LABELER TYPE SETUP PROCEDURE

TAMP SLIDE

The tamp slide is used to move the label pad and manifold toward the product. The speed at which it

travels is a function of air pressure and airflow. The valve and regulator for the tamp assembly is part of

the valve bank mounted to the side of the applicator. Typically, the air pressure should be set between 40

and 50 PSI but it may be changed as necessary. Two adjustment knobs are provided on the air cylinder to

adjust the tamp extend and retract times. Turning the knobs clockwise will slow the movement of the

cylinder. Turning the knobs counter-clockwise will speed up the cylinder.

The tamp extend and retract times must be setup by the operator since they are dependent on the setting of

the adjustment knobs. Both timers are in the “LABEL SETUP” section of the display.

EXTEND TIME: 1. The tamp extend time is the time necessary to fully extend the tamp slide

assembly. After the tamp extend time expires, an air blast forces the label off of

the label pad onto the product. In order to keep cycle times to a minimum, set the

extend time so that the air blast occurs when the slide reaches the fully extended

position.

2. To change the extend time press “LABEL SETUP” on the display. Pick “TAMP

EXTEND” and enter a value between .001-5 seconds.

3. A valid tamp extend entry will send you back to the label setup menu.

4. Press “HOME” to return to the main menu.

RETRACT TIME: 1. The tamp retract time is the time necessary to fully retract the tamp slide assembly.

At the end of the “tamp retract” time a label will be fed out onto the pad. Too

small of a value will cause a label to feed out before the label pad is in the home

position. Too high of a value will cause long cycle times.

2. To change the retract time, press “LABEL SETUP” on the display. Pick “TAMP

RETRACT” and enter a value between .001-5 seconds.

3. A valid tamp retract entry will send you back to the label setup menu.

4. Press “HOME” to return to the main menu.

NOTE: If tamp switches are used, it is only necessary to set both tamp extend & retract times to a

value higher than the time required. The tamp switches will override any excess time.
