Label stop position

Requirement: label pitch must be set

The next label to be dispensed is waiting in the label

stop position. It is advantageous for the label to pro-

trude a little over the dispensing edge [81].

The ALX 73x is preset for use with the label

sensor included with delivery. If this light sensor

is used, the setting of the label stop position

needs to be corrected only slightly at most.

To correct the pre-setting:

1. Open LABEL SETUP > Lab. stop offset.

2. Increase the value to increase the overhang or de-

crease the value to decrease the overhang.

CAUTION!

Mind the following setting rules to avoid a

strong decrease of dispensing accuracy:

 At maximum dispensing speed set the

Lab. stop offset to at least 10 mm!

 Don´t set Lab. stop offset to the same value

as LABEL SETUP > Label pitch (also not to a

multiple of the value).

 Don´t set Lab. stop offset to „0“.

 Set Lab. stop offset so that the label sensor

stands on top of the label as far as possible

away from the label edge, when the label

web stops.

a) General rule: The setting must at least equal the „brake distance“

of the label web until it stops. For high speed, this value is higher

than for low speed.

Setting Effect

19 mm

a) 19 mm = Distance [81B] between label sensor and dispensing

edge (with fixed L-shape dispensing edge).

The label stops flush with the dispen-

sing edge.

(19 mm + x) The label stops with x mm overhang.
