Adjusting the LA-BO to the used label material
The following adjustments have to be made every time the label format is
changed on the ALX 92x or ALS 20x/256.
Adjusting the sliding bars in the vacuum grid
Because the blow-on applicator needs to create a strong air flow, evenly
spread over the label surface, it is important to adjust the sliding bars of the
vacuum grid. This is done by sliding them in or out until the opening in the
vacuum grid matches the label size of a dispensed label. Once this setting is
done, the sliding bars will close off the air nozzles which are positioned out-
side the label area.
[Fig. 13]
The sliding bars in the vacuum grid must be adjusted to close off
air nozzles outside the label surface.
1. Adjust the bars of the vacuum grid enough outside so a label can be dis-
pensed freely on the vacuum grid without touching any of the knobs on the
bars (A).
2. Dispense a single label on the vacuum grid of the applicator. The label
should not touch any of the knobs on the adjusting bars. If the label is not
dispensed straight on the grid or still sticks with the trailing edge on the dis-
penser, please check the height adjustment of the dispenser in relation to
the vacuum grid.
