Dispense speed __________________________________________________VELO
The speed value VELO displays the dispensing speed in 0.1 m/min. The product conveyor
speed has to be constant to assure accurate labelling. A change of the product speed causes a
different position of the label on the product. In case of inaccurate labelling, it should be
verified, if the speed of the dispenser and your product match together. This is done
automatically if the optional automatic speed follower (APSF) is installed.
If the machine is equipped with an applicator, two parameters in the standard menu can be
changed. The delay time which specifies the moment when the applicator must put the label
onto the product and the blow time - how long the applying of the label should take.
Start delay_______________________________________________________STAD
By the aid of the parameter STAD the period of time between the recognition by the product
sensor and the dispensing of the label onto the product is determined. The time units are ms,
the time is adjusted by the keys FUNCTION.
Blow on time____________________________________________________ BLOW
The labelling time BLOW indicates, for how long the applicator should apply the label onto the
product. This time is displayed in ms also. BLOW is equivalent to APT2, which is found in the
extended menu.
Product menu____________________________________________________ PD0n
This menu can be used for storing data for different labels and products. 15 different sets of
product data can be programmed.
