2. Pull label web under the rst roller, threw the photo eye (21). Continue pulling the label web over the top
of the next roller. As the webbing is wrapped around the peel edge, take care to go between the bottom of
the peel edge and the top of the air assist tube. (Do not cover the air assist tube with the webbing).
3. Pull web back and wrap under the drive roller (35), and up between the drive roller (35) and pinch
roller (24), then back down to the waist wind sha (47). Note: e pinch roller (26) is spring loaded.
Slight pressure will be needed to separate the pinch roller from the drive roller for threading.

TAMP HEAD PLACEMENT
1. e tamp head placement is crucial for consistent label application.
2. e vertical gap between the top of peel plate and bottom of the tamp pad
should range from 0”-1/32”. If not loosen the nut at the base of the tamp
cylinder rod (Shown with red arrow A), and unthread to lower the tamp
pad or screw in the rod to raise the tamp pad height.
3. e horizontal gap between the top of peel plate and the edge of the tamp
pad should range from 0”-1/32”. If not loosen the horizontal mounting
bolts and align to the acceptable range.
ASSIST TUBE PLACEMENT
1. e air assist tube is used to assist the label out
onto the vacuum pad. As a rule of thumb the
blast patter from this tube should be directed
at a 30° angle onto the vacuum pad. is angle
may vary due to several factors, as a result
dierent blast angles may have to be
experimented with.
LABEL SETUP
TAL-3100T
e label advance potentiometer resides on top of the TAL-3100T electrical housing. e purpose is to
adjust the stopping position of the label with respect to the peel plate. With the label advance pot turned
all the way counterclockwise the photo eye will stop the applicator instantly when it senses a gap. By
rotating the potentiometer toward the + the applicator will dispense more of the label, and by rotating
the potentiometer toward the – the applicator will dispense less of the label.
1. To setup the label position, rotate the label advance pot to the – as far as it will rotate.
2. e goal is to have the applicator stop with a label gap right at the peel edge.
3. Activate the applicator and watch the dispensing label. If the label does not advance far enough
turn the label advance pot to the +, and repeat until one label is completely dispensed and the
next label is stopped at the peel edge.
TAL-3100T
TAMP HEAD SPEED
1. To adjust the speed of the tamp head going down to apply the label, turn the ow control (44A) clockwise
to slow it down and counterclockwise to speed it up.
2. To adjust the speed of the tamp head returning to the ready position, turn the ow control (44B)
counterclockwise to make the tamp head travel faster and clockwise to slow down.
