2. Description

CAUTION! - The machine is connected to mains. Only authorised personnel may open the cover. Operation without this cover is not allowed.

This chapter explains the structure and the function of the labeller. The expressions used are explained here.

2.1 Mechanics

The labeller is available in a right-hand or a left-hand version. The expression right or left is related to the direction of product transport.

The material is unwound from the label roll (3). The maximum diameter of the label roll is 300

mm.The width of the backing paper is 155mm for a 330 and 230mm for a 430 machine. The label roll is guided by a swing away lever (4).

The dancer arm (011) keeps the material tight and the acceleration forces low. The deviator roller (8) allows the use of inside or outside wound label web. The deviator roller (9) guides the material to the dispensing edge. Paper brake brush (6) applies a brake force to the label web and keeps the label web under a certain tension without disturbing the movement. At the dispensing edge (10) the label sensor (15) is mounted. It detects the gap between the labels. The sensor includes a light source and a light receiver. The software can adjust the sensitivity. With this information, the machine calculates the position of the label. At the dispensing edge

(10)the label is separated from the backing paper and moved to the product. With a foam roller

(16)in front of the dispensing edge, the label is applied to the product.

The deviator rolls (5) guides the backing material to the drive roller (1).

The drive roller (1) moves the label web according to the adjusted dispensing speed.

The pressure roll (12) has to be positioned in the centre of the label web, in order to guide the web straight on track. By means of the knurled screws, the pressure roller is held in its required lateral position on the shaft.

With its handle the pressure roller (12) will be opened and closed. When inserting the material the pressure roller has to be opened.

The deviator roller (17) guides the backing paper to the rewind mandrel (13). The rewind mandrel should always be set to expanded position when mounting a new roll of labels. This allows an easy removal of the collected backing material.

To ensure a reliable run of the label web the guides (18) have to be adjusted according to the width of the labels in use.
