1Safety advices

1.1Important warnings

Before installing and operating the Collamat 8600 read following safety

instructions.

The Collamat 8600 labeler is exclusively determinated for labelling goods. It must ex-

clusively be controlled and driven by a monitor C8600.

The installation of a Collamat 8600 has to be done by a trained specialist. For this you

have to consider the national specific regulations of

prevention of accidents

mechanical stability

construction of electrical and mechanical systems

noise suppression

Take notice to the technical data of the Collamat 8600. Especially the environment

conditions must be observed.

The operation of the Collamat 8600 must be done by trained personnel.

In case of non-authorized modification, guarantee will fall.

Before connecting non-standard products, ask your competent technical supporter.

1.2Danger indications

The safety symbols and danger advices on the Collamat 8600 and in this manual must

strictly be observed.

Before connecting or disconnecting the labeler to or from the monitor C8600 the moni-

tor must be switched off.

The monitor and the distribution box may only be opened by authorized personnel.

Before opening the distribution box, the monitor must be separated from the mains

power.

It exists danger of pinching hair, jewelry, ties, clothes etc. into the traction unit.

It exists danger of injury by cutting fingers in the area of the paper web.

It exists danger of injury in the area of the dancers of the rewinder and unwinder of the

Collamat 8600.

It exists danger of injury in the area of the paper stockcontroller of the Collamat 8600.

To operate on the Collamat 8600 the operating personnel must keep to a safely place

to prevent injury by the products being labeled.

2Introduction

2.1General informations

This technical handbook describes the construction and the function of the Collamat 8600. In ad-

dition to the operating instructions, it contains the necessary tips and adjustments to get optimum

use of the Collamat 8600. The descriptions of each electrical or mechanical device also helps for

quick error analysis and error elimination.

We recommend you to replace the complete electronic boards. Return it to HM Collamat AG or to

its representative for repair. You can then feel sure, that the high quality standard of the Collamat

8600 can also be guaranteed after a repair.

Special characteristics of the Collamat 8600:

resistant to wear, no clutch/brake-system

robust, stable

easy installation and operation due to the modular construction

simple to operate due to the menu operated software

quick change-over to other labelling tasks

high performance

high reliability

latest SMD-technology

high precision 3-phase steppermotor

2.2The Monitor

The power supply and the controller electronics are built into a stable metallic case. All peripheral

modules are connected to a connector box which is connected to the backpanel of the monitor by

one single D-sub-connector. A well dimensioned heatsink allows the operating of the monitor with-

out additional fans. The monitor may be mounted in various positions.

The monitor contains following parts:

Noisefilter with voltage selector

The noisefilter keeps RMI outside, so it may not interfere with the controller electronics. It also

prevents outgoing RMI to the mains supply. The voltage selector allows versatile adaptation of

the powersupply to different mains voltages.

Transformator

This component gives the energy for all the components of the Collamat 8600

Interfaceboard

The interfaceboard connects the motordriver to the power supply and to the controller. It con-

tains also all the electronics of the power supply. The interfaceboardshapes all the input- and

outputsignals to and from the controller.

5999.545-01G 13.06.2007 WM Page 6/ 64

Motordriver

The 3-phase motordriver is a standard component of a leading motor and motordriver manu-

facturer. The driver gives the power to the steppermotor. The step-rate may be adjusted from

200 up to 1000 steps per revolution. Standard in the Collamat 8600 are 500 steps per

revolution.

Controllerboard

It is built up with a Hitachi H8/532 microcontroller, EPROM with firmware, LC-Display and flat-

panel keyboard. The controllerboard controls all the labelling sequences, the LC-Display, the

keyboard and the nonvolatile memory.

The LC-Display has four lines with 20 characters each and a backlight illumination. The con-

trollerboard is the frontpanel and the controller in one part.

2.3The Firmware

The firmware of the Collamat 8600 has following features:

Modern human interface

6 digits preselect and goods counter

Adjustable suppression of the label scanner signal in relation to the label length to detect

transparent or preprinted labels

Adjustable signal suppression of the goods scanner in relation to the goods speed and length

after labelling

Programmable adjustment of the labelling position on the goods

Programmable adjustment of the predispensing

Multiple labelling functions with adjustable distance of the gap between the labels

Automatic capture of the labelling speed by measuring the transportation speed of the goods

with speed measuring photocells or incremental encoder

20 program memories

Protection of the memories by password access

Two user levels

Supervision of the labelstock and out of label, end of paperweb, not closed pinchroller in the

traction unit, motordriver OK-signal

Nonstop mode with two Collamat 8600 systems

Multilingual user display

Automatic label scanner adjustment

Full operation of all to labelling important parameters while labelling

Full control to all peripheral assemblies by keyboard - no potentiometers and switches

necessary

2.4The Dispenser

The traction unit as well as the other peripheral units are mounted on a modular rail. All surfaces

of the units are treated against water and they are corrosion resistant. The coating of the traction

unit is specially treated to avoid slippage on the paperweb while labelling. The force of the paper-

brake is adjustable. The tractionroller turns free while power off for easy threading and installation

of the paperweb.

5999.545-01G 13.06.2007 WM Page 7/ 64

3The Collamat 8600 Labeller

The installation of the Collamat 8600 must be done by a trained personnel. For this you have to

consider the national specific regulations of

prevention of accidents

noise suppression

mechanical stability

construction of electrical and mechanical systems

3.1Prevention of accidents

While installing and connecting the monitor and the dispenser C8600 together keep care that the

signalcables and powercables can't become obstacles. The cables must be placed and installed

according to the national safety requirements. Keep care that the signalcables are not placed be-

neath powercables.

3.2Noise suppression

The dispenser and monitor C8600 are shielded according to the CE directives. Only cables that

are certificated by HM Collamat AG may be used for connecting the monitor with the dispenser

and the mains power. Additional peripheral assemblies must be connected to the auxiliary mains

outlet of the monitor. These assemblies must be certificated by HM Collamat AG.

3.3Mechanical stability

If the Collamat 8600 is used on a movable stand, this stand must be capable to be tilt 10° in each

direction. See also following figure 1:

4Assemblies

In the following description the assemblies of the Collamat, their adjustment and maintenance are

described. First an overall view of the dispenser.

The assembly parts are mounted and placed on a modular rail. Following figure 2 shows these

assembly parts with their names on the modular rail:
