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 machine is available in a right- or a left-hand version. The expression right or left is related to the direction of product transport. In the following, a right hand machine is explained. For the left-hand version all explanations have to be mirrored. The dispensing mechanics of the machine are shown below.

The label material is unwound from roller (003). The maximum diameter of the label roll is 300 mm. The maximum width is 100 mm. The material roll is guided by two removable plate’s (002).

The guide plate in front has to be pressed against the label roll. Behind the cap (004) of unwind mandrel (003) an adjustment screw for the brake is located. The unwind brake avoids after run of the label roll when the label drive stops.

Note: For labels longer than 100 mm and in "side labelling applications" it is recommended to use the optional available kit dancer arm controlled unwind brake. This device avoids uncontrolled after run of label material. The brake should not be fixed too tight, otherwise the motor may stall or the material web gets broken.

The dancer arm (011) keeps the material tight and the acceleration forces low. The deviator roller (008) makes sure that the material is guided correctly. The material is guided to the dispensing edge via the deviator roller (009).

The brush (006) keeps the material tight without disturbing the movement. At the dispensing edge (010) the label sensor (007) is mounted. The label sensor detects the gaps between labels. The label sensor comprises of a light source and a light receiver. The sensitivity can be adjusted by the operators panel.
