Product Description
2.1
Function
6
The tamp applicator 1300 is an additional module for the transfer printer Hermes A. It's developed for the automati-
cally apply a label onto a product.
To apply the label the applicator used a Tamp, which moved between a take-over position and a labeling position by
two pneumatic cylinder.
In the take over position the tamp get the label from printer. In the take-over position, the label is picked up from the
printer by the vacuum plate of the pad. A sensor at the cylinder signals when the pad is in the take-over position.
The label is removed from the carrier ribbon directly at the dispense edge of the printer. It is sucked on the pad by
a vacuum via drill-holes at the bottom of the pad. For support, the label is also blown against the pad with an air
current coming from a blow tube. The correct transfer of the label is controlled by a vacuum sensor. Next, the pad is
moved down into the labelling position, which is confirmed by another sensor (labelling position sensor). Here, the
label is stamped onto the product. While the pad is moving back into the starting position, the vacuum sensor controls
whether the label has been removed from the pad. Specially adapted pads can be used for different label sizes.
While the pad is moving back into the starting position, the vacuum sensor controls whether the label has been
removed from the pad.
Supporting air, vacuum and cylinder speed are adjustable. So it's possible to accommodate the system to different
label sizes.
For operation in a superior system the applicator's PLC (programmable logic control) interface with potential free
inputs and outputs can be used..
