3.3 Label guide

On some of the axles, they’re guiding clamps. Adjust the clamps near the machine so all have the same distance to the front plate (31.5mm). The outer clamps should be mounted that the guide but not bend the label material.

The front of the V-dispensing edge has a rot, which can be adjusted for straighten the material guiding. Spend several labels by pressing the dispenser FEED key. If the material guiding is running out of the guiding way, adjust the rot by loosing two screws at the dispensing edge. With a L-dispensing the adjustment is done by move the tail sheaves behind the dispensing edge.

3.4 Adjust dispense function

For an operation without any trouble and high label accuracy, tree adjustments are required:

•Label position on the dispensing edge: stop position

•Dispense speed

•Label position on the product

The adjustment should be done in the same order, because parameter like the stop position depends on the setting of the stop position and the dispensing speed.

3.4.1Stop position

The first step is to adjust the stop position. This is the basic adjustment of the dispense process. Also in case of problems with the machine check if the stop position is okay.

Figure 6 Stop position

The stop position should be adjusted so that the label stops at the dispensing edge up to 3 mm behind.

For a correct operation of the automatic label compensation, they will compensate a missing label on the web, first the distance between label sensor and dispensing edge has to be defined. Do this by calling the DIST function in the configuration menu. Check the setting by removing a label before the label sensor from the web. Give a start signal to the machine by triggering the start sensor (not the FEED key) and see if the compensation is done on the right position. Do the fine adjustment with the STOD function.
