Operational Components

Tamp Application:

The label is dispensed off of
the liner onto a tamp pad and
held in place with a Venturi
vacuum. When the product
is detected, the tamp cylinder
is driven to the product with
air and the label is applied by
pressure of the tamp pad to
the product surface.
(For general part names and
location please refer to the
section that contains parts

location and identification)
The Tamp Module is comprised of the tamp mounting block which holds the cylinder and
guide rods and allows the module to be bolted to the face plate. (see figure 4-2) The
guide rods ensure the cylinder travels true in the vertical direction. Four bolts hold the
block to the face plate. (see figure 0-3) Air hoses connect the solenoid valve to the
cylinder in the appropriate places
to direct the cylinder to extend or
retract when required. The
pressure can be adjusted using
flow control valves. An air hose is
also connected to the top of the
tamp pad assembly (see ref # 5,
figure 4 –5). This hose is used to
draw a vacuum in the chamber of
the tamp pad mounting block (ref
# 2, figure 4-4).
This vacuum causes the label to
lay flat against the pad (ref # 3,
figure 4-5) and immobile until such
time as the tamp pad makes
contact with the product.
