Page 22: Maximum Speed
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 automatically to this value. -
Page 23: Multiple Labelling Mode
Multiple labelling mode (only ® 9100) Collamat 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 labelling mode, first the quantity and then the distance 2 between the labels has to be entered. -
Page 24: Delayed Predispensing
Delayed Predispensing In the Delayed Predispensing mode the predispensing 1 will only be tripped after re- lease of the label 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 25: Profiling
Profiling (only ® 9100) Collamat The Profiling function is used, when a good with uneven surface should be labelled continuously. The dispensing speed is constant when labelling with even surface. The speed has to be varied during labelling of goods with not even surface, so the label can be sticked on without folds. -

Page 38: Technical Appendix
TECHNICAL APPENDIX 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. Adjust it so, that the label is sticked to the goods at the time, when it has the same speed as the goods. -
Page 39: Adjusting The Label Position
C 9 1 0 0 Labelling speed [m/min] ® Diagram of label position vs. labelling speed (only Collamat 9100) Four encoder steps are required at least when measuring the speed with the incremental encoder to calculate the actual speed. That means, that the minimum possible position is four times the encoder step length. -
Page 40: Adjusting The Profiling
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 ar- ched goods to stick on the label without folds. The Profiling can be adjusted in a broad range to label different good shapes. -
Page 41: Error Messages
Error messages If during operation an error occurs, this will be indicated on the LCD by an error mes- sage. Each error 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. All events causing an error message stop the labeller or only a warning message appears. -
Page 42: Error Diagnosis
Error diagnosis In the service part of the error sequence menu, all errors and warnings will be registe- red and indicated. 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. The error history also helps the technical operator in case of inquiries. - Page 43 Error #5 Label stock Error #6 Rewinder full Cause: The label stock of the unwinder is empty or the rewinding disk of the rewinder is full. Solution: Replace empty paper roll or remove backing paper roll from rewinder disk. Error #7 LSC-adjustment Cause: Adjustment of label scanner not possible.
- Page 44 Error #10 Counter LSC Cause: When braking the label, a gap was detected during predispensing. This happens in the case of transparent or very reflective labels. Solution: Adjustment of suppression of label scanner Optimizing the positioning of label scanner Optimizing the label scanner sensitivity Error #11 Drive not ready Cause: The motor drive card indicates that it is not ready to drive the stepper motor.
