4.2.3 Dispensing speed (VELO)
As a rule, the labelling speed must correspond to the
product speed. Depending on the operating conditions,
the labelling speed can also be set somewhat higher in
unique cases.
Prerequisites:
– The label stop position (STOD) is correctly set.
➔ In the standard menu, press the NEXT [43A] or
PRIOR [43B] key until VELO [44] is displayed on
the operator panel.
➔ Call up the VELO function by pressing the
ENTER [43C] key.
– The current speed is displayed on the operator pan-
el in m/min.
➔ Change the labelling speed using the NEXT or PRI-
OR key.
– Settings are permitted in steps of 0.1 m/min:
Minimum: 0.5 m/min
Maximum: 80 m/min (ALS 380 HS: to 100 m/min)
– Confirm the setting using the ENTER key and exit
the VELO function.
Test the setting:
➔ Remove the pressure roller unit (optional) at the dis-
pensing edge.
➔ Start the system and only label one product.
– The labelling speed is too low if the product pulls the
label away from the backing material.
– The labelling speed is too high if the label on the
product has folds in it.
Automatic dispensing speed (optional)
If the automatic dispensing speed (APSF) is activated:
– Only display of the current speed using the VELO
function.
– Manual setting of the dispensing speed is not possi-
ble.
– For further information on the APSF function, see
chapter Operation - Automatic dispensing speed.
