Operator’s Manual: Standard 360a Model Y (360y) Label Applicator

Mounting DAT Product Detect Sensor
Before going through this section, ensure the extend and retract times are properly setup. The following setup assumes no encoder is
used. For encoder applications some values may change.
1. Power-on the applicator, turn on the air, and bring the applicator online.
2. Position the product detect sensor about 6in. upstream of the extended swing arm.
3. Set the first label placement to 0.001 and turn the conveyor on.
4. Place a product on the conveyor and watch when the label is blown from the label pad.
a. If the product hits the label pad before it retracted, move the product detect sensor upstream more.
b. If it retracted too soon, move the sensor downstream. Ideally, the label will be blown onto the front of the product
and retract without ever touching the product.
5. Look at the position of the label on the side of the product.
a. If it was applied too late, decrease the second label placement.
b. If it was applied too early, increase the label placement.
c. If the second label placement is too low compared to the cycle time for the first half of the labeling sequence, a
warning will be displayed saying “label placement is too low.”
