PCU
The Printer Control Unit (PCU) controls the operation of the printer. The
PCU unit is also equipped with an ACC (Application Control Card) that
controls the applicator. The ACC is capable of controlling applicators
having numerous cylinders and is mounted within the PCU.
Applicators
The applicator is mounted in front of the printer/labeller and is designed to
apply labels on both moving and stationary objects. The applicator’s main
parts are: an applicator unit which controls the flow of compressed air in
the system and blow box with an electric fan that holds the label to the
applicator, and with thrust nozzle that blow the label onto the product. A
thrust of compressed air blows the label on the product. The thrust nozzle
knob changes the position of the thrust nozzles and the indicator indicates
the thrust nozzles’ position. As a general recommendation the thrust
nozzles’ position should be in the centre of the label. The Blow applicator
can be angled for serving the printer, by lifting the locking pin and turn the
applicator.
