LABELER TYPE SETUP PROCEDURE

TAMP APPLICATOR SETUP

The tamp applicator consists of a tamp slide, label manifold, and a label pad. The label is fed out onto the

label pad and is tamped within 1/8” of the labeling surface. The label is then blown off by an air blast. The

tamp applicator has higher placement accuracy and is less dependent on product movement.

NOTE: Before proceeding, make sure you’ve selected tamp under “APPLICATOR TYPE” on the

display. Choose one of the following two types of tamping action.

NORMAL TAMP: A label feeds out onto the label pad and the labeler will wait for a product detect

signal to tamp and apply the label. After applying the label, the tamp pad returns

home to receive another label.

ITB TAMP: A label feeds out onto the label pad and tamps. The tamp will wait for a product

detect signal before applying the label and returning home to receive another label.

1. With the tamp slide extended make sure the label pad is approx. 1/8” from the product.

2. Go through “general setup” procedure (i.e. label sensor, web speed, etc.)

TAMP PEEL EDGE ALIGNMENT

1. Turn the power on, move the tamp assembly up and make sure the applicator is offline.

2. Advance the web using the drive roller. Stop when half of the label is off the peel edge tip. The

label should be at an angle between 5 and 15 degrees from the label pad surface. The stiffer the

label, the flatter the angle.

3. To adjust the peel edge, loosen the two 1/4 S.H.C.S. screws on the peel edge faceplate and move

the assembly close to the tamp pad. Allow some clearance distance between the peel edge and

tamp assembly.

4. Repeat step #2 to check label angle. Re-adjust if needed.

5. If OK go to label stop.
