Apply Mode
1. Tamp – This selection enables the configuration of the applicator to apply a
label using a vacuum tamp pad mounted on an Air Cylinder. Enables the
pneumatics used in tamp mode and disables all other configurations.
Tamp Mode Cycle:
1. Label is printed and dispensed onto tamp pad.
2. Vacuum valve enabled creating a vacuum through the pad holding label
up on tamp pad.
3. (upon trigger from photo cell) Air Cylinder extends and physically makes
contact with product.
4. Adhesive on label adheres label to product as cylinder retracts.
2. Tamp-jet - This selection enables the configuration of the applicator to apply a
label using a vacuum tamp pad mounted on an Air Cylinder. Enables the
pneumatics used in tamp-jet mode and disables all other configurations.
Tamp-jet Mode Cycle:
1. Label is printed and dispensed onto tamp pad.
2. Vacuum valve enabled creating a vacuum through the pad holding label
up on tamp pad.
3. (upon trigger from photo cell) Air Cylinder extends and stops just short
of the product.
4. As the air cylinder reaches the end of its travel a valve opens and a
blast of air is driven through the tamp pad.
5. The label is aerodynamically propelled towards the product.
6. Adhesive on label adheres label to product as cylinder retracts.
The Primary difference between tamp-jet and reverse tamp-jet is;
In tamp-jet mode the cylinder extends only when receiving a signal
from the product detector.
In Reverse tamp-jet mode the cylinder extends at the end of the
dispense cycle and stays extended until the product detect sends the
