A heavy duty stepper motor drive replaces the AC motor and clutch-brake thereby eliminating these wear components. The controller is programmable for various speed settings. Maximum 12" O.D. label roll is standard. It has a maximum web width of 7", a maximum label width of 6 7/8" and a minimum label size of ½" X ½". It includes a photo electric label sensor. Applicators can bolt-on making them interchangeable should the nature of the application change.

Model 3000S Controls Package:

The labeling head comes equipped with a proprietary control and removable circuit board combination. The circuit board has been upgraded to include a microprocessor board with digital potentiometers mounted to the front face plate for product delay and label stop.

The follower version is available for use with the optional encoder to mount on the product handling. This will track the product speed and adjust the web dispense speed on the head. The encoder is purchased separately.

Model 3000S Label Sensor Options:
Photocell/Light Source
The head comes equipped with a photo cell and light source as standard. Sensitivity is adjusted through the main control on the labeling head. It is installed for peeling tip sensing
Clear Label Sensor
A clear label sensor package is available. This is used for label material with no clear reference edge or register mark on the web. This package is also available as an after market conversion. Sensitivity is adjusted directly at the sensor.
Model 3000S Web Width Options:
7" Web Width Capacity:
Standard
Wide Web Width Capacity
This option increases the width of the unwind, peeler bar, and rewind assemblies. It is available in the following widths:
Up to 10" wide web Powered Rewind option is required.
Up to 12" wide web Powered Rewind option is required.
Up to 15" wide web Powered Rewind option is required.
Space Saver This option decreases the width of the unwind, peeler bar and rewind assemblies. The width is customized to order down to a ¾" min web width.
Model 3000S Unwind Options:
12" Unwind
Standard
16" Unwind Disc Assembly
By upgrading to a 16" unwind capacity run time can increase by more than 80% before a changeover is required. Features include:
1) Full rewind capability. The design also allows for the used core to be inserted on to the rewind mandrel. This makes removal of the additional waste easy.
2) The Powered Rewind option is required. The separately driven motor is needed to maintain high application rates and take up the complete web from the roll.
3) Fully engineered and supported by dual ball bearings and enclosed in the main head cabinet. The unwind is not simply removed from the head.
20" Powered Unwind and Powered Rewind Assembly
By upgrading to a 20" unwind capacity run time can increase by almost 3 times before a changeover is required. Features include:
1) Fully supported powered unwind to maintain web tension.
2) The Powered Rewind option is required. The separately driven motor is needed to maintain high application rates and take up the complete web from the roll.
3) Fully engineered and enclosed.
Dual Unwind Adapter
The dual unwind adaptor allows for a roll of labels to be staged on the labeling head to make change over faster. It is equipped with a low label sensor on the primary and secondary rolls to alter the operator of the roll status.
Model 3000S Rewind Options:
Rewind Slaved to Web Drive
The Model 3000S Apply Only labeling head is equipped with a rewind assembly that is slaved to the web drive as standard.

Powered Rewind
This option separates the rewind from the main drive and powers it from a separate AC motor. This option is used with wider webs to insure the mass of the waste roll is taken up. The powered rewind features a quick release feature for ease of waste removal.

 

Model 3000S Web Alarm Package Options:
Low Label Sensor
The low label sensor uses a diffused beam type sensor. The sensor is adjusted to look across the unwind roll of labels. On most machines the low label sensor will only illuminate an alarm light to provide a warning to the operator.

Web Break Sensor
This sensor detects the difference in color between the green drive roller and the color of the label backing material. As long as the backing material is in front of the drive roller the sensor does not detect a fault. If the web breaks or the labeler runs out of labels the end of the backing material will be pulled, by the rewind, off the drive roller. The sensor will then detect a fault and send a signal to the relay or PLC. On most labeling heads this will illuminate an alarm light.

The alarm package alerts the operator to a low label unwind or a broken web by illuminating a beacon.
