Glossary
Adhesive String:
Label adhesive that adheres to the label and the label liner while the label is dispensing. It can
cause the label to be improperly positioned on the tamp pad.
Air Assist:
The stream of air the air assist tube directs at the label to help it break free from the label liner
as it is dispensing.
Air Assist Tube:
A small tube located at the end of the peeler bar that directs a stream of air at the label in order
to help it break free from the label liner as it is dispensing.
Baud Rate:
The maximum rate of data transmission (in bits per second).
Continuous:
Products are not required to trigger a label application; completion of label printing triggers
label application.
Cycle Time:
The amount of time that it takes the machine to perform a complete machine sequence, starting
from the detection of the product.
Edge Detection:
The edge (front or back) of a product or label that will cause the detector to send a detection
signal.
Ganged Configuration:
A method for wiring together grouped applicators.
LED:
Light Emitting Diode
Label Feed:
The process for feeding the label stock through the machine.
Label Liner:
Backing paper the labels are affixed to before they are applied to the product.
Label Sensor:
The photoelectric sensor (pitch detector) that detects the presence of a label in the machine.
Label Size:
The length and width of the label. Length refers to the distance from the leading edge to the
trailing edge in the feed direction. Width refers to the measurement of the label perpendicular to
the length.
Label Stock:
The label liner with labels still attached.
Glossary

Leading Edge:
The first edge of the product that triggers the label application.
Lock Pin:
The metal piece that secures the label liner to the rewind mandrel.
Machine Sequence:
The sequence in which the machine executes all the steps necessary for a complete cycle.
Mandrel:
A shaft that can spin on its axis, on which another device is mounted.
Operating Mode:
The Printer-Applicator operates in Tamp-Blow Mode.
PSIG:
A measure of air pressure (Pounds per Square Inch Gauge). 1 bar = 14.7 PSI.
Parity:
A data bit that provides a means of checking for errors in the data stream.
Pneumatic:
Moved or operated by air pressure.
Product Delay:
The time delay before extending the tamp and firing the air blast to apply a label.
Product Detector:
A photoelectric device that detects the presence of a product edge and sends a signal to the
applicator controller.
Repeat Length:
The distance between the leading edge of one label to the leading edge of the next.
SCFM:
A measure of volume (Standard Cubic Feet Per Minute).
Static Stack:
A stack of labels that have been applied one on top of the other. When the applicator is setup
correctly, a static stack will have less than + or –1/16 of an inch variation in any direction.
Tamp:
A mechanical device that receives a printed label and moves the label to a position where it is
applied to a product.
Tamp Blow Mode:
Mode in which the tamp remains in the retracted position until an apply signal is received. Upon
receipt of an apply signal, the tamp extends, the air blast applies the label, and the tamp retracts
to receive the next label. Tamp Blow mode is most suitable for operations requiring the tamp to
reach into a recessed area on the product.
Tamp Retract Mode:
Mode that determines whether the tamp retracts at the start or the end of an air blast.
Trailing Edge:
The trailing edge of the product triggers label application.
VAC:
Volts AC (Alternating Current). Also designated as [~].
Glossary
Weber Packaging Solutions, Inc. vii
Vacuum Generator:
A device that uses compressed air to create vacuum.
VDC:
Volts DC (Direct Current).
Web:
The label liner with labels still attached that feeds into the machine.
