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. Slide the pins (3) into the holes of pad (4) by lifting the pad to pad holder (1). 2. Fix the pad with the screws (2) to the pad holder (1). 3. Insert the vacuum tube (5) and the blowing air tube (6) into the appropriate push-in-fittings (7,8) of the pad.
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 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! Use an appropriate blow tube for the printer in use.

Adjustments Fig. 19 Throttle valve "support air" The air pressure can be adjusted with the "support air" valve (1) to fine tune the procedure. To increase the supporting air turn counterclockwise the screw at the valve (1) Measuring Point Support Air (MP S) Use a manometer with a measurement range of -7 to 7 bar to control 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 to the product over a distance up to 10 mm.
Adjustments Lift Speed of Cylinder Z Fig. 22 Throttle valves on 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 counterclockwise the screw (4) at the lower valve (3). ...

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 mass. 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.
One-way flow control valve on cylinder Y Fig. 29 Note! Only for type 4114 relevant. Adjust lift speed as necessary. To increase the move-out speed in Y-direction turn counterclockwise the screw (2) on valve (1) . To increase the move-in speed in Y-direction turn counterclockwise the screw (3) on valve (4) .
Adjustments 7.11 Labeling from below - Changing the Spring at 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 within the printer setup. The most important setting is the selection between the operation modes "Stamp on" and "Blow on". Additionally the applicator has different application modes concerning the order of printing and applying within one labelling cycle Stamp on...

Parameter Meaning Default Configuration parameters of the applicator Applicator > Mode of Setting the operation mode Stamp on, Roll on, Blow on Stamp oper. > Mode of Setting the application mode Print-Apply/Apply-Print Print- appl. Apply Print-Apply: An external start signal begins the printing of a label followed by the application of that label.
Configuration Setting the Peel Position To optimize the transfer of the labels from the printer to the pad there two different parameters are available for adjusting the peel position. Attention! First adjust the parameter "Peel Position" in the printer configuration. Following 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.
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. 34 Test mode using the enter button Note! ...
