Maintenance Manual: Standard 360a Model Y (360y) Label Applicator

Dancer Arm Adjustment
The dancer arm maintains tension on the label liner and operates
the brake on the unwind mandrel when labels are dispensed. The
spring holding the dancer arm should be adjusted so that there is
enough braking force to keep the unwind mandrel from
continuing to roll after a label feed, but still releases the unwind
mandrel when the applicator is cycled.
1. Loosen the screw going to the spring tension disk [15A].
2. Rotate the disk to set the proper spring tension [15B].
3. Re-tighten screw.
Rewind Slip Clutch
Tension adjustments may be needed on the rewind if the liner is
being wound too loose or tight. The following conditions warrant
this adjustment:
• Change in label width or length.
• Applicator attitude.
• Web speed changes.
• Motor acceleration or deceleration value changes.
