5.4.2 Tampjet Mode
Tampjet – This selection enables the configuration of the applicator to apply a label using
a vacuum tamp pad mounted on an air cylinder. Also, enables the pneumatics used in
tampjet mode and disables all other configurations.
The Tampjet Mode Cycle:
1)
The label is printed and dispensed onto the tamp pad.
2)
The vacuum valve is enabled, creating a vacuum through the holes in the
tamp pad, which holds the label in place.
3)
When the product detection signal is received, the air cylinder extends and
stops just short of the product.
4)
As the air cylinder reaches the end of its travel, the tampjet valve opens
releasing a blast of air which is routed through the holes in the vacuum tamp
pad.
5)
The label is aerodynamically propelled toward the product.
6)
Adhesive on the label attaches the label to the product as the air cylinder
retracts.
The primary difference between the Tampjet and Reverse Tampjet is;
In Tampjet mode, the air cylinder extends only when receiving a signal from
the product detector.
In Reverse Tampjet mode, the air cylinder extends at the end of the label dispense
cycle, staying extended until the product detector send a trigger signal to active the
tampjet valve.
5.4.3 Reverse Tampjet Mode
Reverse Tampjet – This selection enables the configuration of the applicator to apply a
label using a vacuum tamp pad mounted on an air cylinder. Also, enables the pneumatics
used in reverse tampjet mode and disables all other configurations.
The Reverse Tampjet Mode Cycle:
1)
The label is printed and dispensed onto the tamp pad.
2)
The vacuum valve is enabled, creating a vacuum through the holes in the
tamp pad, which holds the label in place.
3)
As soon as the label has been dispensed the air cylinder extends and stops
just short of the product.
4)
When a product detector signal is received, the tampjet valve opens releasing
a blast of air which is routed through the holes in the vacuum tamp pad.
5)
The label is aerodynamically propelled toward the product.
6)
Adhesive on the label attaches the label to the product as the air cylinder
retracts.
Specialty firmware versions may not support this mode of operation.
These versions will not display this option.
