TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED

PROBLEM WITH WRINKLE OR SKEWED LABEL

The turning unit must be adjusted properly to the top of the conveyor. If the

turning unit is tilted up, the container will want to rise up off the conveyor, which

will wrinkle the label. Same problem, if the turning unit is tilted to far down it will

wrinkle the label or cause the label to be skewed. (See Fig.8a)

The backing plate must be adjusted properly. Too much pressure will squish the

bottle and cause wrinkles. Not enough pressure and the label will not be wiped

down properly. (See Fig.7)

If the label is skewed one way or the other way (running up hill or down hill) and it

is doing it consistently, use the skew adjustment to get the label on properly.

(See Fig.24)

The applicator should be square to the container. If the container has a taper to it

then the applicator angle needs to match that taper. If the container is at 90°

angle to the conveyor then the applicator peeler plate needs to be at a 90° angle.

(See Fig.25)

CONTAINERS NOT ALL GETTING LABELED

If containers are going threw and all containers are not getting labeled, you need

to check to make sure the product sensor is working correctly. (See Fig.11) Also,

product spacing may be too close together. A label has to be completely

dispensed before the product sensor can send another signal to get another label

to dispense. (See Fig.12)

LABEL NOT DISPENSING FROM APPLICATOR

Make sure that the applicator switch on the control enclosure is “On”. Make sure

that the motor switch on the applicator is “On” and running. If motor is “On” and

not running, check to make sure that the motor is getting DC voltage. If motor is

running and the labels are not dispensing, check that there is DC voltage to the

clutch brake. If there is no DC voltage to the clutch brake, re-seat the circuit

board behind the front panel of the applicator. If there is still no DC voltage to the

clutch brake, check for AC voltage at the transformer behind the front panel of

the applicator. If there is AC voltage at the transformer, the circuit board is bad.

Make sure that the web lock link is disengaged. Check to see if setscrews are

tight on the drive roll.
