6 2 Product Description 6
2.1 Function Description
The applicator SQ 1000 is an additional module for the label printer of the SQUIX series and is used for the automatic
transfer of labels, printed in real-time, onto a product.

The transfer of the label to the product can occur via three methods:
• Stamp on
The label is applied to the resting product by the stamp on pad.
• Blow on
The blow on pad is moved into a predefined position of max 10mm from the product. The label is blown onto the
moving or stationary product.
• Roll on
The label is moved from the printer along the pad to the roller. In the labeling position the label is pulled from the
pad and rolled onto the moving product.

2.2 Important Features

• The supporting air and the vacuum as well as the speed of the cylinder are adjustable. That way the applicator
can be adapted to different label materials and sizes.
• To avoid contamination within the vacuum channels they are cleaned by air pressure pulses at the end of each
application.
• For operation within a system the I/O interface of the printer can be used.

5 Operation 17
5.1 Test Mode without a Print Job

Fig. 16 Display

By alternating between buttons and on the display it is possible to simulate the labeling process
without an active printing job.

X Push button .
This causes the feed of an empty label. Simultaneously the vacuum of the pad as well as the supporting air are
activated. As soon as the label has securely arrived at the pad the supporting air is switched off.
X Push button .
When pushing this button the cylinder Z is extended into the labeling position. Reaching the labeling position is
signalized by the triggering of the impact sensor. With that signal the vacuum is stopped and the label is applied
to the product. With the application of the label the cylinder is contracted back into the starting position.

i Note!
X Use the printer configuration to find the best peel-off offset for the initiation.

5.2 Test Mode with a Print Job

This method allows testing of the labeling process with actual printing data by using the button.

X Send a print job.

The test mode is executed in two half cycles:
X Push the button.
Half cycle 1
A label is printed. The vacuum of the pad as well as the supporting air (blow tube) are switched on. When the
label has been picked up by the pad, the supporting air is switched off.
X Push the button.
Half cycle 2
The pad is moved to the labelling position. The triggered impact sensor signals when the labelling position is
reached. The vacuum is switched off as soon as the label is placed onto the product. Then, the pad is moved
back into the starting position.

If the label is removed by hand after half cycle 1 has been completed and the button is pressed, half cycle
1 will be repeated with the next label in the printing line.

i Note!
X Use the software to find the best peel-off offset for the initiation.
18 5 Operation 18
5.3 Standard Operation
X Before starting the labeling process ensure that all connections are securely established.
X Load printing and labeling material. Ensure that the locking system is closed. „5.1 Inserting Materials“.
X Open the compressed air shut-off valve.

! Attention!
X Before switching on the printer ensure that the pad is not blocked by a label as this may cause the
vacuum sensor to be configured incorrectly.
X Switch on the printer.

i Note!
If the pad is not in the starting position when the printer is switched on an error message will appear on the
display.
Press the pause button on the printer to cancel the error state. The applicator will move into the start
position and is ready for work.

X Push button in the printer menu.

A synchronization feed is initiated. The processed labels have to be removed manually. After a few seconds the
printer carries out a short backfeed to position the front edge of the next label at the printing line.

i Note!

This synchronization also has to be carried out when the print job has been interrupted with the cancel
button.
Synchronizing is not necessary when the print head was not lifted between print jobs. This also applies if
the printer was powered down between print jobs.

X Start a print job.

X Start the labelling process via PLC interface.
Error messages during labelling process are shown in the display of the printer.

Parameter Meaning Default

Cycle sequence Setting the application mode Print-Apply / Apply-Print Print-Apply
Print-Apply:
An external start signal releases the print of a label and following the
application of the label. After a cycle is complete, the pad without label
waits in the start position.
Apply-Print:
An extra signal FSTLBL starts the print of the first label and the transfer
of the label to the pad. The external start signal releases the application
of the label and following the print and transfer of the next label.
After a cycle is complete, the pad with a label is in the waiting position.
Automatic FSTLBL ¾ only with Cycle sequence = Apply-print Off
The FSTLBL signal is triggered automatically in subsequence to a print
job been started.

The setting can also be adjusted by the software.
The settings of configuration and software are added together.
Support delay on Setting the switch-on delay (max. 2,5 s) for the supporting air between 0 ms
print start and switching on the supporting air. The delay prevents
swirling at the front of the label and, consequently, avoids faults when
the label is being picked up from the printer.
Support delay off Setting the switch-off delay (max. 2,5 s) for the supporting air between 270ms
the end of label forwarding and switching on the supporting air. The
delay can be useful to separate the rear edge of the label from the
carrier to avoid errors and to improve the accuracy of label positioning
