SPEED
Adjust dispensing
speed
The dispensing speed of the Collamat C4300/C7300 has to be equal to the
speed of the conveyor belt (product flow speed).
The speed adjustment will be done with the potentiometer „SPEED“ on the
operator plate.
The max. dispensing speed depends on the Collamat type. Collamat C4300 =
max. speed is 25m/Min. Collamat C7300: max. speed is 50m/Min.
Be sure to have a long enough product to product gap (possible product
separation necessary).
LABEL
PREDISPENSING
Adjust label
predispensing
The label predispensing value indicates the distance (length) of the label part
from the label scanner to the leading edge of the label (stop-position).
The adjustment of this value will be done with the potentiometer „LABEL
PREDISPENSING“ on the operator plate.
Check: press the FEED-key on the operator plate and measure the
predispensing distance.
LABEL SCANNER
Adjust label scanner
The label scanner will be used to detect the leading edge of the label on the
dispensing edge – allowing to stop the labels always on the same (stop)
position on the dispensing edge.
The potentiometer „LABEL SCANNER“ on the operator plate is used to control
the current flow to the label scanner sender diodes = controlling the amount of
transmitted light (from sender to receiver).

speed
The dispensing speed of a labeler – here specially for the C4300/C7300 – has to
be equal to the conveyor belt speed of the products/goods.
If the dispensing speed is to low, the labesl could stick on the
products/goods or the labels will be teard off from the dispensing edge –
thereby the backing could be ruptured. This will probably result in wrong
placement of the label on the product.
If the dispensing speed is to fast, the labels on the product could get
bubbles or wrinkles. This will also result in bad or inaccurate labeling.
The dispensing speed adjustment is done with the „SPEED“ potentiometer on the
operator plate.
The max. dispensing speed for a C4300 is 25m/Min and for a C7300 is 50m/Min.
Be shure to have a big enough gap between products.
