4.1 ACTIVATION AND SHUT-DOWN

ALS

380

Unwind unit

– A loop forms in the loop space as a buffer between

the unwind unit and label dispensing [31arrow].

– A photoelectric sensor in the loop space monitors

the loop.

– If the loop becomes too large, the control system au-

tomatically lowers the unwinding speed. The dis-

pensing speed does not change.

– The dancer arm [31A] swings approximately into the

centre position.

Rewind unit

– The multiple deflections with the spring-loaded

dancer arm act as a buffer between the label output

and the rewind unit. During synchronous operation,

the dancer arm is approximately in the centre

position [31B].

– If necessary, the control system automatically slows

the rewinding speed. The dispensing speed is not

affected by this.

4.1.3 Stop/end the label dispensing

➔ Press the ENTER key.

– The unwind unit, dispenser drive, and rewinding unit

shut down.

– “OFF” appears on the operator panel [32].
