EQUIPMENT
Function description
The label printing & lamination station can be used to apply labels with different print images
(layout) and provide them with a protective lamination. The print images can be selected from
an internal storage medium. The printed images can be transferred from a network or an
external computer to the station (see Appendix 7 to this manual). The finished labels must be
removed by the operating staff by hand, or can be wound up for later processing.
Intended use
The label printing & lamination station serves only for printing and lamination of labels. The
station must only be operated with materials that can be processed according to the section
"Technical data". The user must also ensure that the required personal protection equipment is
worn so that no danger to himself and to others occurs.
Inadmissible working method:
Processing of any other materials than described in item "Processable materials".

Operating elements with switching cabinet
Figure
Description
The operating elements applied to the machine can be used to
perform the different functions.
For a complete description of the operating elements,
see chapter "Operating elements".
All work on electrical facilities must only be performed
by trained, certified electricians licensed according to
the applicable provisions!
Figure
Description
Three electro-pneumatic directional valves are used.
The 5/2 directional valve serves to control the cylinder unit (upand downwards movement of the cylinder).
A 3/2 directional valve is used to control the Venturi nozzle that
generates the vacuum for the vacuum lance (fastening of the
laminate upon movement at the vacuum lance).
A 3/2 directional valve switches the supporting air "on" when
dispensing the laminate, and "off" again after dispensing.
Figure
Description
The vacuum lance of the cylinder unit takes the laminate at the
dispenser and presses it onto the printed label. The laminate is
held during the downwards movement by the vacuum of the
lance. After bonding the laminate, the vacuum is turned off and
the lance will move up again.

Thermal transfer printer
Figure
Description
Different label layouts can be chosen and printed with the
thermal transfer printer. For each production with internal
memory, the number of pieces to be printed must also be
entered. A memory card that can be plugged in on the rear of the
printer serves as data carrier for the different label layouts. (With
external data connection of the printer, see Appendix 7).
The printer has a coloured touch display. All input and settings at
the printer must be made directly at the display by touching with
a finger.
Figure
Description
The laminate dispenser provides the protective laminate for the
printer labels at the dispensing edge for collection by the vacuum
lance.

The safety door must be closed and locked during
production!
