator is operating properly before starting this procedure.
3. Set Product delay to 00.000
4. Start system and apply label at the desired speed.
5. Check the placement of the label on the product.
6. Measure the OFFSET of the label placement. Note: A label CAN NOT be advanced on the product ONLY moved
“back” since the applicator can only delay the product signal.
7. Apply a small delay to the product delay or if too great, it may be necessary to physically move the product switch.
Keep product delays to a minimum for best results.
8. Operate system again and measure offset.
9. Apply a small delay to the product delay or reduce if too much.
10. Test again, repeat if necessary until label is in proper registration.
11. Turn back on any options that may have been disabled for setup of this particular feature
HOW TO APPLY MULTIPLE LABELS TO A SINGLE PRODUCT
Product delay is used to electronically move the placement of the
FIRST
label on the product. Product delay will move the
label placement in time (00.000). Because the product delay feature utilizes time, the speed of the product MUST be
constant and consistent. This section will explain how to apply more than one label to a single product with a single start
signal. MULTIPLE FEED will allow you to select how many labels to be applied.
1. Set basic applicator up first, refer to quick setup
2. Ensure that applicator is operating properly before starting this procedure.
3. Set Product delay to 00.000
4. Start system and apply label at the desired speed.
5. Check the placement of the label on the product.
6. Measure the OFFSET of the label placement. Note: A label CAN NOT be advanced on the product ONLY moved
“back” since the applicator can only delay the product signal.
7. Apply a small delay to the product delay or if too great, it may be necessary to physically move the product switch.
Keep product delays to a minimum for best results.
8. Operate system again and measure offset.
9. Apply a small delay to the product delay or reduce if too much.
10. Test again; repeat if necessary until label is in proper registration.
11. Go to
MULTIPLE FEED
in PRODUCT SENSOR menu and set the number of labels to be applied to the product.
12. Set the Distance between each label entering a time (0.000) into
“INTERVAL DELAY”
13. Test the placement of the labels and adjust as necessary. Note: The spacing between each label will be equal. With
this feature the space between labels
cannot
be set individually.
14. Note:
TRAILING EDGE TRIGGER
will NOT work with this feature!
15. Note: Product speed fluctuations can effect label placement.
16. Turn back on any options that may have been disabled for setup of this particular feature.
