adjustments of tab positioning on the product. The peel point can also be adjusted up and
down and laterally for different product thickness. The peel point lateral adjustment
allows adjustment for different tab material widths. Tab threading is easy since the
system has few rollers and a large tab bin. In addition, the despool roller is not controlled
by a motor but a simple adjustment knob thus reducing the cost of repair. The head is
fully portable as all the electronics are located on the back of the unit and can be
integrated with third party transport bases or web presses as required.
1.2.4 Software Controlled Tabber/Labeler Head Functions
All Tabber/Labeler head functions are controlled through software and use an operator
keypad interface for command entry. A unique feature is the automatic tab pitch
configuration, which allows the operator to automatically set the distance between each
tab on the backing paper at a touch of a button. Other configuration options include the
type of tabs (i.e. clear, solid), position of tabs, full Tabber/Labeler head diagnostics,
product sensor selection, peel point sensor sensitivity adjustment, metric units, material
size error, and production and life counters.
1.2.5 Construction, Safety Features, and Maintenance
All mechanical and electrical system components in the transport base have been designed
for long-lasting and extensive use. Included is a full safety package with feedback
through the operator display, monitored by a series of interlocking sensors. The system
has been designed to facilitate maintenance, should it be required. The transport assembly
including conveying belts and the tabletops are all easily removable for complete
mechanical component access. The Tabber/Labeler operator interface is easily accessible
by a simple slide rail system on the Tabber/Labeler head.
1.2.6 Tabbing Quality Considerations
The Tabber base has been specifically designed for the tabbing process and as such
incorporates a number of unique features to optimize tabbing quality. Particular attention
was paid to the transport belts for accurate edge positioning, the tab wrap section for the
