Instruction Manuals: Installation, Operators Maintenance Standard 360a Model Y (360y) Label Applicator
xv
Jog: Button on the display screen that allows the applicator to dispense a single label without the applicator running through the
labeling process
Label Detect Sensor: Detects the label starting from the leading edge to the trailing edge of a label and tells the applicator when to
stop the stepper motor from advancing the labels.
Label Feed: The moving of the labels on the liner through the machine.
Label Liner: Backing material that supports the labels before dispensing.
Label Manifold: Aluminum block mounted under the tamp slide that the label pad is mounted to, and air blasts are channeled
through it to the label pad.
Label Pad: Mounted under the manifold and made from white Delrin that holds the label before application and needs to be made to
the exact size for every label.
Label Placement: Time or distance from when the product detect sensor detects the product to when the labeling sequence starts.
Label Size: Distance across the label (width) and distance from the leading edge to the feed length of a label.
Label Stop: Distance from the leading edge of a label to where the label detect sensor is detecting a certain spot on the label liner and
where the applicator stops advancing. The distance itself is relative to how many labels are in between the label sensor and the peel
edge. If the labels are small, there will be many labels between the label sensor and the peel edge. And if the labels are large, there will
be only one label between the label sensor and the peel edge.
Label Tension Brush Assembly: Adjustable brush to help create tension on the label liner.
Labeling Sequence: Process in which the product detect sensor detects the product to be labeled; the label detect sensor detects the
label; the label is fed from the liner to the product, manifold, or box grid; and then is brushed onto, tamped, or air blown onto the
product.
Leading Edge: First edge of the label that gets detected by the label sensor.
LED: Light Emitting Diode.
Merge Nose: Nose used for dispensing labels via the wipe on/merge application. A label is dispensed from the peel edge and the
brush wipes the label onto the product as it is traveling past the applicator. For this nose, products must be moving on a production
line.
Peel Edge: Found on the nose assembly, is the aluminum, or stainless steel, beveled plate that separates the label from the liner as it
is pulled around it by the nip drive.
Peel Edge Label Tension Spring: Spring attached to the bottom of the spring block assembly used to keep the label liner flat on
the peel edge surface and helps in controlling the dispensing of the label onto the blow box grid, tamp pad, or product. The tension is
adjustable to accommodate varying label thickness and how easily the label peels off the liner.
Product Detect Sensor: Sensor that detects the product to be labeled and tells the applicator when to begin the labeling sequence.
Rewind Mandrel: Rotating mandrel that holds the empty liner after the labels have been removed.
Rewind Slip Clutch: Attached to the rewind mandrel and driven by the stepper motor that stops the rewinding of the liner if the
applicator is moving too fast.
Reverse Vacuum Blow (RVB) Nose: Nose used for dispensing labels with an air blast using a stationary tamp label pad and
manifold. A label is dispensed from the peel edge onto a label pad and then an air blast places the label on the product.
