In applicator mode, the applicator takes the label from the dispensing edge and carries it to the product. The labeller can be equipped with various applicators, depending on the need. Those applicators are all driven by compressed air. The following are possible: LTP / LTPV LTP (Light Touch Pneumatic) and LTPV (Light Touch Pneumatic Vacuum): Applicator with „Light Touch“ function. „Light Touch“ means, that the movement of the (compressed air) cylinder is limited by sensors, which react to a light touch onto the product. The LTPV additionally sucks the labels on with a vacuum nozzle. Advantages: • Application on products with different heights possible • Only light pressure onto the product (important with sensitive products) PEP The cylinder movement is limited by a setable length of time. After the run out of this application time, the applicator moves back into home position. PEP Blow on PEP-type applicator with blow on function: After run out of the application time, the blow on function is activated. After run out of the blow on time, the applicator moves back into home position. PEP II Sensor The cylinder movement is limited by a (touch down) sensor, which signals the contact to the product and triggers the backwards-movement. ASA ASA (Air Stream Applicator) This applicator type has no moving parts, but blows the label onto the product (also called „blow box“). After the start signal, the blow on valve is opened for a setable time length. Reverse PEP This applicator is partly time related. Working procedure: The applicator moves to its end position and “waits“ for the start signal. The start signal triggers the blow on valve which is active for the defined blow on time. After the run out or the blown on time, the applicator moves to home position, gets the next label and moves to the wait position. BTS BTS (Bad Tag Separator) This device does the opposite of an applicator: it removes labels from the dispensing edge of a labeller. The BTS is used for sorting out RFID labels, which could not be read/written properly. 3 02/10 Rev. 5.04-02 SERVICE MANUAL ALX 92x Applicator Interface Connecting an applicator Depending on the applied applicator type, different input and output signals are used. The following applicator types, which are distributed by Avery Dennison, can be connected directly to the connector for Avery applicators, using the delivered cable, see . • LTP / LTPV • PEP IV • BTS • LA-BO (conforms to the „ASA“ type) • LA-TO (conforms to the „PEP“ or „PEP II Sens.“ type) For all other applicator types, the connection cable must be configurated by the system integrator: Inputs Outputs Home Position Touch Down Airstream Support Vacuum Cylinder Blow On +24V for fan BTS Appropriate setting for LA-TO with time control Appropriate setting for LA-TO with sensor control Appropriate setting for LA-BO With pneumatic dispensing edge Only with LTPV Legend for (Tab. 1): Input signal used Input signal not used Output signal used Output signal not used O-Ring Appl.
