The adjustment can be aborted by depressing the ESC key.
  • Page 22 5.4 Label suppression (suppression of label scanner) This function is used to enter the length forcing the label scanner to suppress the signals from the backing paper web and the label after having detected the leading edge of the label. Entering can be aborted by the ESC key.
  • Page 23 5.6 Position The Position function is used to set a speed dependent labelling delay. This delay 2 causes a speed-independent positioning of the label 3 on the good 5 in feed direction 4. With this function it is not necessary to shift the goods scanner 1 to obtain a change of the label position on the goods. POSITION User level: programmer/operator...
  • Page 24 Operating Mode: STOP Note: The distance of 14 mm applies for the standard light barrier of Collamat Stral- fors AG. For more informations about the calculation of the speed measuring, refer to the technical handbook Collamat 8600 and 9100...
  • Page 25 5.8 Maximum Speed The Maximum Speed function limits the max. dispensing speed to the entered value. This function is necessary, if the goods speed is not stable or if labelling is problematic due to difficult label material with higher speed than usual. For labelling using speed measuring the dispensing speed is limited au- tomatically to this value.
  • Page 26 5.10.2 Multiple labelling mode In the Multiple Labelling mode, several labels are sticked on the goods 4 in the same distance 3. This mode is especially useful for labelling forms or multiple packages. After activating the multiple la- belling mode, first the quantity and then the distance 2 between the labels has to be entered. On the goods the distance 3 between the labels is composed from the entered value 2 plus the gap 1.
  • Page 27 5.10.3 Delayed Predispensing In the Delayed Predispensing mode the predispensing 1 will only be tripped after release of the la- bel scanner. Thus the following label will not be sticked on the good being still under the adapter. After having selected the Delayed Predispensing mode, the stop value 2 has to be entered so that the label is perfectly dispensed and the following label does not contact.
  • Page 28 Conditions: Multiple labelling mode and delayed predispensing mode exclude themselves mutually The position adjustment should be smaller than the goods length. If not, the second phase follows immediately the first one without waiting for the trailing edge of the goods. The minimum distance between the goods must be greater than the position value plus predispen- sing of the second labelling phase.

It is not indicated as plain text but the figures are replaced by # characters. If a password is already programmed, this must be entered before ente- ring a new password.

  • Page 35: Error Handling

    6.4 Error Handling The Collamat 8600/9100 is able to report up to 16 different errors. The way a labeler is acting after an error has taken place, depends on the function Error Handling. This function can be program- med in three different ways (for each of the 16 different errors):...
  • Page 36 6.5 Nonstop mode The Nonstop mode function allows continuous labelling with two labellers. The dispensers are con- nected together and exchange signals. There is a difference between the two dispensers. The first labeller in feed direction is the MASTER labeller and controls the second labeller called SLAVE la- beller.
  • Page 37 6.6 Adapter magnet (only Collamat 9100) The Adapter magnet function is used to switch on and off the adapter magnet. If set to ON, the ad- apter is folded towards the good for each labelling operation. The time delay to reset the magnet has to be entered in the following menu.

  • Page 42 7.3.9 Test drive The stepper motor of the traction unit and the motor driver can be tested with the Test Drive functi- on. For this test the paper web has to be removed. The speed of the stepper motor can be in- creased or reduced with the arrow keys.

  • Page 43: Technical Appendix

    8 Technical appendix 8.1 Adjusting the predispensing Predispensing is the length by which the label is pulled forward after detection of the leading edge of the label. Its value can be entered in 0.1 mm steps. The predispensing is normally used to optimize the label position.
  • Page 44 Position value [mm] C9100 Labelling speed [m/min] Diagram of label position vs. labelling speed (only Collamat 9100) Attention: Four encoder steps are required at least when measuring the speed with the in- cremental encoder to calculate the actual speed. That means, that the minimum possible position is four times the encoder step length.
  • Page 45 8.3 Adjusting the Profiling The Profiling function is used, if an uneven good has to be labelled continuously. The dispenser speed has to be varied according to a trapezoidal profile when labelling arched goods to stick on the label without folds. The Profiling can be adjusted in a broad range to label different good shapes. The ratio between the goods speed and the labelling speed, the beginning and length of action can be adjusted.

  • Page 46: Error Messages

    8.4 Error messages If during operation an error occurs, this will be indicated on the LCD by an error message. Each er- ror message has to be acknowledged by the ENTER key. If several errors occur at the same time, they have to be acknowledged one after each other.

  • Page 47: Error Diagnosis

    8.5 Error diagnosis In the service part of the error sequence menu, all errors and warnings will be registered and indica- ted. This is helpful to trace back the error history of the labeller. Thus, if an error happens frequently, it can be better identified and eliminated.
  • Page 48 Error #7 No LSC-adjust Cause: Adjustment of label scanner not possible. The scanner is defective or it is scanned on label instead of gap, or the backing paper is not transparent enough. Solution: Shift gap under label scanner and adjust it again. Possibly exchange defective scanner. Error #8 Nonstopmode Cause: One of the labellers has an error.
  • Page 49 Error #11 Drive not Ready Cause: The motor drive card indicates that it is not ready to drive the stepper motor. Solution: Switch off the monitor. Wait 10 seconds before switching on again. If the error did not disappear, the monitor is damaged and has to be repaired by a specialist. Error #12 Undervoltage Cause: During labelling a mains occurred causing the data to be backed up.
