Featuring solid-state circuitry and an AC Synchronous Motor, the L60 is a high performance,
low maintenance label applicator. The L60 applicator is designed to apply a pressure
sensitive label to a product through the action of an air-cylinder-mounted, or blow-on,
vacuum head. The labeling process can be automatic when interfaced with a conveyor, or
semi-automatic with a table-based product fixture. When triggered, the L60 Tamp vacuum
head extends to meet the product. When the air cylinder returns the vacuum head to the
home position, another label is indexed onto the head and is waiting to be applied to the
next product. The L60 BLOW vacuum head blows the label onto the product, and another
label is indexed and ready for the next product.
Switches:
There are two switches on the front panel of the applicator. The Main switch turns the
power on or off, and if a Hot Stamp Coder is used, will allow it to heat up. The Motor switch
controls the motor that turns the drive roller and waste rewind. Fig 1
Product Detection:
The product can be detected on the leading or trailing edge. To change from leading to
trailing edge, set switch 4 of the power module to the ON position. (See lower left of
Drawing L15-D-02)
Recommended Settings:
There are many different label compositions, so there is no one set of machine settings (air
pressure, etc.), which will work on all types of labels. The following recommended air
regulator settings will give the operator a place to start.
Set the air cylinder pressure to about 15 psi. The vacuum pump input pressure will vary
according to label density and size, which you can start at 5-10 psi. Turning the regulator
knobs on the side of the machine can regulate air pressures. Fig 1

SECTION 2 SETUP AND OPERATION
ASSEMBLING THE L60
Using a square, mount the Unwind Assembly to the back of the L60 using the 2
screws provided. The top screw is a ¼-20x1-1/2” socket head cap screw, the
bottom screw is ¼-20x1-1/4”.
Please
note:
Screws.
Top one is
longer.
Fig 3
Maximum reliability is assured when the Compressed Air supplied to the L60 is
Clean & Dry. Over time, moisture will take its toll on the Solenoid Valves and Air
cylinder. Also it is not recommended to add Oil to the Compressed Air line supplied
to the L60. The air valves and air cylinder will eventually fail and oil will end up on
the label from the Air Assist tube which helps feed the label on to the vacuum head.
This will cause the label to not adhere properly to the product.
Run 40 psi @5CFM minimum compressed air to the L60 and procure necessary
fittings to make the connection to the air inlet located on the side opposite the label
drive and rewind. DO NOT CONNECT THE AIR TO THE UNIT AT THIS TIME.

Page 9
FUNCTION OF UNWIND ASSEMBLY
The unwind is simple, but important to the operation of the L-60 machine. When the
motor starts, the web and labels are pulled through the machine by the drive roller.
The label stock pulls on the brake arm, releasing the brake, and allows the roll of
labels to unwind. When the motor stops, the brake arm returns to the rest position.
This movement tightens the brake band around the 3" diameter main unwind hub
and the roll of labels stops unwinding.
The L-60 has a fixed speed, AC drive motor that transmits power to the drive roller.
The AC drive is directly influenced by the load it is trying to pull. In this case, the load
is the tension of the brake arm spring and the weight of the roll of labels. The brake
arm spring shown below in Fig # 4, should be fastened to the unwind assembly
mounting bar in the tapped hole which provides the least amount of tension at the
brake arm. (The hole closest to the hub.)
If the L-60 is dispensing a long label (10" for example), you may have to increase
the tension on the brake arm spring (Move spring attachment point to lower hole See Fig # 4) to keep the brake arm from bottoming out.
The length and speed figures mentioned above are only examples. Your observation
of the unwind operation will be the best indication of when a tension change may be
needed.

WASTE REMOVAL
1. To remove waste web, turn off the machine, and remove the rewind spool
clamp.

2. Tear the web first.
3. While holding the rewind backing plate, turn the whole waste web in the
opposite direction and pull.

MOUNTING THE L-60
The L-60 can be mounted from the bottom or the top. The most common method is
bottom mount (see Fig 6). Fig 6 shows the L-60 mounted to the optional base plate
with standoffs. Fig 7 shows the top of an L-60 ordered with standard mounting and
can accept a coder. Fig 8 shows an L-60 Ordered for top mount.
Six holes have been provided in the two lower tie bars. Any combination may be
used. The hole pattern most used is 6-1/2" square, which is where the 4 legs are
shown in Fig. 6. All the holes are tapped 1/4-20.

THEORY OF OPERATION
TAMP CYLINDER RETURN OPTIONS
Dwell Timer (Standard on all L60 Tamp Applicators)
“Dwell Time” is the time duration of the signal that opens the valve, which activates
the air cylinder. This time duration can be adjusted with the three- turn dial located
on the front panel of the machine. Turn the dial clockwise and the duration to
Dwell timer
Fig 9
increase the dwell time signal. After the label apply signal is given, the air cylinder
extends and the time duration terminates, the air cylinder then retracts and returns
the vacuum head to the home position.
Setting the Dwell time:
1. Turn the dial counter-clockwise to “0”.
2. Activate foot switch or product sensor. You will notice that the air cylinder will not
extend.
3. Turn the dial to “10”. The air cylinder should extend a short distance and return.
4. Turn the dial until the vacuum head touches the product. The dwell time is now
set. The distance of the machine from the product and air pressure will affect
this setting.
Page 12
Page 13
LOWER “HALL EFFECT” SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
Some L60 tamp label applicators are equipped with two sensors that are attached to
the air cylinder. One is located at the top of the cylinder and the other is located
below it. The upper sensor sends a signal to the machine so another label will be
dispensed onto the vacuum head. The lower sensor can be adjusted to control or
limit the stroke of the air cylinder that returns the vacuum head to the home position.
The lower sensor is the only one that may require adjustment.

Fig 10
Adjusting the Lower “Hall Effect” Sensor:
1. With Main switch “On” and Motor switch “Off”.
2. Disconnect air supply or turn tamp regulator “Off”.
3. Bring Tamp Head down to new product height.
4. Loosen Phillips screw on Hall Effect Sensor.
5. Slide sensor to top of cylinder, then down until the indicator light on the sensor
lights up.
6. Tighten the Phillips screw on the sensor.
Page 13
Page 14
“SMART HEAD” (OPTIONAL)
The Smart Head is used if there is a variation in height of the product or the location
of the product on the conveyor cannot be controlled. Simply put, the air cylinder is
going to travel it makes contact with the product. A “smart head“ vacuum head is
constructed so that the pad that holds the label compresses when the label is
applied. When a sensor detects a specific amount of compression, it sends a signal
to the machine telling the air cylinder to return the vacuum head to the home
position.

EXPLANATION OF LABEL TRANSFER
As the label is being peeled, it should first contact the center of the bevel on the
Vacuum Head. This will deflect the label slightly downward. The air from the Air
Assist Tube will keep the label up against the face of the Vacuum Head.
NOTE: The label is deflected downward so that after it is transferred to the head, it
will be resting in a position below the peeler plate edge. This is done so the label
will not contact the peeler plate edge, as it is being tamped or blown onto the
product.

Fig 14
With the product sensor plugged into the proper receptacle, you can cycle the
applicator by breaking the beam (photo eye) or tripping the foot switch or micro
switch in the fixture. The foot or micro switch in the fixture are used when the L60 is
operated as a semi-automatic labeling device, while a photoelectric switch is used
when the L60 is mounted in line for automatic label application. When activated, the
motor will be turned on and the air will rush through the Air Assist Tube assisting the
label transfer. The amount of air rushing through the tube is most critical to a
smooth transfer and ultimately the accuracy of the Label Applicator. All the
applicators are tested at the factory and the Air Assist Tube airflow is set at that time.
However, different label stocks react differently during the transfer process,
therefore, the following procedure should be employed if the proper label transfer
cannot be achieved.
Page 15
Page 16
Air
Assist
tube
Air Assist Tube
The Air Assist (Drawing L60-I-30D #26) is a tube with a series of holes through
which air rushes assisting the transfer of the label to the Vacuum Tamp or Blow
Head. The air will rush through the tube only when the motor is running and the
label is being peeled and transferred.
Fig 15
It is our experience that as the roll of labels becomes smaller in diameter, some
labels tend to curl after they are peeled from the backing web. The Air Assist tube
blows the label up as it is being peeled, assisting the label onto the Vacuum Head. It
is regulated by a needle valve
Assist Tube on the front of the machine. This air is supplied by the main incoming
line and is subject to house line pressure. Experience will tell you how much air is
needed to assist the label onto the vacuum head.
Adjusting the Air Assist Tube air pressure
1. Close the needle valve at the end of the Air Assist Tube by turning it clockwise.
2. Cycle the applicator by triggering the Product Switch Assembly.
NOTE: The label will peel, but not transfer to the head.
3. Open the needle valve by turning it counter clockwise ½ turn.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 until the label transfers onto the head with little or no deviation
from a straight-line motion.

WEBBING THE L60
Fig 16
1. Turn off the Main Power switch (22) on the Front Panel
2. Loosen the black thumbscrew (19).
3. Slide off the removable label retainer (20).
4. Place a roll of labels on the Unwind Hub (01).
5. Loosen the Socket Head Cap Screw (02) on the Clamp of the Unwind
Backing Disc (03) and position the roll of labels so the labels track centered
on the Vacuum Head (06) when peeled off (See FRONT VIEW). (NOTE: For
round or oval labels, it is important that the Star Wheel (05) be on the
centerline of the label).
6. NOTE: If the unit is equipped with photoelectric label sensing or a clear label
sensor, the position of the sensor relative to the label is not critical in most
cases. The clear label sensor detects the difference in thickness from the
label to the backing material. Metalized graphics or alphanumeric characters
will cause this sensor to false trigger. Locate the sensor away from the path
of metalized material. (See SIDE VIEW PHOTO SENSOR)
7. Replace the removable label retainer (20) and tighten thumbscrew (19).
8. Pull the web over the Brake Arm (06) and down between the Web Guides
(07) on the Label Guide Support Plate (08). (NOTE: If equipped with
photoelectric sensor, slide web between white idler roller and web drag (21).
9. Adjust the Web Guides (07), so the web is held with minimum side play but
still moves freely.
Page 17
Page 18
10. Pull the web under the Star Wheel and down between the first Idler Roll (09)
and the Label Guide Support Plate (08), then forward over Idler Roll (10) and
under Idler Roll (11).
11. NOTE: There are 2 Web guides located here also. Adjust them as above in
Step 8.
12. Next, pull the web between the Peeler Plate (12) and the Web Drag (13).
13. Pull the web until approximately 18” extends from the peeler plate, Remove
any labels that are on this part of the web.
14. Bring the web back between the Peeler Plate (12) and Air Assist Tube (14),
under Idler Roll (10) then up around the Drive Roller (15).
15. Push the Drive Roller (15) away from the Nip Roller (16).
16. Slide the web between the Nip Roller (16) and Drive Roller (15), under the
Web Stand-Off Stud (17) then up to the Rewind Spool (18).
17. Secure the web around the Rewind Spool using Web Retention Clip (23) and
turn the Rewind Spool until the web is held firmly. This may require pulling
even more web, which will peel off some labels. Catch these labels so they
don’t stick on something.
18. Grasp the Rewind Spool and turn it counterclockwise for Right Hand, or
clockwise for Left Hand to take up slack in the web.
19. Loosen the thumbscrew on the Web Drag Assembly (13) and apply moderate
pressure by lifting up on the thumbscrew, forcing the thin Web Drag Plate
down on the labels. This will keep the label from buckling as it is fed onto the
vacuum head.
Page 18
Page 19
RUNNING THE L60
1. Turn the main switch ON (01).
2. Turn motor switch ON (02).
3. Connect air supply. CAUTION: This may bring the Tamp Head up abruptly.
Keep fingers clear.
4. Cycle the machine several times (trigger the Product Switch (09)) and
observe the label web tracking. Web tracking should settle to a consistent
line. Once you have determined a consistent line has been achieved, set the
web guides on each side of the web.
NOTE: To ensure the label feeds properly onto the Vacuum Head (04), the Head
(04) must be as close as possible to the edge of the peeler bar (10), without hitting
it.
1. Loosen the two Thumbscrews (05) that hold the Star Wheel Assembly (06).
2. Slide the assembly up until the Star Wheel completely turns over and is down
on a flat side.
3. Next, slide the Star Wheel Assembly (06) up or down until the point of the Star
Wheel (07) catches the lead edge of a label (08).
4. Tighten the Thumbscrews (05).
5. Trigger the Product Switch (09) to dispense a label.
6. It may be necessary to repeat steps 5 several times.
7. It may also be necessary to adjust the air assist blow tube pressure (See Air
Assist Tube on page 9)
NOTE: The position of the label relative to the peeling edge can also be adjusted via
the three-turn dial on the front panel marked “OFF DELAY” if your machine is
equipped with this feature. Release the lock (black tab) and turn clockwise for more
delay.
Fig 17
Page 19
Page 20
LABEL SENSING STAR WHEEL
The star wheel causes the applicator to stop dispensing a label. When the star
wheel is down on a flat side, it will slide over the label until the lead edge of the next
label contacts the point of the wheel causing the wheel to turn over. As it turns up
on a point and back down, the star wheel arm activates a small micro-switch
breaking the circuit, thus stopping the advance of the label web. If the star wheel
arm fails to activate the switch as it turns over the applier will dispense labels
continuously.
NOTE: If the unit is equipped with photoelectric label sensing or a clear label
sensor, the position of the sensors relative to the label is not critical in most cases.
The clear label sensor detects the difference in thickness from the label to the
backing material. Metalized graphics or alphanumeric characters will cause this
sensor to false trigger. Locate the sensor away from the path of metalized material.
Star Wheel Adjustment Procedures
Loosen the two screws (2 and 7), which hold the mounting plate (9) to the mounting
bracket (1). The screw hole (7) is slotted allowing the plate to move toward or away
from the label guide support plate (6). With the star wheel (5) laying flat against the
label web, move the mounting plate (9) in toward the label web as far as it will go.
Then slowly bring it back until the micro-switch (3) activates. (A small “click” will be
heard when this occurs). Tighten the screws (2 and 7) to hold the plate in this
position. To be sure that tightening the screws did not change the position of the
plate, check by raising the star wheel off the label web. A “click” should be heard
when the star wheel is raised and also when it is lowered. A further check should be
made by pulling the label web under the star wheel until it starts to turn up on a
point. A “click” should be heard at this point and also as the star wheel drops back
down onto a flat side. Be sure that the spring (8) is attached to the star wheel arm
(4) as this assures a firm contact of the star wheel to the label.

1. Remove one label from the liner to a get a bigger liner area.
2. Move the liner underneath the sensor cross hairs. Push and hold “Auto SET”
button until the green “READY” light turns off. Let go of the button.
3. The “READY” light will begin to flash.
4. Now move the label underneath the cross hairs. Push and hold ”AUTO SET”
button until green “Ready” light turns off. Let go of the button.
5. The “READY” light will now be on solid. The set procedure is now complete. If
you make a mistake or something went wrong, you can repeat the procedure.
6. If the sensor is set up correctly, the “OUT” light should come on in the label gap.
To make sure that it does, move the label around under the cross hairs to see if it
false detects called “hot spots” anywhere on the label.
7. If the sensor detects “hot spots” on the label, repeat steps 1-5 again. This time
when you put the label underneath the sensor put the specific “hot spot” under
the cross hairs.
8. Turning the power on or off does not affect sensitivity. Once the sensor is
programmed the values are burned into the chip inside the sensor.

SECTION 3 MAINTENANCE
STARWHEEL MAINTENANCE
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. If the points are dull, sharpen by placing the assembly flat on a
piece of crocus cloth or other very fine emery clothes or paper. (See illustration
below). Gently hone the points by moving the assembly in one direction until all the
points are sharp, i.e.. If you do 10 strokes on one side, do 10 strokes on the other
three sides. This will keep the starwheel concentric. Lightly oil the wheel, making
sure it turns freely before reinstalling.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The Drive Roll (Drawing L60-I-00D #06) should be kept clean to avoid slippage.
This can affect the label transfer onto the Vacuum Head. Clean with lacquer thinner,
alcohol or similar cleaner to remove glue build-up.
Fig 24
The Rewind Assembly should be set just tight enough to rewind the waste web.
Adjusting the tension of the Rewind Assembly is accomplished by:
1. Loosening the nut that secures the Slip Clutch Spring Retainer (See Fig 25 below)
2. With a flat head screwdriver, turn the Slip Clutch Spring Retainer clockwise for
more tension, or counter clockwise for less tension.

Page 25
Page 26
TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)
Should malfunctions occur, the following procedure should determine where the
problem is:
1. Remove label web from the machine.
2. Turn the switches “ON”.
3. Trip the product-sensing switch. The drive roll should start turning.
4. Slide the label web down under the star wheel, or (through the photo electric or
clear label sensor) until the star wheel turns up on a point and back down. The drive
roll should stop turning. If the L60 is equipped with photoelectric label sensing or a
clear label sensor, pass the label through the opening until the motor stops.
Drive Roll does not START, check the following:
1. Is the product-sensing switch plugged in side panel?
2. Is the product sensing switch malfunctioning? Check for make and break of
switch; listen for relay operation of electric eye.
3. Is the power module plugged into its receptacle securely? The power module is
found on the back of the front panel, inside the machine, and can be seen by
removing the top cover.
Drive Roll fails to STOP when star wheel turns over:
1. Remove three screws and pull off star wheel cover (See page 13). Lift up and let
down star wheel by hand; if drive roller still turns, remove spring from pin on star
wheel arm and pull Star Wheel Pivot Arm Assembly off. Activate the switch by hand.
If drive roll still turns, check for make and break with ohmmeter, and replace if
necessary.
2. Check quick disconnect connections for proper contact.
3. If Drive Roll stops when the switch is operated by hand, replace the star wheel
and adjust the star wheel assembly by loosening the two screws that hold the
backing plate and move it to a position where the star wheel will open the switch
when it turns on a point. (See page 12 for star wheel adjustment procedures).
If these adjustments fail to correct the problem, reset the power module. This can
be accomplished by removing front panel. Make sure that you ground yourself
before touching the circuit board. Static electricity can damage the board. Place
fingers on each side of circuit board. (DO NOT TOUCH ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS ON BOARD.) Move board side to side and push down to be sure
board is seated in contacts on bottom.
Page 26
Page 27
TROUBLESHOOTING (continued)
1. Is machine receiving power from power source? Check the outlet with a
voltmeter.
2. Are all electrical connections in place and tight?
3. Does motor and drive train turn freely? (Turn machine off and turn drive roll by
hand.)
4. Is machine webbed correctly? (Check webbing diagram)
5. Are drive roll and star wheel clean and operating properly?
6. Is any wiring frayed, chafed, or broken?
7. Is Belt Tensioner Assembly at correct tension? (Taunt)
8. Are adjusting screws and studs tight?
9. Are pulleys tight on shafts? Tighten set screws carefully avoid stripping threads.
And /or Allen wrench receptacle.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Registration)
Normally, at average speeds, the Applicator will hold registration to within plus or
minus 1/32nd inch.
Variations of more than those limits are normally caused by:
Problem 1:
Label web binding.
Solution:
Check Web Guides (Drawing L60-I-60D #09 & #10) and Unwind Assembly
(Drawing UWA-13R-I-00), for proper clearance. Is peeler tape worn? (Drawing
L60-I-30D #29)
Problem 2:
Drive Roll glazed (Drawing L60-I-00D #06) and slippery or covered with labels or
glue.
Solution:
Clean with mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, alcohol, or other solvent.
Problem 3:
Drive Roll not parallel to Lower Idler Roller (Drawing L60-I-00D #06 & L60-I-10D
#05).
Solution:
Turn motor switch “off” and remove label web from Drive Roll and Idler Roller. Push
the Drive Roll away from the idler Roller and place two narrow strips of paper
between the Drive Roll and Idler Roller at each end of the drive roll. Release the
Drive Roll. The two strips, now trapped between the rolls, should have the same
“drag” when the strips are pulled in opposite directions. If not, adjustment is made
by loosening two bolts on the outside back of the machine, at the opposite end of
the Drive Roll Shaft and moving forward and back as required.

Variables Affecting Vacuum Head Performance
C = as small as possible w/o the Vacuum Head hitting the Peeler Plate (typically 1/32”).
V = Enough Vacuum Pressure to hold the Label on w/o inhibiting label advance.
O = enough to deflect label slightly downward (typically 1/32”).
P = Enough Air Pressure to force label up and onto Vacuum Head.
α = Direct Air Assist Tube so Leading edge of label remains in contact with Vacuum
Head during label advancement.
