4.4 Adjusting for Bottle Size

The machine can accommodate bottles with diameters ranging from 12 mm to 90 mm. Adjust the bottle support and labeling mechanism to match the diameter of your bottles. Use the provided hex wrenches for adjustments.

• Loosen the adjustment screws for the bottle guides.
• Position the guides to securely hold the bottle in place without excessive pressure.
• Tighten the adjustment screws.
• Perform a test run with an empty bottle to verify proper alignment and smooth rotation.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Basic Operation

1. Ensure the machine is properly set up and labels are loaded.
2. Turn on the power switch.
3. Place a round bottle into the designated labeling position, ensuring it is seated correctly against the guides.
4. Activate the labeling process (e.g., by pressing a foot pedal or activation button, if applicable, or by manual initiation as per machine design).
5. The machine will apply the label to the bottle.
6. Remove the labeled bottle and repeat the process for subsequent bottles.

5.2 Adjusting Labeling Speed and Accuracy

The machine operates at a labeling speed of approximately 50 pieces per minute with an accuracy of +/- 0.5 mm. Specific controls for speed adjustment may be present on the control panel. Refer to the control panel interface for detailed speed and accuracy fine-tuning options.

Adjustable bottle labeling allows for different labeling positions before and after the parts, ensuring flexibility for various product designs. The labeling effect is designed to be free of bubbles and wrinkles, enhancing product presentation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your labeling machine.

6.1 Cleaning

• Daily: Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. Remove any label residue or dust.
• Weekly: Clean the label path and rollers to prevent adhesive buildup. Use a mild cleaning solution if necessary, applied to a cloth, not directly to the machine.
• Important: Always disconnect power before cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

6.2 Lubrication

Periodically check moving parts for smooth operation. Apply a small amount of machine oil to pivot points and gears as recommended in the detailed maintenance schedule (if provided separately) to ensure smooth movement and reduce wear.

6.3 Component Inspection

Regularly inspect the following components for wear or damage:

• Label rollers and guides
• Power cable for any fraying or damage
• Switches and control buttons
• Bottle support mechanisms

Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately. Contact customer support for genuine replacement parts.
