Glossary
Adhesive String:
Label adhesive that adheres to the label and the label liner while the label is dispensing. It can
cause the label to be improperly positioned on the tamp pad.
Air Assist:
The stream of air that the air assist tube directs at the label in order to help it come off of the
label liner as it is dispensing.
Air Assist Pressure Gauge:
A gauge that indicates the air pressure that is being applied to the air assist tube.
Air Assist Tube:
A small tube located at the end of the peeler bar that directs a stream of air at the label in order
to help it break free from the label liner as it is dispensing.
Air Blow Mode:
An applicator configuration in which the label is held on a stationary vacuum grid and applied
with air pressure.
Backing:
Backing or backing paper is a siliconed paper which carries the labels.
bar :
A measure of air pressure >> 1 bar = 14.7 PSI (see PSIG)
Carrier Tape
See backing or label liner
Continuous:
Products are not required in order to trigger a label application. Completion of label ejection
triggers label application.
Cycle Time:
The amount of time that it takes the machine to perform a complete machine sequence, starting
from the detection of the product.
Edge Detection:
The edge (front or back) of a product or label that will cause the detector to send a detection
signal.
Ganged Configuration:
A way to wire grouped applicators.
Inverted Tamp Blow:
Mode in which the tamp remains in the extended position until an apply signal is received. Upon
receipt of an apply signal, the air blast applies the label. The tamp retracts to receive the next
label and then returns to the extended position. Although Inverted Tamp Blow mode is
somewhat more accurate, its use should be restricted to situations in which the tamp doesn’t
have to retract to avoid hitting the product or conveying device.

Installation
If the applicator is installed on a machine stand, it must be able to support at least 30 Kg and
have a base that is large enough to prevent the machine from tipping over.
When positioning the machine consider the following placement criteria:
oThe machine should be positioned the appropriate distance from the product for proper
labeling based on the machine type (wipe on, tamp on, tamp blow, or, Air Blow).
oThe retracted tamp, if tamp is used, should not touch any part of the product as it passes
through the machine.
oThe position of the machine should allow the operator to easily change labels and
ribbon, and reach the controller keypad.
oMake sure that all the adjustment locks have been tightened after the machine has been
correctly assembled and positioned.

Applications Modes
The ALPHA V40 applies labels onto a moving or stopped product. Depending on applicator
version there are different application modes. They can be selected via display controller.
Wipe-On-Mode (Standard)
In the Wipe-On version the labels are peeled off from the carrier, and applied to the product
by precise stepping motor.
Only moving products can be labelled.
Label feed speed and Product speed have to be identical or have to be adjusted to each
other (see the explanation on page 61).
Tamp-Blow-Mode (Option)
With the Tamp-Blow version, the dispending tamp extends over a linear system to the
product by a pneumatic drive. The label is blow onto a moving or stationary product, with no
physical contact.
The Tamp-Blow-Mode is frequently used since mode of operation offers the following
advantages:
Both stopped and moving products can be labelled.
The wear danger is low, because the product is labelled contactlessly.
Tamp-On-Mode (Option)
The Tamp-On applicator is spring-mounted and presses the label onto the surface of a
slowly-moving or stopped product.
Only slowly-moving or stationary products can be labelled.
Preferred used: Difficult surfaces, for example saw timber/wood.
Blow-On-Mode (Option)
In the case of Blow-Box design the label is blown straight onto the stationary or passing
product.
Both stopped and moving products can be labelled.
The wear danger is low, because the product is labelled contactlessly.
With the exception of the Wipe-On mode, it is possible to trigger the dispending procedure only,
at every ALPHA V40.
In this case the label is ejected under tamp pad or grid of blow box and the label applicator
"waits" for the start signal to apply the label. So it is possible to separate the label feed from
applying, using an additional product sensor (Secondary Sensor).
