Operational safety of the unit Proper usage Applicators of type LA-BO are additional units for NOVEXX Solutions print & apply systems or la- bellers. The applicators take self-adhesive labels from the dispenser mechanism and stick these onto moving or non-moving products. The company operating the unit must install it with suitable equipment to protect operating personnel from danger;... - Page 8 LA-BO Operating Manual WARNING! There is a low risk that you may get your hands crushed between the vacuum grid of the LA-BO and the conveyed products! Never reach between the product and the LA-BO edge while the unit is in operation or ready for operation.

AI or internal ALS 204/206/256 RH A8678 [Tab. 1] Print-and-Apply and labelling machines, to which the LA-BO can be applied (LH = lefthand, RH = righthand, AI = Applicator Interface). Use of the AI is mandatory for ALX. The Applicator Interface (AI) is not contained in the scope of delivery and has to be ordered separately with the ALX or ALS unit. -

Mode of Operation The fan in the LA-BO is continuously powered, creating a strong inwards airflow through the alu- minium vacuum grid at the bottom side. While a label is dispensed, the small blow pipe is activated, creating a small focused air stream to force the label against the aluminium grid. -

In general, to obtain a good apply accuracy of the label on the product, it is recommended to adjust the LA-BO as close as possible to the product surface. Obviously a safe distance has to be respect- ed so the conveyed products can not come in contact with the parts of the LA-BO, especially the blow pipe for air stream support. -
Page 25: Adjusting The La-Bo To The Used Label Material -26
LA-BO Operating Manual ADJUSTING THE LA-BO TO THE USED LABEL MATERIAL The following adjustments have to be made every time the label format is changed on the ALX 92x or ALS 20x/256. Adjusting the sliding bars in the vacuum grid Because the blow-on applicator needs to create a strong air flow, evenly spread over the label sur- face, it is important to adjust the sliding bars of the vacuum grid. - Page 26 LA-BO Operating Manual [6] Adjusting the bars in the vacuum grid so air nozzles outside the label surface are closed off. In most applications with a blow-on applicator, it will be difficult to visually verify the position of the sliding bars from the bottom side of the vacuum grid. Therefore, the bars can also be adjusted by matching the section of the bars outside the vacuum grid to the label surface, as shown on [7].

To achieve optimal labelling apply accuracy it is important to adjust the blow-off air flow in the center of the label under the vacuum grid. Therefore the air nozzles of the LA-BO can be fine adjusted in the X (width) and Y (length) direction in reference to the label area. -
Page 28: Adjusting The Air Stream Support -29
The air holes in the blow pipe should be directed to the vacuum grid. Setting the dispensing position parameter When using the LA-BO applicator the dispensing stop position should be set so that the label is just released when dispensed, i.e. so that it no longer adheres to the carrier material. -

[11]. The valve has 2 electrical coils and therefore 3 positions. If both coils are not activated, the LA-BO is in a stand-by status and no air pressure is used. If the upper coil is activated, the valve switches the air flow to blow off the label from the vacuum grid. If the lower coil is activated, the valve switches the airflow to the blow pipe which functions as a support air-stream to guide the label against the vacuum grid during dispensing of the label. - Page 31 Novexx Solutions GmbH Ohmstraße 3 85386 Eching Germany +49-8165-925-0 www.novexx.com...
