Product Description
Function
The universal tamp applicator 1005 is an additional module for the transfer printer Hermes A. It's developed for the
automatically apply a label onto a product. To apply the label the applicator used a Tamp, which moved between a
basic position and a labeling position by pneumatic cylinder. The label can apply in print direction or in a 90 degree
position to the print direction.

2.2
2.3
In the start position the applicator is between two labeling cycles.
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
The label transfer to the product is possible over :
• Stamp
The label will be impressed at the unmoved product by pad.
Important Features
• 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.
• To integrate the applicator in a higher process the applicator has a PLC Interface with a 15-pin SUB-D connector.
