Label pitch
Switch to offline mode
To measure label pitch automatically:
Works only up to max. 120 mm label pitch
Press and hold the key (for longer than 2 sec-
onds).
Also possible: enter the label pitch manually:
1. Measure label pitch [80C].
2. Open function LABEL SETUP > Label pitch.
3. Enter the measured value in millimetres.
Dispensing speed
The dispensing speed can be set to a fixed value or it
can automatically follow the speed of the conveyor belt
(speed adaptation). A rotary encoder must be connect-
ed for operation with speed adaptation. The rotary en-
coder measures the belt speed and transmits it to the
dispenser.
With direct dispensing (i.e. without applicator) the
dispensing speed normally corresponds to the product
speed.
Setting to a fixed value:
Set the speed in online mode with the two left keys
(see Online mode on page 38).
Or:
Open LABEL SETUP > Dispense speed and set to the re-
quired speed.
Setting to speed adaptation:
1. Set MACHINE SETUP > Speed Adaption to "Yes"
to switch on the function.
2. MACHINE SETUP > Encoder Resol. and
set MACHINE SETUP > Encoder Diameter according to
the rotary encoder you are using.
Information about suitable rotary encoders: see service
manual.
