INTRODUCTION
The CTM Integration 360 Series Modular Labeling System is a high-speed applicator used to apply
pressure sensitive labels to moving products on a production line. It is essentially a self-contained module
that may be mounted in almost any position to apply labels to the top, bottom, or sides of packages as they
pass by on a production line.
The CTM Integration 360 Series Modular Labeling System is unique in that the main module can be
adapted to three different types of applicators: Air Blow, Merge, or Tamp by changing the nose assembly.
The symmetrical design of the applicator allows labels to be dispensed to the right or left side of the
machine. The applicator type and configuration (either left or right -handed) will depend on the type of
product to be labeled and the arrangement of the production line.
If your application needs change in the future, a different nose assembly may be purchased but the main
module would remain the same. There is no need to purchase a completely new applicator. The CTM
Integration 360 Series Modular Labeling System can be easily changed over to a different nose by simply
removing the existing nose from the module and replacing it with a different nose.
You can also change the configuration (right-hand or left-hand) by simply moving the applicator nose from
one side of the machine to the other. All the parts are interchangeable. Everything you need is already
included with each applicator nose to make the change using your existing module.
The labels should be supplied on a liner web with a minimum label gap of 1/8”. The applicator will accept
and dispense labels from rolls up to 20” O.D. In a typical setup, the applicator detects the leading edge of a
package and applies a label with placement accuracy typically within +/- 1/32 inch.
For safe trouble free operation of the applicator, carefully follow the instructions in this manual during
setup, operation, label roll changes, cleaning, and maintenance. The applicator is designed to operate
under the following environmental conditions:
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY: 108 - 132 Volts, 5 Amps, 50 - 60 Hertz, Single Phase
A three-meter long, three wire cable with 16 AWG (1.00mm
) conductors
rated at 10 amperes (in accordance with CENELEC HD-21) is provided for
the electrical connection to the IEC 320 receptacle of the applicator. The end
of the power cord is terminated with a NEMA5-15 plug.
