Purpose and overview of the operating instructions
These operating instructions will help you get to know the system Geset 125 and use it
properly.
They contain important instructions for the user on how to use the system safely and
correctly. Its consideration helps to:
Avoid hazards,
Minimize repair costs and outages and
Increase the reliability and service life of the machine.
The operating instructions are for the system identified in the title with the stated type
number.
The operating instructions must always be available wherever the system is used. They
must be read and used by everyone assigned to work with the system.
Printing mistakes, errors, and changes to maintain the state-of-the-art may occur.
Illustrations without protection devices may be presented for the sake of illustration.
How to use the operating instructions
Detailed explanations are offered below of the conventions for the text and illustrations
which are used in this manual.
Buttons, switches and pushbuttons that need to be pressed are placed in brackets.
Ex.: Press the [Start] button to accept the changes...
Menu points and links to chapters and keywords are placed in “…“
Ex.: The pushbutton “Turning plate infeed/outfeed passage“…
Procedures that need to be performed in a fixed sequence have to be numbered.
Step Procedure
1 Pull the power plug...
Special information is in bold and/or has a gray background
This is an example of special information!
All figures (Fig.) are numbered sequentially for each chapter. This means that the
reference "Fig. 2-1" corresponds to the first figure in chapter 2.
Illustrations are frequently shown with only the essential information and may
therefore deviate from the original. Illustrations are therefore shown without covers
or protection device for the sake of clarity.
Illustrations limit itself partly to the depiction of one variant (e. g. only RH, only LH,
or only [System1]…). It is particularly valid for example figures if the information
content is transferred logically to other system versions.

Explanations of the terms used
Term Explanation
Application cycle Complete operating sequence of the labeling system (such as
printing the label, peeling it off, transferring it to the applicator and
labeling the product).
Application mode Depending on labeler’s equipment, different application modes
can be applied. See explanations: Tamp on, tamp blow, blow on
and wipe on.
Approval drawing Customization of a series system is approved by the customer via
a drawing of Bluhm-Weber Group. This approval drawing also
includes individual performance data of the machine.
Automatic mode See labeling operation
Base conveyor See also “conveying system”. The base conveyor transports the
products that should be labeled.
Blow-On Contact-less application mode in which the tamp receives the
printed label by a vacuum and blows it onto the product without
the tamp moving.
Conveying system The unit consisting of the conveyor belt and its control.
CS Abbreviation for conveying system (see above).
Dancer arm The arm that holds the label liner taught by spring tension.
Default All basis settings for the system after it is made that can differ
from the status after the system is started up. The software
parameters can be returned to the defaults by being reset, and
any changed values are lost.
Default See factory-setting.
Gauge See “Service unit“
Gimbal adjustment The gimbal adjustment is used to align the longitudinal and lateral
inclination of the labeling system and thus the peeler bar to
product. The peeler plate has to be aligned parallel to product.
HMI Abbreviation for Human-Machine-Interface, input unit for a
labeling system or a controller of components.
Hotline Customer support for a fast diagnosis by phone.
HPU The abbreviation of Height Processing Unit: A device that is
driven by a motor or pneumatically to move a labeler vertically.
This feature enables different labeling positions in vertical
direction.
Infeed The products are fed manually or by a conveying system
provided by the customer at infeed passage of the labeling
station.
Label feed Feeding of a label by the labeler. The fed label is printed on within
the print engine and peeled off at the peeler bar.
Label gap Distance between two labels at the label web. The gap is
detected by a (label) sensor of the applicator.
Label liner Siliconized liner material where single labels stick onto.
Label out An optical sensor (reflective light sensor) for detecting the end of
the labels
Label sensor An optical sensor that determines the gap between the labels

Version: 30.07.14 Page 9 of 57 GB
Term Explanation
Label size Dictates the label format: Width x length (in the direction of feed
of the label liner measured in millimeters [mm]).
Labeling system Dispensing system for automatically applying labels
Labeling operation This is the same as automatic mode. The labeling system is
ready to print and dispense labels.
Labeling system The labeling system is used to label products automatically and
consists of several components (assembly groups), e.g. conveyor
belt, labeling system.
LED The abbreviation of light-emitting diode
Low label prewarning Low
label warning An optical sensor (reflective light sensor) for detection of an
(adjustable) minimum label roll diameter to provide a warning
Opacity The transparency of a material can be measured by a light barrier
and is named opacity. The measuring sets the quantity of the
radiated light in proportion to the incoming light. The lower the
proportion, the lower is the opacity.
Outfeed The outfeed forwards the products to the customer’s conveying
system. Here the products are removed.
Peeler plate Metal plate about which the label is peeled off.
PLC Programmable logic controller.
Poti/potentiometer Changeable resistor (controller) for the analog control of labeling
system settings (such as the timing of the tamp movement in
relation to the rotary position of the potentiometer).
Product detector A sensor for detecting the product. Most frequently, optical
sensors are used (photocells, light barriers, reflective sensors).
PSI American unit of measure for compressed air.
(1 PSI = 0.06895 bar).
Pusher Roller Pushes the label onto the product strongly sticking.
RFID This abbreviation stands for radio frequency identification. This
technology is used to identify products so that they can be
tracked using smart labels (see RFID label ).
RFID label The RFID label or also called Smart label is a particular label that
has a transponder onto which data can be written or read via
radio. The identification of products labeled in this way is possible
contactless by an antenna.
Service unit This unit consists of:
A gauge for displaying the compression of
the compressed air (in bar)
Quick action stop valve
Water trap for manually draining any
condensate
Start sensor See also “Product detector”. The start sensor scans the leading
edge of the product. As soon as a product is detected, the
labeling procedure starts. The label position on the product is
adjusted by the sensor position.
Touchscreen Touch-controlled screen or monitor
Trigger signal The signal from the sensor or PLC which is used to activate
application.
VAC Alternating voltage
