Application system for the automatic application of labels.
Corresponds to normal operation. The labeler is ready to
dispense labels.
The leading edge of a product/label is used to start a process
(see “Edge detection”).
Abbreviation for “Light Emitting Diode” (LED).
Low label pre-warning:
(Low Label Warning)
An optical sensor (reflection light scanner) which is used to
alert about a (preset) minimum label roll diameter.
Maintenance unit
(FR group)
Unit consisting of:
Compressed air regulator pressure gauge to indicate the
amount of compressed air (in bar)
Quick-lock valve
Water separator for manually draining any condensate
that may be present
The transparency of a material can be measured with a light
barrier and is referred to as opacity. During the measurement,
the amount of light emitted is compared to the amount of light
arriving. The lower the ratio the smaller is the opacity.
Metal edge of the applicator unit which is used to peel the
label.
Abbreviation for "programmable logic controller".
Uses compressed air as an energy source to create move-
ments and currents.
Alterable resistor (controller) for the analogue adjustment of
settings on the labeler (e.g. the time behaviour of the tamp
movement depending on the rotational position of the potenti-
ometer).
Product delay
(Product Delay)
An adjustable delay time from the product detection up to the
start of the application cycle.
Product sensor
(Product detector)
A sensor for the detection of the product. Most commonly,
optical sensors (photocells, light barriers, reflex sensors) are
used.
Command to reset the software systems to default values,
which is usually activated by keyboard shortcut.
Attachment fixture (usually for 3 inch cardboard core) for re-
winding the label backing tape. The winder spooles up the
backing paper which is fed back from the labeler. The rewind-
ing is controlled by a dancer arm (see Dancer arm). Rewind-
ers have a motor drive.
Sensor for a variable applica-
tion stroke
A proximity sensor that is mounted on the dispensing tamp
and recognizes the product. If a product is detected, the label
is blown on / applied.
Duration of the tamp movement (extension and retraction)
during the labeling cycle.
