Universal L60 User Manual

Featuring solid-state circuitry and an AC Synchronous Motor, the L60 is a high performance, 
low maintenance label applicator.  The L60 applicator is designed to apply a pressure 
sensitive label to a product through the action of an air-cylinder-mounted, or blow-on, 
vacuum head.  The labeling process can be automatic when interfaced with a conveyor, or 
semi-automatic with a table-based product fixture.  When triggered, the L60 Tamp vacuum 
head extends to meet the product.  When the air cylinder returns the vacuum head to the 
home position, another label is indexed onto the head and is waiting to be applied to the 
next product. The L60 BLOW vacuum head blows the label onto the product, and another 
label is indexed and ready for the next product. 

There are two switches on the front panel of the applicator.  The Main switch turns the 
power on or off, and if a Hot Stamp Coder is used, will allow it to heat up.  The Motor switch 
controls the motor that turns the drive roller and waste rewind.  Fig 1 

The product can be detected on the leading or trailing edge. To change from leading to 
trailing edge, set switch 4 of the power module to the ON position.  (See lower left of 
Drawing L15-D-02) 

There are many different label compositions, so there is no one set of machine settings (air 
pressure, etc.), which will work on all types of labels.  The following recommended air 
regulator settings will give the operator a place to start. 

Set the air cylinder pressure to about 15 psi. The vacuum pump input pressure will vary 
according to label density and size, which you can start at 5-10 psi.  Turning the regulator 
knobs on the side of the machine can regulate air pressures.  Fig 1
