1. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF MACHINE
The Paradigm 700 is a completely new shift from current designs. It can be ordered as one configuration now and
easily changed in the future by replacing or adding bolt-on parts. The conveyor height, width, and length can be
reconfigured, along with the direction of the machine (left hand or right hand) and one of three labeling styles –
wrap, spin-in-place, or trunnion style. So changing your line layout or the packages you run does not make the
labeler you already purchased obsolete.
The machine is loaded with nice features; all stainless steel and aluminum construction, off-the-shelf components
rather than proprietary boards and motors, a stepper-driven applicator and a standard Touchscreen interface on all
models. All speeds on every 700 are synchronized together to avoid common labeling errors, and our Autoset
bottle measurement and recipe system ensure easy setups and changeovers. The Paradigm is capable of accuracy
to +/- 1/32” depending on the product.
The Paradigm Label Applicator is a fully automatic applicator capable of applying labels to a variety of products.
Products to be labeled are sensed as they pass a photo-eye. The photo-eye initiates a signal that is transmitted to
the PLC. After a fully adjustable delay, the label is dispensed onto the passing product. For flat panels a wipe
brush completes label application by wiping down the label onto the product. For round products, the bottle spins
between a powered belt and back compression pad, “wrapping” the label onto the round container. Controls
consist of a main power switch, and a Touchscreen operator interface which provides information and access to
the label delay, label gap delay, batch count, speeds and more.

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
2.5 ADJUSTING WIPING PAD
To adjust the Wrap Station, loosen the knobs on the brackets and slide the Wiping Pad back away from the
Wiping Belt. Place two containers at each end of the Wrap Station and slide the Wiping Pad in until there is light
pressure on the bottles with the leading end (closest to the Peel Plate) slightly more open than the opposite end
to ensure container enters the Wrap Station without hesitation. Make sure the Wiping Pad is square to your
container by adjusting the knobs that affect the angle of the Wiping Pad. Lock down the adjustment once
squareness has been achieved.
The most common reason for skew in the labels is that the Peel Plate is not square to the conveyor, and labels
are feeding out crooked in their relationship to the product.
