Operation Fig. 13 Mounting the applicator to the printer Attention! Initiation, adjustments and changing of parts is to be performed by qualified service personnel only. Service Manual of the Applicator Attention! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator! Ensure the printer is in a stable position! Connect the compressed air only after mounting the applicator to the printer! To clean the applicator and printer it is sometimes necessary to turn away or even dismount the applicator from the printer.
Error Messages Error Messages of the Printer For detailed information about printer errors (e.g. 'Paper out', 'Ribbon out', etc.) Check the operator's manual of the printer. Error treatment: Clearing the error results. Press the feed key to synchronize the label feed, remove the left over labels manually. ...

Installation Mounting the Applicator to the Printer Attention! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator! Ensure the printer is standing in a stable position! Connect the compressed air only after mounting the applicator to the printer! 1.
Installation Mounting the Pad 1. Insert the pins (6) of the pad (8) into the holes on the bottom of the pad holder (7). 2. Fix the pad (8) to the pad holder (7) with the screws (1). 3. Insert the vacuum tube (2) and the air blowing tube (3) into their appropriate push-in-fittings (4 &...
When delivered, the pad assembly is mounted in the lowest position as this is suited for most pads. In case of using a larger pad (e.g. 116x102/116x152) with the applicator 4014/4016 it is necessary to change the position of the pads z-direction.
4. Switch on the printer via the power switch. It is possible to use an air pressure regulation unit. cab offers two versions of air pressure regulators. • Air pressure regulation unit with included magnetic valve (3) Controlling via printer ...
Adjustments Pad Adjustments For optimal functionality it is necessary to place the pad exactly over the label for the takeover procedure. Moving the Pad in X-, Y- and Z-Directions 1 mm Fig. 22 Moving the pad assembly Adjustment in the X-direction - Sideways Adjustment 1.
Adjustments Vacuum Adjustments The label will be held on the pad by a vacuum. The vacuum needs to be set up in such a way that the label covers all the suction holes and is not hindered before it reaches its intended position on the pad. The default Value of the Vacuum is -0.6 bar.
Adjustments Adjusting the Blow Tube (Supporting Air) The blow tube must be adjusted in such a way that the label takeover is unhindered by turbulence and the supporting air blows the label evenly against the pad. The default factory value is 2 bar. Note! When changing the label size (2", 4"...

Adjustments Fig. 27 Throttle valve "support air" The strength of the supporting air can be varied via the provided throttle valve (1). To increase the strength of the supporting air turn the throttle valve (1) counterclockwise. Measuring Point of the Supporting Air (MP S) Use a manometer with a measuring range of -7 to 7 bar to measure the pressure.
Adjustments Adjustment of the Stopper for Blow on Mode Note! For operation mode "blow on" only! The operation mode "Blow on" allows labelling without contact. The pad does not press on the product. The label will be blown from the pad onto the product over a distance of up to 10 mm.
Adjustments Lifting Speed of Cylinder Z Fig. 30 Throttle valves of the cylinder Z The speed of the pad movement can be regulated by two throttle valves (1, 3). Adjust the pad movement speed as necessary. To increase the downward speed turn the screw (4) at the lower valve (3) counterclockwise. ...
Adjustments Sensors on Cylinder Z 10 mm Fig. 31 Sensors on cylinder Z Sensor Start Position 1 1. Loosen screw (1) of sensor "Start Position" (3) and move the sensor so that the top edge of the sensor sits comfortably in the sensor holder. 2.
Adjustments End Position Cushioning Note! The end position cushioning of the cylinder is set up to client specifications and does usually not need to be adjusted. The end position cushioning of the main cylinder reduces the impact energy when the applicator is operating at high speeds and/or masses. Adjust the end position cushioning so that the piston arrives the end position definitively but does not strike it to hard. A higher level of end position cushioning will reduce the lift speed.
Adjustments Labeling from below - Changing the Spring of the Impact Sensor For fault free labeling in a sideways- or upward-motion it is necessary to change the spring of the impact sensor. The stronger spring prevents the unwanted triggering of the impact sensor due to the inertia of the cylinder and stamp assembly group.
Configuration The applicator can be operated in different ways. While the original process stays the same, the operation mode can be chosen from the printer setup. The most important setting is the selection between the operation modes "Stamp on", "Roll on" and "Blow on". Additionally the applicator has different application modes concerning the order of printing and applying within one labelling cycle.
> Hand-over up Take over the label directly from the dispensing edge with contact between pad and dispensing edge. Not applicable for Type 4014/4016 > Cleaning blow Activate/Deactivate - air pressure pulses to clean the pad > Vacuum delay On - The vacuum will switched on after the end of the label transport.
Configuration Setting the Peel Position To optimize the transfer of the labels from the printer to the pad there are two different parameters available for adjusting the peel position. Attention! First adjust the parameter "Peel Position" in the printer configuration. Then adjust the additional peel-off offset in the software. It is very important to follow that procedure for a certain start after label loading and for the re-start after error treatment.
Test Operation Test Mode without a Print Job Warning! The pad will be moved to the starting position immediately! Danger of injury to hands and fingers by the moving pad! Do not reach into the zone of the moving pad and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry away. Fig.
