Automatic Set Up Optimization Program

To use the automatic set up optimization program you will need to complete the following steps.

Thread the labels onto the machine after you have placed the label roll on the web unwind table, being sure to remove a label from in front of the label sensor
Determine bottle size and adjust the pressure pad and guide rails to match
Place a bottle onto the conveyer and press the “F1” key on the integrated controller welcome menu

The rest of the work is done by the Self Start routine. The routine will begin by determining the correct number of pulses for the bottle as it passes through the sensor. The next step will be for the machine to determine the sensitivity using the backing strip from the label that you removed. It then starts the stepper and counts the steps from the leading edge the first label it senses. From there it is able to distinguish the appropriate space between the labels. After this it performs a double check using the position of the second label and does the necessary calculation to determine the label stop position and the appropriate label dispensing timing. Now it is ready to run your job perfectly. After set up is complete you can make adjustment to the application speed without negatively impacting quality. The best part is you can now save this set up into memory so future jobs will be even easier.
