  • Page 41: Key Definitions

    STOP COMPENSATION – Stop compensation is used to correct the LabelMill application head ONLY. The reaction time of the LabelMill control and label sensor is corrected. The purpose of stop compensation is to maintain label placement at the peeler plate when the label web is traveling at different speeds. An example of this is when the applicator is synchronous feeding a label onto a product on a conveyor that accelerates on start up and decelerates to a stop.
  • Page 42 LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL  ENCODER OVERRIDE – This feature is used in conjunction with ELECTRONIC GEARING. This feature is used to fine-tune the ratio of the applicator to the product conveyor.  TRIGGER DIST – TRIGGER DISTANCE is used in conjunction with the encoder feature. Trigger distance is similar to product delay in that it is used to electronically move the placement of the label on the product.

  • Page 43: Setup Of Key Features

    LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL SETUP OF KEY FEATURES  START COMP DIST – START COMPENSATION DISTANCE 1. Set basic applicator up first, refer to quick setup 2. Set up STOP COMP DIST, refer to STOP COMPENSATION DISTANCE setup 3.
  • Page 44 LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL  LABEL STOP POSITION LABEL STOP POSITION is used to electronically move the stop position of the label on the applicator ONLY. The setup below describes how to use the LABEL STOP POSITION in ASYNCHRONOUS operation ONLY.
  • Page 45 CALCULATING ENCODER LINES PER INCH (gearing) There are two basic concepts utilized to interface the product ENCODER to the LabelMill control. One method utilizes a wheel mounted directly to an encoder. This wheel rests on the belt surface and rotates when the belt moves.
  • Page 46 LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL  TRIGGER DIST – TRIGGER DISTANCE TRIGGER DISTANCE is used in conjunction with the encoder feature. Trigger distance is similar to product delay in that it is used to electronically move the placement of the label on the product. When the encoder feature is used, the product delay feature is rendered inactive.
  • Page 47 LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL  BROKEN WEB BROKEN WEB feature is used to detect the breakage of the label web. Note this feature will not work with clear labels. The label sensor detects the broken web by comparing the difference in the opacity of the label liner to NO label liner.
  • Page 48 LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL  MANUAL-SET GAP MANUAL-SET GAP is used to manually set the label sensor to the label stock that is webbed in the applicator. This step is automatically taken care of in the AUTO SETUP mode covered in QUICK SETUP chapter. If the values the applicator calculated are in question, the following will allow manual calibration of the label.

  • Page 51 LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL HOW TO APPLY MULTIPLE LABELS TO A SINGLE PRODUCT  WHEN UTILIZING A ENCODER This section will explain how to apply more than one label to a single product with a single start signal. TRIGGER DISTANCE will move the label placement in inches (00.00) for the FIRST LABEL.
  • Page 52 LM1510 Servo Drive Label Applicator USER’S MANUAL  WHEN NOT UTILIZING A ENCODER Product delay is similar to trigger distance in that it is used to electronically move the placement of the FIRST label on the product. Product delay will move the label placement in time (00.000). Because the product delay feature utilizes time, the speed of the product MUST be constant and consistent.
