1. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE
The Top Down Bottom Up machine consists of a split belt conveyor, a bottom up label applicator, at top
down label applicator, with frame and control panel. Both label applicators function in the same way:
Incoming packages are detected by a photoeye (bottom and top are separate photoeyes). This starts a
count of the conveyor which equals the movement of the package on the conveyor. This is referred to
as the “label delay” and is in inches of conveyor movement. When the labels delay is complete the
label begins to dispense. The label feeds at the rate of speed determined by the label ratio. A ratio of
1.0 is the same speed as the conveyor (and package) movement. The label continues to feed until a
gap between labels is detected. This starts the “Gap” or “Flag” delay, which is also measured in inches.
When the gap delay is complete the label stops feeding. Brushes or other devices are used to wipe
down the label on the package as it travels through.

SCREEN SETTINGS
Main
Screen
1. Batch count displays the current count of
containers. Reset starts the count at 0.
2. Main Speed can be entered in
inches/minute.
. The buttons on the right take you to the
screen named on the button.
Label Settings
(Top and Bottom Label identical
)
1. Label feed can be turned on or off.
2. Labels can be jogged while the machine is
stopped.
. Label delay is in inches of travel after the
container is detected by the photoeye.
4. Gap delay is in inches of label feed after
the gap is detected by the gap sensor.
5. Most Models include a Label Ratio, this is
a label speed adjustment relative to the
conveyor speed.
Timer Settings
1. Label Timeout Delay: If no labels are
present in the gap sensor the machine will
shut down after this time delay.
2. Gap Timeout Delay: If a label begins to
feed and no gap is detected in this time
the machine will stop.
Both of these functions must be enabled
on the System settings screen.
System Settings
1. Coder Dwell is the length of time the
signal to fire the coder in 1/100 sec.
2. Date Coder can be turned on and off,
which is the power for the Coder.
. The Gap Error and Label Error can be
bypassed of enable, and if enabled uses
the times form the Timer page to produce
the error.
Spe
eds and Ratios
These are duplicate entry fields for the
Main speed from the Main screen and the
Label ratios from the Top Label and
Bottom Label screen.
Recipe Functions
Enter the Recipe number you want to save or
retrieve. Then “Get Recipe” to load the numbers
into the PLC. “Save Recipe” will store the current
active numbers in the PLC into that recipe
number. Keep in mind that the active numbers
stay in the PLC despite the recipe number
changing back to “1” through a power cycle.
SECTION TWO – UNCRATING AND INSTALLATION
2.1 POWER AND AIR CONNECTIONS
A grounded electrical male plug is provided with the machine, and is connected to the main electrical enclosure
on the side of the machine. Plug this into any grounded receptacle. On machines with coders or that require air,
an air filter/reservoir with a ¼” male quick disconnect fitting attached, is provided underneath the main
electrical enclosure on machines that require compressed air. You can supply compressed air to the machine by
either a mating quick disconnect on the end of an air hose, or you can permanently pipe air to the machine using
standard pipe and connecting directly into the air filter using threaded pipe connections. If you permanently
pipe air into the system we recommend a cut-off valve be mounted at the machine. Some changeover
adjustments are easier if the operator is able to temporarily turn off the air pressure.
2.2 INSTALLING IN PRODUCTION LINE
Move the machine into its permanent location. Adjust the conveyor height of the machine to match the heights
of the adjoining machines as required. Leveling Pads are provided with the Labeler that allow some vertical
adjustment. If necessary, make spacing blocks to raise the height. Approximately 12 inches of lineal space (as a
standard, extensions are available) is provided on each end of the machine to allow a crossover from or to the
next machine. Butt the conveyor ends as close to each other as possible and then use conveyor rails to guide the
bottles across narrow dead plates onto the conveyor.
2. LEVELING BASE MACHINE
Once the machine is installed, level the main conveyor through the machine by using a bubble level. Place the
bubble level along the length of the machine and also perpendicular to the conveyor at the label station.
Leveling the machine is important to the quality of labeling since this will affect the web path and container
path. Verification that the machine is square and level will ensure proper operation.
2.4 ADJUSTING COMPONENTS OF MACHINE
LEVELING LABEL HEAD/SQUARING PEEL PLATE
Next, level the Label Head itself. This is best accomplished by using a small square (or a machined square finish).
Place the square on the conveyor and reference it to the end and side of the peel plate.
There are two bolts where the Label Head is mounted to the upright stand. The Label Head pivots around the
larger bolt. Loosen both bolts and tilt the label station to achieve the desired adjustment for side-to-side.
Underneath the label station is a turnbuckle adjustment. The Label Station Plate pivots at the point of
connection to the upright and when lengthening or shortening the turnbuckle, the front-to-back adjustment of
the Peel Plate is changed. Adjust the Label Station to move the Label Head until the end of the Peel Plate and
the side of the Peel Plate are both square to the conveyor at the point of labeling. This will ensure that the label
is feeding off the Peel Plate in a straight fashion onto the product
