Explanation of technical terms
Technical Term Explanation
3-roll system Is used for label around of rouns products.
Adhesive Strings Leaked adhesive at the label edge may adhere the label at
the label liner. The printed label adheres to the liner and can
thus not be fed to the Tamp.
Air Assist A stream of air pushing against the bottom of the Tamp/blow
box during label feed until label is fixed by vacuum.
Air Assist Tube The air assist tube directs air assist by one or more drillings
to the bottom side of the label. It is mounted in the section of
the peeler bar and can be adjusted.
Air Blast The streams of air effusing from the Tamp drill holes during
labeling in order to blow the label by air pressure onto the
product (blow box by tube nozzles).
Application Mode see explanations: Tamp On, Tamp Blow, Blow On.
Applicator Description for label applicator respectively mimic that moves
the Tamp.
Applying Cycle An entire working sequence of the labeler ((e.g. print label if
applicable), peeling off the label and feeding the label to the
applicator up to product labeling).
Blow-On A contact free application mode in which the Tamp takes the
printed label by a stationary vacuum grid and applies with air
pressure without moving the Tamp.
Cycle Sequence of a labeling procedure, from product detection to
product labeling until the Tamp arrives in home position.
Default See factory setting.
Dancer Arm Arm, tensing the label web via spring tension.
Display Display providing information on status for the user.
Display-Controller Controller with integrated display for text information (s. Dis-
play) and key panel for operation and programming.
Edge Detection The edge (front or back) of a product or label that will cause
the detector to send a detection signal.
Factory Setting
Comprises all basic adjustments of the system after manufac-
turing which may differ from the condition after a system set-
up. Software parameters are reset by a reset to the factory
setting (default values) and formerly adjusted values are lost.
HMI Abbreviation for Human-Labeling Station-Interface, input de-
vice for a labeling station or for a controller of components.

Label Feed Feeding of a label. By pressing the [Feed] key of the print
engine, the drive motor is activated and transport of the label
web is started (dancer arm loosens the unwinder brake
band). The fed label is printed on within the print engine and
peeled off at the peeler bar.
Label Gap Gap between two labels on the label web. The gap is identi-
fied by a sensor on the applicator.
Labeling Station The labeling station is used for automatic labeling of products
and consists of several parts (assembly groups), e.g. 3-roll
system, labeler.
Label Liner Siliconized liner paper that the labels are affixed to before
they are applied to the product.
Label Out An optical sensor (reflective light sensor) for identifying the
end of the label.
Label Sensor An optical sensor for identifying the label gap.
Labeler Applicator system to apply labels automatically.
Labeling operation Normal operating conditions. The labeler is ready to print and
apply labels.

Low Label Warning An optical sensor (reflective light sensor) for identifying a
preset minimum of the (adjusted) label roll diameter for a
warning.
Mandrel A driven axis with a device for fixing the label web. The man-
drel serves for unwinding the label web.
Opacity The transparency of a material is measured by a light barrier,
and is referred to as opacity. When measuring the amount of
light emitted by the incoming will be taken into consideration.
The lower the ratio the lower the opacity.
Poti / Potentiometer Changeable resistance (regulator) for analog regulation of
adjustments at the labeler (e.g. time performance of the
Tamp movement depending on the rotational position of the
potentiometer).
Product-Sensor
(Product Detector)
A sensor for detection of the product. Mostly, optical sensors
are used (photocells, light barriers or reflective sensors)
PSI The American measure of air pressure (Pounds per Square
Inch Gauge). 1 bar = 14.7 PSI.
Re- and Unwinder See re- resp. unwinder.
Rewinder Roll holder (normally for 3 inch cardboard cores) for rewind-
ing the label web. The rewinder winds up the web coming
from the print engine. It is triggered by a dancer arm (see
dancer arm). Rewinders are powered by a motor.
Stroke Distance which the retracted Tamp covers towards the prod-
uct.

Danger of injury from corners and edges.
RISK OF INJURY!
Scrapes and cuts can result from sharp edges and pointed cor-
ners. Always keep the work area clean. The label web forms
sharp edges.
Observe caution when working close to sharp edges and point-
ed corners. Remove unnecessary objects.
- In case of doubt, wear protective gloves.
- Be careful when inserting and exchanging the label web
Labeler (motor) and controller have to be grounded.The used
plug socket has to provide an effective protective conductor.
Short circuits against the cover influence the internal direct-
current voltage in a negative way (chassis on 0V potential) and
should be avoided.
Protection devices
Operate the system only if all safety- and protection devices are completely available and
functional. Check the protection devices for its function:
¥At first operation.
¥At regular routine test.
¥After exchange of security-relevant components and parts.
If deficiencies occur during operation at the protection devices, stop the system immedi-
ately and remedy the deficiencies! Do not change or remove any protection devices. Do
not take the protection devices out of operation by any change.
Protection devices may only be removed when the system is stopped and safeguarded
against re-starting of the system (e.g. padlock at main switch, disconnect power plug from
power connection). If subcomponents are supplied, the protection devices have to be in-
stalled according to the regulations by the operator.
Main switch
