Non Integrated Control System

Following is an example of the set up procedures for using a common non integrated control system to apply wrap around labels.

It is important to note that this sequence will need to be followed every time you use this set up, not just the first time.

Thread the labels onto the machine after you have placed the label roll on the web unwind table
Determine bottle size and adjust the pressure pad and guide rails to match
Determine and set conveyer speed
Determine and set wrap belt speed, ideally slightly faster than your conveyer speed
Set your drive roller speed, which should match your wrap belt speed
Make necessary adjustments to the label sensor sensitivity
Apply settings to the label stop delay timer, and if needed make changes to the physical location of the sensor
Set the product delay timer, and if needed make manual adjustments to the product sensor
Perform a test run and make any necessary changes to the wrap belt speed so that it more closely mirrors the drive roller speed
Make needed adjustment frequently throughout the labeling process
Determine whether the labeling speed you have set is appropriate for the product you are working with
Repeat all of the above steps until you have achieved the proper running speed
Run through a large amount of labels in the process of determining all of the above
Be glad that wrap around labelers are easier to set up than front and back labelers that include this type of control system
