The Tharo PA1200T Tamp Applicator is an accessory designed to
automate the label printing and application process.
By allowing for height, width and depth adjustments,
the Tharo PA1200T can accommodate nearly any direct thermal
or thermal transfer label printer. The labels are
applied with a tamp pad by means of a pneumatic
cylinder that moves between the starting position
and the labeling position. A switching device, such
as a foot switch, optical sensor or PLC
(Programmable Logic Controller) can be connected to
the applicator's PLC port to initiate and control
the print and apply cycle.
Also available, are the specialized tamp and
tamp/blow alternatives. The specialized tamp allows
for applying very smalls labels that otherwise could
not be applied. The tamp/blow alternative allows
labels to be applied to objects that are not flat,
such as cylinders, etc. This is accomplished by
stopping the tamp before it makes contact with the
product, and blowing the label on.
The head mount assembly travels to the dispense edge
of the printer where it uses a vacuum to pick up the
label. The tamp pad has several holes on the
bottom side to allow air to flow and pull the label
to it, while a blow bar is used to blow additional
air and push the label to the tamp pad.
A vacuum sensor ensures controlled label handling
and positioning on the pad. The pad is then moved
down into the labeling position, where it triggers
the down position sensor. From this position, the
pad makes controlled contact with the product and
the label is released from the pad. Sensors on the
tamp detect the height (or width in side-apply
situations) of the product which can vary by as much
as 10 inches, and adjusts accordingly to apply the
label.
The Tharo PA1200T has 2 rows of LEDs which are used to
display status and error conditions. If the vacuum
sensor does not detect a label on the tamp pad when
the cylinder starts its apply motion, or if it
detects a vacuum blockage while starting its return
motion, an error will be displayed and the apply
cycle will pause. Operation will also stop as a
result of other printer errors, such as Out of
Ribbon or Labels. The LEDs can also be used to
display the firmware version in the controller.
The Tharo PA1200T applicator's firmware can be upgraded by
connecting the applicator controller to the serial
port on a PC.
There are two buttons on the side of the applicator.
The red Reset button serves the same purpose as
powering down the printer/applicator. The black
One-Step button is used to manually break the print
and apply sequence into two separate steps. This
will allow for easy re-sequencing of the applicator
after a paper out, ribbon out and/or other error
conditions.
