6. Optional Accessories

6.1 Low Label Sensor

The low label sensor mounts to the Unwind Assembly and connects to the interface
board. The sensor provides advance notification that the label supply will soon run out.
This indication is displayed with the optional three-stage beacon and/or through the
optional system status output connection.

6.2 Three Stage Beacon

The three-stage beacon provides visual indications for "Fault condition", "Low
condition", and "All systems OK" machine conditions.

6.3 System Status Output

The system status output provides an interface with external devices or controls. The
status of specific printer/applicator conditions can be monitored through the provided
connection.

6.4 TS Series Mounting System

The TS series mounting system provides the components to allow the applicator to mount
in virtually any application. A variety of modular components, including T-bases, H-
bases, floor plates and adjustment components provide the flexibility to meet most
mounting requirements.

6.5 Tamp Module

A tamp module allows a direct contact method for applying labels to products or
packages. See the Tampjet Upgrade for a non-contact option. A label is fed onto the
tamp pad and held in place by means of an adjustable vacuum. As the object to be
labeled passes by, the tamp pad is extended to apply the label to the object. The tamp pad
then retracts and the cycle is repeated for the next object. The tamp module is available
in 2", 4", 6", and 8" stroke lengths. The vacuum tamp pad is machined specific to a label
size which requires a different pad for each label size to be run on the applicator.
Specific application requirements may require the use of another type of tamp module.

6.6 Heavy Duty Tamp Module

A heavy duty tamp module, while operationally identical to the standard tamp module,
may be needed in some applications. Larger diameter guide rods and bearings combined
with a stabilizer clamp characterize this module. Stroke lengths over 10" require the use
of the heavy duty tamp module. In addition, some application positions, such as "reels
up", will benefit from the added strength and rigidity of a heavy duty unit to ensure
correct label placement.
