    1. Loosen screws (3). 2. Use the adjusting tool (6) included (cab serial No.: 5972857) as shown in the picture to adjust the suction plates. 3. Slide each suction plate (4) over the corresponding driving pin (2) to the adjusting tool (6).

  • Page 18: Adjusting The Pad

    Adjustments Adjusting the Pad For the perfect application of labels it is necessary that the pad is placed precisely above the dispensed label. Aligning the pad parallel to the dispensing plate. The edge of the pad should be positioned parallel to the dispensing plate of the printer in order to position the label exactly on the pad.

  • Page 21: Setting The Application Height

    Adjustments Setting the Application height The following steps explain the labeling procedure. The label is printed, transported to the dispensing plate and taken up by the applicator. The applicator assembly group, with the two piece pad (3), drives to the application position where the stopper (5) brakes the motion of the assembly group.

  • Page 22: Adjusting The Vacuum

    Adjustments Adjusting the Vacuum Via the negative pressure the label is fixed to the applicator. This vacuum needs to be strong enough to hold the label and cover all suction apertures. It may not be strong enough to hinder the transport of the from the printer to the applicator. This is dependent on the label material used. The default value of the vacuum is -0.6 bar. Note! By adjusting the vacuum it is possible to prevent the label from being applied to the product.

  • Page 23: Adjustments To The Blowpipe (Supporting Air)

    Adjustments Adjustments to the Blowpipe (Supporting Air) For optimal support during the acquisition of the label of the applicator the supporting air is to be set up so that it is free of turbulence and evenly pushes the label against the pad. The default air pressure value is set to 2 bar.
  • Page 24 Adjustments Measuring point (MP S) for Supporting Air. With a Manometer that is capable of measuring pressures ranging from -7 to 7 bar the effective pressures can be measured. MP S: Support air (desired default value 2 bar) 1. Remove the cover and interpose the manometer at the MP S .

  • Page 27: Setting Of The End Position Dampener

    Adjustments 6.10 Setting of the End Position Dampener Note! The end position dampening of the lifting cylinders are set to clients specification by default and will normally not need to be adjusted. The end position dampening of the cylinder z is for relief of mechanical strain particularly at higher speeds or when using a larger mass. The end position dampening is best set up so the piston reaches both ends securely but does not impact anything harshly.

  • Page 28: Configuring The Printer

    Configuring the Printer The method of use of the applicator can be modified by altering the parameter settings. The most important setting is the choice between the mode "stamp" and "blow." Besides that the applicator has different sequences of printing and applying labels in a labeling cycle. The flag applicator will activate in the mode of operation Blow pursued around all necessary parameters and to be able to modify.

Parameter Meaning Default > Applicator Configuration parameter of the applicator > Mode of oper. Setting of the mode Stamp or Blow Blow > Mode Print-apply Selection of the type of cyclic operation: Print-apply The start signal prints a label and applies it to a product. After the cycle the pad waits at the starting position without a label.

  • Page 30: Adjustments To The Dispensing Offset

    Configuring the Printer Adjustments to the Dispensing Offset There are two separate methods to optimize label acquisition from the printer. This is achieved by adjusting the offsets. Attention!  Optimize the label offset configuration first.  Subsequently adjust the label offset via the software. This method is particularly important for a problem-free start and inserting new material and dealing with error messages.
