Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 17 Preparing the machine 3. Preparing the machine In this chapter you will learn how to install and adjust the labeller. After this step ha s been completed you will be ready to learn how the labeller's parameters can be adjusted to suit your particular production requirements.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 18 Preparing the machine 3.2.2 Define label data For correct dispenser operation, you have to tell the machine the length of the label and adjust the label sensor. Normally this is done automatica lly. For this follow the instructions in chapter Operation / Initialise material.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 19 Preparing the machine Setting LPIT manually To initialise labels with cut outs such as the one shown below - the "LPIT" parameter should be used to enter the label pitch of the label web.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 20 Preparing the machine 3.2.3 Capacitive label sensor For transparent labels the standard photo label sensor doesn’t work.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 21 Preparing the machine 3.3 Label guide On some of the axles, they’re guiding clamps. Adjust the clamps near the machine so all have the same distance to the front plate (31.5mm). The outer clamps should be mounted that the guide but not bend the label material.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 22 Preparing the machine 3.4.2 Fixed dispensing speed The second step is to adjust the dispense speed. If an APSF sensor is used see 3.4.3. If an applicator is used, then the dispense speed has no influ ence to the dispense process.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 23 Operation 4. Operation This chapter describes the operation of the machine. 4.1 Safety recommendation CAUTION! y Before connections to the mains check the correct voltage selection. y Use only original spare parts for service.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 24 Operation 4.2 Inserting label material Attention: • Before threading the new material, the waste paper should be removed. CAUTION! - Isertion/exchange of material should be carried out only by especially instructed personal.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 25 Operation 4.2.1 Removing label material Before you mount a new roll of labels, it is necessary to remove the accumulated roll of backing material. Turn the lever the expanding pads retract. The roll of backing material can easily be pulled off the rewind mandrel.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 26 Operation Mounting a new label roll on ALS 330 Euro Mount the new label roll to the unwind mandrel and secure the position by means of the unwind clamp.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 27 Operation the backing material is clamped in the slot. Wind the mandrel a few times to take up any backing material slack between the deviator roller and the rewind mandrel.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 28 Operation 4.2.4 Lead screw adjustment For adjustments of the dispensing edge towards or away from the conveyor, the lead screw integrated in the labelling head should be used. Positions can be read from the scale on the dispensing edge bars.
Operators Manual ALS 330/430 Release 4/06 Page 29 Operation 4.2.7 Adjust pressure roller Depending on the application the foam roller has to be adjusted. Loose the both screws and tighten the screws again after the adjustment was done. Figure 14 Adjust pressure roller 4.
