C220 / C300 / C400 Introduction Introduction 1.1 General Instructions Important information and instructions in this document are designated as follows: DANGER identifies an extraordinarily great and immediate danger which could lead to serious injury or even death. WARNING identifies a possible danger could lead to serious bodily injury or even death if sufficient precautions are not taken.
Introduction C220 / C300 / C400 1.2 General Safety Instructions WARNING! Danger of injury by inadvertent move out of the cylinder. Disconnect the printer from the power supply before mounting the applicator. Connect the compressed air only after mounting the applicator to the printer.
C220 / C300 / C400 Introduction 1.3 Safety Labels 1 = Cylinder is under pressure Residual energy also possible when switched off 2 = Risk of crushing due to the movement of the pad Figure 1 CAUTION! There is a risk of injury due to the movement of the pad downwards and back up again.
Product Description C220 / C300 / C400 2.2 Sensors Sensor labelling The contact of the pad onto the product or the reaching of the release position position is detected by a Hall-sensor. For which purpose the displacement of the adapter bolt in relation to the sensor is used.
C220 / C300 / C400 Product Description 2.3 Pneumatic Cylinder A cylinder with stroke of 220-400 mm is used for the transport of labels between the peel-off edge of the printer and the labelling position. The movement of cylinder is controlled by a control valve on the valve block.
