Operational safety of the unit

Proper usage

Applicators of type LA-BO are additional units for NOVEXX Solutions print & apply systems or la-

bellers. The applicators take self-adhesive labels from the dispenser mechanism and stick these

onto moving or non-moving products. The company operating the unit must install it with suitable

equipment to protect operating personnel from danger; for example, the danger of hands or fingers

being crushed by reaching in between the product and the dispensing edge.

Protection against injuries by electrical current

Applicators of type LA-BO operate using low voltage 24 V DC supplied by NOVEXX Solutions

print & apply systems or labellers.

APPLICATION NOTES

Intended Purpose

Applicators of type LA-BO are additional units for print-and-apply or labelling heads that are listed

in the section Machine type on page 10. They take self-adhesive labels from the dispenser mech-

anism and stick these onto moving or non-moving products.

The LA-BO is mounted to the print-and-apply (ALX 92x) or labelling head (ALS 20x/256) by means

of an included base plate. The applicator is controlled by the optional Applicator Interface (AI) board

(mandatory for ALX and optional for ALS) or by the Internal Applicator Interface (ALS only). The

electrical connection to the LA-BO is done via a plug connector. The drive is provided by com-

pressed air.

Remark: The optional Applicator Interface (AI) board is not included with the LA-BO and has to be

ordered separately with the print-and-apply or labelling head.

The application process is triggered by means of a product sensor, which is also connected to the

AI-board.

Installation position

Permissible installation positions for the LA-BO are:

•Vertical, if application takes place from top to bottom (also referred to as “top labelling”: the

product is located below the applicator) or from bottom to top (also referred to as “bottom label-

ling”: the product is located above the applicator).

•Horizontal (also referred to as “side labelling”: the product is located next to the applicator)

System Requirements

Machine type

The LA-BO can be operated on the following machines:

By ordering the specified part number, you will receive a LA-BO applicator with installation material

and connection cables, suitable for installation on the device type listed at the beginning of the line.

The Applicator Interface (AI) board is not part of the delivery and has to be ordered separately.

Device Part number LA-BO Controller Notes

ALX 924/925/926 LH A8679 AI a / b / c

a) Use of the AI is mandatory for ALX.

b) The Applicator Interface (AI) is not contained in the scope of delivery and has to be ordered

separately with the ALX or ALS unit. A5032 : AI factory installed, A5207: AI Upgrade kit.

c) ALX 924/925/926 has to be equiped with standard dispensing edge.

d) Use of the AI is optional for the ALS. The Internal applicator interface of the ALS can be used

also, but limits the use of PLC signals.

e) ALS 20x/256/256 has to be equiped with L-shape fixed dispensing edge.

Operating Manual LA-BO

Firmware

• Required version of the ALX 92X firmware: V3.30 or later.

• Required version of the ALS 20X/256 firmware: V1.17 or later.

The printer-dispenser must be equipped with an Application Interface (AI) board version V1.11 or

later.

Start signal

The start signal must be connected to the Product sensor input of the AI interface. When the Inter-

nal Applicator interface on the ALS is used, the startsignal must be connected to the M12-connector

“ Start” .

See service manual ALX 92x/ALS 20X/256/256, ‘Applicator Interface’ topic section, chapter ‘In-

terface signals’, ‘Product Sensor’. For using the M12 connector on ALS see Service manual ALS

20x/256 ‘ Connecting the sensors’.

Properties

LA-BO = Label Applicator – Blow On.

The applicator is driven by compressed air. The label is held to the aluminium grid on the bottom

side of the applicator by an inwards airflow created by a fan on the side of the applicator.

Mode of Operation

The fan in the LA-BO is continuously powered, creating a strong inwards airflow through the alu-

minium vacuum grid at the bottom side. While a label is dispensed, the small blow pipe is activated,

creating a small focused air stream to force the label against the aluminium grid. When the label is

fully dispensed, it is held onto the aluminium grid by the inwards airflow and is then stand-by to blow

off the label. When the application cycle is triggered by the product sensor, a high volume air pres-

sure is applied through the air nozzles built-in above the aluminium grid. The nozzles which are

not covered by the black sliding bars will now blow off the label towards the product at a high ve-

locity. After that, the next label can be dispensed on the grid.
