Dispense speed __________________________________________________VELO

The speed value VELO displays the dispensing speed in 0.1 m/min. The product conveyor speed has to be constant to assure accurate labelling. A change of the product speed causes a different position of the label on the product. In case of inaccurate labelling, it should be verified, if the speed of the dispenser and your product match together. This is done automatically if the optional automatic speed follower (APSF) is installed.

If the machine is equipped with an applicator, two parameters in the standard menu can be changed. The delay time which specifies the moment when the applicator must put the label onto the product and the blow time - how long the applying of the label should take.

Start delay_______________________________________________________STAD

By the aid of the parameter STAD the period of time between the recognition by the product sensor and the dispensing of the label onto the product is determined. The time units are ms, the time is adjusted by the keys FUNCTION.

Blow on time____________________________________________________ BLOW

The labelling time BLOW indicates, for how long the applicator should apply the label onto the product. This time is displayed in ms also. BLOW is equivalent to APT2, which is found in the extended menu.

Product menu____________________________________________________ PD0n

This menu can be used for storing data for different labels and products. 15 different sets of product data can be programmed.
