predetermined length.

3-2-2 Machine table: To use for holding base machine and fixing the
conveyor.

3-2-3 Shrinking stove using the electric heat to shrink the label laid on each
roll, and to stick the label on the container evenly.

3-2-4 Driving section: This section which is controlled by one set of

synchromesh servo motor drives the thermoshrinkable tubular label in
predetermined length.

3-2-5 Separating container section: The containers are sent in predetermined

distance by screw to make sure the containers being separated on the same
distance for putting the tubular label on the container in proper position.

3-2-6 Container fixing section: By using two sides synchromesh movement,

only one wheel each for adjusting the height and tightness, to make sure the
containers will not revolve or shake during conveying and to set the proper
height of label on the container.

3-2-7 Preshrinking stove: Making part of the label preshrink to be fixed on the
container, for avoiding the label sliding down or being bias.

3-2-8 Insertion guide: Let the thermo shrinkable tubular label web be fed on
the insertion guide and get ready to be sent and be cut in predetermined
length.

3-2-9 Photo sensor section: Send singles to the control system for conveying
the label in proper length. Adjusting the place of photo sensor to make sure
the cutting position of the blades is correct.

3-2-10 Brush section: To path the thermo shrinkable tubular label to the
predetermined place on the container by suing the strings or rubber band.

3-2-11 Laying section: Using synchromesh adjustment to adjust two sets of

laying wheels to touch the bottom of the insertion guide lightly. These wheels
rotate more quickly to lay the label on the container when the label pass
them.

3-2-12 Label web holder: The length of label web could be set as 5 inches or
10 inches. And one set of conveying wheels controlled by gear motor conveys
the label.

3-2-13 Conveyer section: Using the inverter to adjust the speed of convey
belt, then the operator can easily control the different production quantity.
Moreover, separation container section, container fixing section, and this
conveyer section can be adjusted in the same time, just by one button. It
really simples the adjustment of the production speed and brings more
convenience.

3-2-14 Photo sensor of the container’s fixer: This photo sensor will send a
message to lay the label on the container, when the container is on the proper
position.

3-2-15 Feeding roller: When the machine is normal, the green light will be on.
When there is no label, the yellow light will flash. When the machine is
abnormal, the red light will flash. And there will be a warning sound going with
the red light and the yellow light.

4-1-1 Shown as picture 4-1, put the label web on the label web holder, then
equip the press plate and press it to screw on the holder screws tightly.

4-1-2 Convey the label on the direction shown as this picture, and turn the
rotating wheels to right to open them for the label can passing them easily.

4-1-3 Passing the label through the wheels as the picture showing and then
the label will cover on the top of the insertion guide.

4-1-4 Before lay the label on the insertion guide body, please open the upper
wheels of the insertion guide, and then lift the bottom of the insertion guide by
your left hand to let the main wheels to break away from the guide body a
little. Then pull the label through the cutting blades place by your right hand,
at last pull the insertion guide to the normal place with your left hand.

4-1-5 After the insertion guide is back to the normal place, put the upper
wheels to the normal place, too. And just let them touch the insertion guide
lightly. And now the job of installation label is completed.

4-2 Test: (Please refer chapter Eight: Exposition of fuzzy control panel)

4-2-1 First of all, get into the Manual movement page, and then touch
“feeding” of “Feeder motor” and touch “cutting” of “cutting blade” for testing
the cutting situation at least two or three times. Cut the abnormal label away.
Be careful that you have to touch “cutting” of “cutting blade” before you want
to get into the Automatic movement page.

5-2 Adjusting to the wrong position of label

5-2-1 Adjusting the location of the photo sensor holder upper or lower to get
the proper location.

5-2-2 If the top of label is too long, move the photo sensor holder to the upper
location.

5-2-3 If the bottom of label is too long, move the photo sensor holder to the
lower location.

5-3 Setting up the sensibility of the photo sensor

5-3-1 Different standards of color, depth and light of color may still exist,
although our engineers have set up the sensibility of photo sensor while
installing the machine. But when you change to different kind of label, the
sensibility of the photo sensor may be too high or too low, the it’ll cause the
abnormal situation of the label being laid. If the sensibility is too high, it will
cause the length of the label being too short. If the sensibility is too low, it will
cause the length of label being too long. If you have situations above, you
should adjust the sensibility of photo sensor to get the proper position of the
label.

5-3-2 When you adjust the sensibility of the photo sensor, please pull the
label near the photo sensor. And make sure the photo sensor aims at the
transparent part of the label, and then check if the green light of the photo
sensor is OFF. If you move the label up and down, but the green light still is
ON when the photo sensor aims at the transparent part, then you should
adjust the sensibility button till the green light is off and the red light is ON.

5-3-3 Adjust till the red and green lights be on in principle. As some printing
part of label can let the light pass through easily, that will cause the photo
sensor getting a wrong message and making the label be laid abnormally. At
this time, if the green light is not on, then you should adjust the sensibility
button till the green light is ON.

5-3-4 Please repeat the above steps to get the proper sensibility of photo
sensor.

11
6. Adjustment for laying label on the container and the sensibility of the
container’s space fixer.

6-1 Laying label on the container

6-1-1 When a container on the conveyer passes the photo sensor, the driving
section will drive a label down, and the laying section will lay this label on the
container. At this time, if the above photo sensor isn’t on the proper position,
the label won’t be put on the container smoothly.

6-2 Picture for the direction of adjusting photo sensor.

6-2-1 Please refer picture 6-2, if the label laid to the container is the same as
“A”. Please move the photo sensor from “A” to “B”; if the label laid to the
container is the same as “C”, please move the photo sensor from “C” to “B”.
Adjust the photo sensor till the situation is the same as container “B”.

6-3 Description for adjusting the sensibility of the container’s space fixer:
6-3-1The photo sensor of this container’s space fixer contains the main
body and the reflective mirror. The main body is located on the rail, and it can
be moved, but the reflective mirror is fixed under the cutting section. The
main body casts the light on the reflective mirror, and then the light reflects
12
from the reflective mirror to the main body, and there will be a single to notify
the laying section if it should lay a label down.

6-3-2 When there isn’t any container between the main body and the
reflective mirror, the light on the main body should be “ON”. If the light is
“OFF” at this time, please adjust the sensibility button by using a small screw
driver, till the light be “ON”.

6-3-3 When there is a container between the main body and the reflective
mirror, the light casts by the main body is blocked by the container, the light
on the main body should be “OFF”. If the light is “ON” at this time, it means
the light cast by the main body.

6-3-4 Please repeat the above steps to make sure the sensor works correctly.

6-3-5 When there isn’t any container between the main body and the
reflective mirror, but there still be no light reflected from the reflective mirror,
the unusual light will be “ON” at this moment. Check whether there is strange
stuff between the main reflective mirror before running the machine
automatically.
