3.9 Tamp Module / Heavy Duty Tamp Module
The tamp module provides the actuation to move the tamp pad from the retracted
position, where it receives a label, to the extended position, where the label is transferred
to the product. The tamp module consists of a tamp module and a vacuum tamp pad. If
the printer/applicator was purchased as a tamp machine, the necessary components have
all been assembled and installed prior to shipping. Only tamp pad position adjustments
may be needed. The tamp module is available in varying stroke lengths to meet the
application requirements. The vacuum tamp pad is machined specific to the label being
applied; a different pad is needed for each label size. If the tamp module was purchased
as a spare, replacement, or an upgrade, correct installation is required for satisfactory
results.
3.9.1 Tamp Module Installation
All standard variations of the tamp modules mount to the Model 252 baseplate in the
same location and with the same fasteners.
Locate the tamp module and remove the four M8 cap screws from the back. Align the
tamp module with the two slots in the baseplate and install the four M8 screws. The
series of six holes in the lower plate of the module should face towards the peel tip. If
they do not, the tamp module must be reversed prior to installation. Tighten the M8 cap
screws using a 6mm hex wrench. The exact position of the tamp module is not important
at this stage. Finally, locate the vacuum tamp pad, which is specific to the label size
being used, and remove the two M6 cap screws. Align the tamp pad with the bottom of
the adapter plate, making sure the M6 hole closest to the faceplate matches the tamp
adapter plate hole closest to the faceplate. Install both M6 cap screws, be sure the pad is
square to the plate and tighten using a 5mm hex wrench.
