Universal L60 manual Overview, Introduction

SECTION 1 OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

Featuring solid-state circuitry and an AC Synchronous Motor, the L60 is a high performance, low maintenance label applicator. The L60 applicator is designed to apply a pressure sensitive label to a product through the action of an air-cylinder-mounted, or blow-on, vacuum head. The labeling process can be automatic when interfaced with a conveyor, or semi-automatic with a table-based product fixture. When triggered, the L60 Tamp vacuum head extends to meet the product. When the air cylinder returns the vacuum head to the home position, another label is indexed onto the head and is waiting to be applied to the next product. The L60 BLOW vacuum head blows the label onto the product, and another label is indexed and ready for the next product.

Switches:

There are two switches on the front panel of the applicator. The Main switch turns the power on or off, and if a Hot Stamp Coder is used, will allow it to heat up. The Motor switch controls the motor that turns the drive roller and waste rewind. Fig 1

Product Detection:

The product can be detected on the leading or trailing edge. To change from leading to trailing edge, set switch 4 of the power module to the ON position. (See lower left of Drawing L15-D-02)

Recommended Settings:

There are many different label compositions, so there is no one set of machine settings (air pressure, etc.), which will work on all types of labels. The following recommended air regulator settings will give the operator a place to start.

Set the air cylinder pressure to about 15 psi. The vacuum pump input pressure will vary according to label density and size, which you can start at 5-10 psi. Turning the regulator knobs on the side of the machine can regulate air pressures. Fig 1
