ASSEMBLY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT SPEEDS OF LABEL DELIVERY AND PRODUCT BE MATCHED FOR SATISFACTORY PLACEMENT AND WIPE DOWN OF LABEL.
If label is tending to walk up or down on container, label applier may be rotated to position peeler bar in parallel with container, so that label is started on container accurately, by loosening large hex nut on swiveling bracket that applier is secured to and located on sliding sleeve on post. Rotate applier by turning knurled knob at swivel point. NOTE: In making this adjustment, be sure that rotating the applier does not cause the peeler bar to be forced into contact with top of conveyor. Raise applier to prevent this, then lower into position after adjustment is made. Re- test by passing one container through the system and noting the label placement. If still off, re- adjust as above until the optimum position is found.
It has been noted many times that during a labeling run that label placement may vary slightly. This is most often the result of
1.Slight tapers from top to bottom in the containers not visible to the eye.
2.Bottoms and sides of the containers not square, again not detectable visually.
Variations in containers as small as .005 inch can result in visual
Suggestions for improvements in the design of our equipment is solicited and appreciated.
