SECTION 2 SETUP ASSEMBLING THE R310 The only item that needs to be added to the R-310 is the Unwind Assy. 1. Turn your attention to the back of the R-310 where the AC Electrical cord is attached. 2. Remove the two screws where the Unwind Assembly will be assembled to the body using a 3/16” Allen wrench (not provided). 3. Remove the plates from the Unwind to reduce weight and make it easier to mount the assy. 4. Using a Square, mount the Unwind Assembly as shown below.
WEBBING THE R-310 Place the roll of labels on the unwind spool. Install the label disc and while pressing it against the label reel, tighten thumb screw. Remove enough labels so only backing paper is threaded from peeler plate back to rewind spool. Pull the web over the anti-stripper roller and down under the upper idler roll, between web guides and under star wheel. Set the web guides so that the web is held with minimum side play but still moves freely.
WASTE REMOVAL Break the web as shown and turn it opposite the running direction to loosen it. Then remove the retaining clip and remove the web and discard it.
CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT AND PRODUCT PLACEMENT SET CARRIAGE AS FOLLOWS 1. The product centerline should be slightly behind drive roller centerline when carriage is up, as shown by “Y” dim. in Fig. 5; 2. When product (A) is against drive roller, you should have a minimum 3/16” distance (dim.Z, Fig. 5) between product and peeler plate for product to sit well down between carriage idler rollers, (B, Fig.5) Use a 9/64 Allen wrench to loosen 4 cap screws (C) and relocate carriage blocks.
HORIZONTAL CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT Using adjusting screws (D, Fig. 6), you may slide “Standard Carriage Assembly” left or right to improve or change alignment of product with label. When making this adjustment, you should check position of product drive roller (Fig. 5 previous page) to be sure it is still located to properly roll down label. To adjust drive roller, loosen the set screws (E, Fig 6) in the roller and move left or right as required.
VERTICAL CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT This adjustment provides a means to relocate the lower carriage roller assembly into one of several pair of holes in the actuator arm, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 7. The purpose is, to minimize the distance the product has to travel to contact the drive roller (dim. X, Fig. 4) from page 11. To adjust the assembly loosen the two 8-32 screws (E, Fig.7) on side of actuator arms and relocate roller assembly.
CARRIAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR TAPERED PRODUCTS A tapered product can be labeled on the R-310 by adjusting the carriage as follows. 1. Remove the tie bars on the bottom of the carriage assembly (H, Fig. 9). There are 8 screws as shown in (J, Fig. 9). H J Fig 9 2. Loosen the screws on the carriage blocks (K, Fig 9a.) 3. Separate or move closer the rollers on one or both sides of the carriage depending on the taper of the product.
4. Place a product on the rollers and move the product and roller assembly so the product contacts the drive roll evenly. 5. Position the whole carriage at an angle (Fig 9b). This is so the label starts onto the product at an angle. This may seem contradictory, but the label must start at an angle so it ends up looking straight on the product. Note: Tapered Product must contact Drive roll parallel for straight label transfer.
PEELER PLATE ADJUSTMENT The peeler plate assembly may require adjustment with the change of label length or product diameter. A short label with a small diameter product would require the edge (“A” Fig. 10) of the peeler plate to be closer to the Product Drive Roller “B” than a long label with a larger diameter product and will have to be adjusted accordingly.
ADJUST PEELER PLATE AS FOLLOWS 1. Using the provided 9/64” Allen wrench just loosen – DO NOT REMOVE the two 8-32 SHCS located on the left side of the peeler assy. (see “C” in fig. 11) 2. Using the a 5/32” Allen wrench just loosen – DO NOT REMOVE - the two 10-32 SHCS located under the starwheel adjustment bar (see “D” in Fig. 11) to the right of the peeler assy. (see “E” fig. 11) 3. Adjust the peeler plate. 4. Re-tighten all screws.
SECTION 3 OPERATION Select the product to be labeled and place it on the white carriage rollers. Move the product to the right against the bottle stop, take your hands away from carriage area then depress the foot switch. After the carriage drops back down, remove the product and inspect the label for proper application. If label placement is correct, continue this procedure and occasionally check label. Minor adjustments to the machine may increase productivity.
AIR ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENTS Turn you attention to the underneath of the R-310. These two valves on the air regulator control the speed at which the carriage rises to label the product and falls back to rest. Each can be controlled individually as shown below. Turn valve ‘A’ clockwise to slow the speed that the carriage rises. Turn valve ‘A’ counterclockwise to increase the speed the carriage rises. Turn valve ‘B’ clockwise to slow the rate at which the carriage falls.
AIR REGULATOR Turn your attention to the side where the air regulator is mounted. The Air Regulator is used to raise or lower the air pressure to the machine. This will allow the R-310 to run connected to virtually any Clean air source depending on how much Air pressure is produced by your compressor. It is also used to stay within the recommend air pressure of the machine 20-40PSI, 5CFM. Note: The R-310 is designed to label a variety of items from very small up to and including a Full Gallon jug.
SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE STARWHEEL After continued use, the starwheel label sensor may become fouled with glue and the points could become dull enough so that it might fail to catch the leading edge of a label, thus allowing more than one label to be dispensed. It should be cleaned and sharpened as follows: Remove the 3 screws that hold the plastic black cover. Remove the starwheel pivot assembly and clean the starwheel with mineral spirits, lighter fluid, etc., until the wheel turns freely.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE Drive rolls: The drive rolls must be kept clean. Wash with lacquer thinner or other recommended solvents to remove gum buildup or small bits of labels adhering to rollers. Never use razor blade or sharp instruments on rollers. Damaged or gummy rollers will cause inconsistencies in label application. If they are damaged, replace them. Part Number “SRL-500-33-A”, both rollers are the same.
TECHNICAL SUPPORT When calling for Technical Support: have your Model # : R310 and the Serial Number ready (located on main base plate on the same side where the Air Regulator is). Email: fjones@universal1.com Web Site: http://www.universal1.
