Getting Started - Labelmate CAT-3 Manual Del Usuario

Getting started

STEP 1: INSTALL THE TAKE-UP SHAFT
• STANDARD, 1-INCH AND 10-INCH(FIG.1): Slide the Flange Plate onto the hollow end of the Rewind Shaft. For maximum
width, the Flange face should be flush with the end of the Shaft. Tighten the screw in the Hub.
• CHUCK (FIG.2): Mount the inner Flange onto the Quick-Chuck with two screws provided.
• Slide the Shaft and Flange Assembly onto the CAT Motor Shaft allowing for clearance to the Chassis and Motor Screws.
Tighten the set Screw onto the flat part of the Motor Shaft until it is tight.
• ACH (FIG.3): Slide the Hub of the ACH over the motor Shaft of the CAT. Position the Hub so there is a gap between the
ACH Hub and the Rewinder Drive Unit case. Tighten the set Screw onto the flat part of the Motor Shaft until it is tight.
• Set the CAT in place near the label exit slot of the printer
• CAUTION: THE CAT- WEIGHS OVER 10KG, SO CHOOSE ONLY A STURDY SURFACE ON WHICH TO SET THE UNIT.
• Verify that the "DIRECTION" Switch on the CAT-3 Control Panel is in the "OFF" position.
• Plug the Power Supply in a suitable power outlet and connect the CAT who is now ready for use
USING THE ACH (FIG.3)
• Loosen the three (A) Lock Levers on the back of the ACH Flange Plate (B)
• Grasp the front Flange Plate (C) with one hand and the rear Flange Plate (B) with the other.
• Rotate the Plates in opposite directions until the three Core Fingers (D) move to the center of the ACH next to
each other.
• Slide an empty cardboard core only partway over the Fingers (D) leave about 50mm between the flange and the core
• Now rotate the Flange plates in opposite directions to expand the Fingers against the inside of the cardboard core.
While you hold the Flanges so the Fingers are against the inside of the core, rotate one of the Locking Levers clockwise
until it is fixed. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
• Move the other two (2) Locking Levers to the LOCK position. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
• Now slide the core all the way on up against the inside Flange. If the core is too tight, loosen the Lock Levers and try
again sliding the core a little further over the Fingers to yield less tightness.
REWIND ON A CARDBOARD CORE
• Place the "DIRECTION" Switch on the CAT-3 Control Panel in the centre "OFF" position.
• Slide an empty label core over the Quick-Chuck or Vanes on the shaft until the core is against the inner Flange Plate. On
the Quick-Chuck, tighten the Lock Knob
• If desired, slide the outer label Flange Plate (with Ball Plunger in the Hub) onto the Shaft and up against the label core.
• Feed the label web from the printer and secure it to the take-up roll core with tape. Rotate the take-up reel a couple of
turns.
• Place the CAT-3 "TORQUE RANGE" Switch in the "NORMAL" / ("REWIND") position. NOTE: When the "TORQUE RANGE"
Switch is in the "HIGH (SLIT)" position, the CAT-3 develops higher torque. Use the "HIGH (SLIT)" position for label slitting
or rewinding large diameter rolls.
• Rotate the "TORQUE" Control Knob to the minimum position (fully counter-clockwise).
• Place the CAT-3 "DIRECTION" Switch in the position desired to run left or right.
• Start the printer and adjust the "TORQUE" Control Knob for the desired take-up tension.
• Use the minimum "TORQUE" setting needed to rewind labels properly. Excessive torque might pull the labels too hard
and cause the printer to lose registration.
