• The device applicator mounted on a cab printer of the Hermes+ series is intended exclusively for applying suitable materials that have been approved by the manufacturer. Any other use or use going beyond this shall be regarded as improper use.
Introduction • In operation, moving parts are easily accessible. This applies especially for the zone, where the pad is moved between the starting and the labelling position. During operation do not reach into that zone and keep long hair, loose clothes, and jewelry distant. Before any manipulations in those areas, close the shutoff valve.
Product Description Important Features • The supporting air and the vacuum as well as the speed of the cylinder are adjustable. That way the applicator can be adapted to different label materials and sizes. • To avoid contamination within the vacuum channels they are cleaned by air pressure impulse at the end of each application.

Operation Fig. 7 Mounting the applicator to the printer Attention! Initiation, adjustments and changing of parts is to be performed by qualified service personal only. „1.3 Safety Instructions“ Attention! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator! Ensure a stable placement of the printer! 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 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 Attention! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator! Ensure a stable positioning of the printer! Connect the compressed air only after mounting the applicator to the printer! 1. Hang the applicator to the printer via the female hinges (1) to the male hinges (2) of the printer.
Installation Mounting the Pad 1. Insert the two pins (9) on the pad (10) into the holes on the bottom of the pad holder (6). 2. Fix the pad (10) with the screws (4) to the pad holder (6). 3. Insert the vacuum tube (2) and the support air tube (3) into the appropriate push-in-fittings (7, 8) of the pad.
3 Open the stop valve (2) by turning it into the direction of air flow. 4 Switch on the printer by 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-direction 1 mm Fig. 14 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 Blow Tube and Support Air Adjustments 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 Measuring point (MP S) of the Supporting Air Use a manometer with a measuring range of -7 to 7 bar to measure the pressure. MP S: Supporting Air (reference value 2 Bar) 1. Dismount cover and connect the manometer to the MP S.
Adjustments Adjusting the Product Sensor The product sensor detects the labelling position of the pad in relation to the product. The adjustment of the product sensor is dependant on the operation mode - blow on. The detection distance of the sensor is 5 - 200 mm from the bottom edge of the sensor. Note! To apply the label correctly onto the product the distance be between pad and product may exceed 10 mm.
Adjustments Lift Speed of Cylinder Z Fig. 23 Throttle valves of cylinder Z The movement speed of the pad can be regulated via 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 End Position Dampening Note! The end position dampening of the lifting cylinder is set to the clients specifications and, under normal circumstances, do not need to be adjusted. The end position dampening reduces mechanical strain, especially when the device operates at higher speeds and with larger masses and thus impact energy. The dampening should be set up in such a way that both ends of the cylinders motion are reached securely but with as little force as possible.
Configuration The applicator can be operated in different ways. While the original process stays the same, the operation mode can be chosen from within the printer setup. The most important setting is the selection between the operation modes "Stamp on" and "Blow on". For the applicator 4614/16 the operation mode "Blow on"...

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. Following this order is important for a problem free initiation after loading material and when treating errors.
