Page 19: Adjustments
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 23: Set Throttle Valves On The Cylinders
Set Throttle Valves on the Cylinders Exhaust throttle valves are installed on the cylinders of the applicator. The valves control the movement of the cylinders in the direction of the valves. move in direction move out direction of the piston of the piston Fig. -
Page 24: Vacuum Adjustments
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. -
Page 25: Adjusting The Blow Tube (Supporting Air)
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"... - Page 26 Adjustments Fig. 25 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 Support Air (MP S) Use a manometer with a measuring range of -7 to 7 bar to measure the pressure.

Page 30: End Position Cushioning
Adjustments 6.10 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. -

Page 33: Labeling From Below - Changing The Spring Of The Impact Sensor
Adjustments 6.15 Labeling from Below - Changing the Spring of the Impact Sensor For fault free labeling in a side- 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. -
Page 34: Configuration
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" and "Blow on". Additionally the applicator has different application modes concerning the order of printing and applying within one labelling cycle. -

Page 36: Setting The Peel Position
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. -
