General information
Special characteristics of the Collamat®9100 system:
Technical advanced design with ability to adapt to future developments in the control
system and driving technology
High performance labelling accuracy even with maximum dispensing speed and pro-
duct speed fluctuation
Resistant to wear, no clutch/brake system
Rugged construction for application in the industry
Easy handling due to modular construction
Secure, due to a simple design and operational monitoring system
Free of services, rugged and a fail-safe monitor
Monitor controllable through control signals from outside
Simple to adjust, modern menu guided operating
Easily moved between product lines with simple fitting and setting up times
Storage for 20 labelling programs
The modular system allows the addition of the peripheral appliances on a module rail.
The complete electronic operating and electronic control system for the traction unit are
installed into a modern, elegant box. The connection to the particular peripheral
appliances takes place through a connection box on the module rail. An essential ad-
vantage is the expandability of the system without extra expenditure in the basic system
itself. A micro-processed electronic system, a multiple line LCD and a neatly arranged
keyboard grant a comfortable operating of the Collamat®9100. All parts are surface
treated or made of rust resistant material. The traction unit is specially coated in order
to avoid slippage of the paper during the turning moment. The un- and rewinder, which
are equipped with an own driving motor, are provided with a electronic controlled tur-
ning moment.
The Labeler C9100
The traction unit as well as the other peripheral units are mounted on a modular rail.
The force of the paperbrake is adjustable. The tractionroller turns free while power off
for easy threading and installation of the paperweb.
The installation of the Collamat®9100 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

Thread up of the labels
The labeller may only be opened by trained personnel. It contains no
parts to be handled by the operator.
The labeller contains live parts. Hazard of contact due to high voltages
of the assemblies.
The paper web will be pulled from the unwinder 2over the dancer of unwinder to the
traction unit. It will be conducted under the paper brake and pulled to the flap adapter 3
right to the dispensing edge. Now the paper web should be pulled up approx. 1mover
the dispensing edge, so that the importation backward through the flap adapter into the
traction unit would be easier. After that the paper web must be pulled through the
traction unit 1around the dancer of the rewinder up to the rewinder 4and clamped on
the rewinder core.
Before labelling, the complete paper web must be stretched to avoid label errors.

Adjustment of the dancer
Spring force
The spring force has to be fixed in a way, that the backforce is not stronger than the
dancer 2 needs to turn back itself.
Adjustment of the spring force
Dismantle the housing 3 (not available at the midi-unwinder). For the adjustment push
permanent the knob 1 and turn it up to the desired spring force. Then leave the knob,
so that it remains at the new position. Reassemble the housing.

Adjustment of the dancer
The adjustment of the dancer has to be done by trained personnel during the installati-
on of the system res. during the mounting of the Collamat®9100 (see technical
handbook).
A wrong adjustment leads to a lack of capacity and lack of accuracy.

Mechanical label scanner
For difficult labels (e.g. translucent blank PVC-labels or translucent labels with light per-
meability print) it is preferable to use the mechanical label scanner. The mechanical
scanner is mounted on the same fixation.
Only applicable on fix flap adapter and on scanning holder. This one
will be mounted separately on the module rail.
Adjustment
Mount the label scanner on the fixation. Connect the inductive proximity switch with the
LSC in the signal distribution box on the module rail. Pull up the label web as far as the
label gap will be directly under the scanning roll, then release the screw 5and turn the
inductive proximity switch 1until it is active (LED is lighting). Now pull on the label web
by hand until the scanning strap 2, res.. the scanning roll rolls on the label. Now the in-
ductive proximity switch should be passive (LED off). For safety reason turn the inducti-
ve proximity switch 1/4-turn and repeat the adjustment. Then tighten the screw 5.

Positioning of the CS mechanical goods scanning
Switch on the control system. At the transmitter 1the LED shows red. Displace the
receiver 2, which is found opposite to the transmitter, until both red LED on the receiver
are no more illuminated. For an exact labelling the goods scanning should be mounted
very near of the dispensing edge. An exact positioning of the label on the goods takes
place by input of the position value on the monitor (see operating Collamat®9100). If
you increase this value the label will displace back on the goods.

Minimal goods distance
The minimal distance between the goods is treated differently for the speed measuring
with measuring scanner or incremental encoder.
For the measuring scanner the following figure is valid:
d = Distance between GSC1 and GSC2
x = d + 2 mm
For the speed measuring with the encoder the following figure is valid:
x = Label length + Gap + Position
When:
Gap =Distance of the labels on the paperweb
Position =Position setting of the goods scanner (minimum 10 mm)
The labelling speed with encoder follows the goods speed down to zero. The labelling is
finished after the goods have started to move again. The labeler can be stopped while
the goods are stopped with the RUN/STOP key.

Servicing
The Collamat®9100 is free of servicing. But please note, that the appliance has to be
cleaned according on working, especially the paper dust, adhesive remainders and
colour remainders of the printing group.
It is very important to clean the paper brake and the label scanner. After each cleaning,
all paper guiding elements like rolls (exceptional the traction unit), axles and dispensing
edge, have to be sprayed with a silicon spray.
Dependent to the wear of the pinchroller it must be replaced. The description of the
exchange is written in the technical handbook of the Collamat®9100.
