Label stop position
Setting with LABEL SETUP > Lab. stop offset.
CAUTION!
Mind the following setting rules to avoid a
strong decrease of dispensing accuracy:
At maximum dispensing speed set the
Lab. stop offset to at least the following
value
a
:
Don´t set Lab. stop offset to the same
value as LABEL SETUP > Label pitch (also not
to a multiple of the value).
Don´t set Lab. stop offset to „0“.
Set Lab. stop offset so that the label sensor
stands on top of the label as far as
possible away from the label edge, when
the label web stops.
a) General rule: The setting must at least equal the „brake distance“ of the
label web until it stops. For high speed, this value is higher than for low speed.
Prerequisites:
– The label length must be specified.
