Explanation
Customer support for quick diagnosis over the phone
The edge (front or rear) of a product or a label is used by the
sensor for the detection of the product or respectively the
label gap.
Leaked adhesive at the label edge can cause the label to
adhere to the carrier paper. The printed label remains stuck
to the carrier paper and cannot be pushed onto the tamp
Mode, during which parameters of the applicator configura-
tion can be adjusted in the display
Difference in the brightness of the light and dark areas of a
print
The leading edge of a product/label is used to start a process
(also refer to edge detection)
Light-emitting diode
An adjustable delay time from the product detection up to the
start of the application cycle
A sensor to detect the product. Optical sensors are most
commonly used (photocells, light barriers, reflex sensors)
Command to reset the software systems to default values
which is usually activated by a key combination
Metal plate over which the label liner moves in the proximity
of the product. At the end of the plate, the label liner is guided
back along the metal plate, while the label is peeled off and
applied.
Complete operational sequence of the labeler (e.g. label
printing (if applicable) and peeling off (if applicable), label
transfer to the applicator up to the labeling of the product).
A powered axle with a fixture for the attachment of the label
liner. The spindle is used for winding the label liner
Programmable logic controller
Arm that keeps the label liner under tension through spring
force
Printhead of the print module. Tiny heating elements (dots) in
the print head generate heat. This heat causes ...
Direct thermal: ...a colour change in the print medium
Thermal transfer: ...detachment and transfer of colour from
the thermal transfer ribbon onto the print medium
Touch-controlled screen, display, monitor ...
The trailing edge of a product/label is used to start a process
(also refer to edge detection)
The signal from a sensor or a PLC that is used to activate an
application process.
AC voltage.
DC voltage.
