The Label Applicator
Thank you for purchasing a label applicator. The applicator will meet the
needs of the single label, the stand alone applications or the integration
into an inline product handling system.
The applicator's patented head design has one of the lowest drive inertias
in the industry. This means less wear and more accuracy and repeatabil‑
ity.
The following are some of the features of the label applicator:
aRapidcongurationandchangeoverofapplicatormodules.
aAccommodates a 15" (381mm) supply roll diameter to minimize down
time for reloading.
aLabelheadisconvertedfromleft‑handtoright‑handjustiedwithout
any additional parts.
aGear powered label drive and torque clutch adjustable rewind.
aOne button auto‑teach for fast, easy, repeatable changeover.
aSpeed matching of label and product.
aEasy access to main components for maintenance and changeover.
The label applicator is offered as a stand‑alone unit or as a module
which can be integrated into a product handling system. In either case,
the applicator includes a controller, operator LCD interface and product
detector.

Warnings and Conditions
Turn Off Power! Before servicing, make sure you have turned off the
compressed air and electrical power in a way which prevents accidental
reactivation. Padlock and clearly tag the appropriate electrical and pneu‑
matic disconnects. Wait at least two (2) minutes after disconnecting the
electrical power to discharge the motor start capacitor before performing
any electrical servicing with the rear cover removed.
Dress Appropriately! Reduce the risk of injury from moving parts by
securing loose sleeves and other clothing. Do not wear loose jewelry or
neckties near the machine.Wear safety glasses or other protective eyewear
at all times. Never place hands or tools near the tamp, corner wrap, print
head, or any other movable parts when the machine is operating.
Install Safety Covers! Make sure the machine remains safe to operate.
Be sure all safety covers have been installed before operating this ma‑
chine. Safety covers include any covers installed by your direct supplier,
as well as the main cover and the print engine cover. Each helps protect
the operator from potential pinch points and moving parts.
Avoid Pinch Points! Exposed pinch points include the unwind and take
up assemblies, air tamp, and corner wrap modules. Pinch points exposed
when the main cover is removed include the dual clutch assemblies.
Avoid Dangerous Conditions! The standard labeler should not be placed
in washdown environments. Dry conditions are critical for long life.
Normal operator inherently causes static electricity to build up. Avoid
explosive or potentially explosive environments.

This chapter covers unpacking, inspection, positioning and power hookups
for the label applicator.
Unpacking and Inspection
Step 1. Check the Shipping Container. The shipping container protects the ap‑
plicator under most circumstances. Visually inspect the outside of the
shipping container. Report any crate or equipment damage to the ship‑
ping carrier immediately.
The Applicator can weigh in excess of 150 lbs (68kg).
Step 2. Unpack the Applicator. Remove the top and sides of the shipping crate
to expose the Applicator. Remove the packing material. Inventory the
container.
Applicator Positioning
The standard mounting procedure uses the two mounting holes that are
located on each side of the applicator. The optional U‑arm supports the
applicator at those mounting locations. The mounting holes are tapped
to M12 x 60.
Positioning of the labeler may vary if an application module was pur-
chased with your unit.

The labeler must be positioned so that labels are applied to the product
with the proper orientation. Once the correct orientation is obtained,
the labeler is ready to be placed into position. The product and labeling
surface should be parallel with each other at point of contact. (Refer to
Figure 3‑1.)

Rotation adjustment of the wiper arm and peeler tip (refer to Figure 3‑2)
shouldbemadetolocatetheagofthelabelasclosetotheproductas
possible. The peeler tip should be located just above the product. A ref‑
erenceof0˚(zerodegrees)fromtheproductissuggestedonthewiper
arm. Then, rotate the peeler tip as needed.
Note: Theagofthelabelistheamountoflabelprotrudingpastthepeeler
tip.
Placing the peeler tip in the path of the product may cause damage to
the applicator.
The applicator needs to be mounted in such a way that there is mini-
mum vibration and rotation, or else the accuracy of the labeling may
be compromised. It is also suggested that ne tuning adjustments be
made after mounting.

U-Arm & T-Stand If a T‑stand and/or U‑arm is purchased with your unit, refer to Figures
3‑3 and 3‑4 for proper positioning.
To pivot the applicator up or down, loosen the large hex nut which fastens
the U‑arm to the T‑stand. This allows the unit to rotate the peeler tip up
or down. Tighten the same nut to secure the applicator's position. (Refer
to Figure 3‑4.)
The applicator may also be positioned for top, side, or bottom panel
labeling. Loosen the two large socket head bolts that fasten the U‑arm
to the labeler. Rotate the applicator into a position where the application
module is parallel to the surface of the product to be labeled.

Use the handle at the top of the T‑stand to raise or lower the applicator to
the desired height relative to the product. (Refer again to Figure 3‑4.)
To change the horizontal position of the unit, simply unlock the casters
on the bottom of the T‑stand and roll the unit to the desired location. Lock
the casters down once in position.

Remote Electrical Enclosure /Interface Panel
Connections for the interface panel are found on the remote electrical
enclosure (see to Figure 3‑5.) These connections are easily accessible
for quick changeover between modes of operation. The following is an

OPERATOR INTERFACE: Plug in which the Operator Panel
is connected. Cycling power is required when connected or
disconnected.
ENCODER: Plug in which an optional encoder is connected. The
encoder is used for synchronous mode labeling, which can apply
the label at the speed the product is traveling. It is recommended
to use an incremental encoder with at least 1024 increments.
LOW LABEL SENSOR: Plug in which the low label sensor is
connected. The low label sensor is found behind the unwind
assembly wheel.
PRODUCT SENSOR: Plug in which the product sensor is
connected.
LABEL SENSOR: Plug in which the label sensor is connected.
The label sensor is found on the wiper arm assembly.
DISCONNECT SWITCH:
Allows the operator to
complete disconnect power
to the labeler, or connect
power. Turn ON to connect
power; Turn to OFF to
disconnect power.
