QUADREL LABELING SYSTEMS
Q55 7” LABELING HEAD

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Q55 has been developed as a heavy duty automatic labeling head system for
integration into high speed, high rate production environments. The labeling head
can be configured for either wrap or wipe on applications. The Q55 labeler features
the M3 microprocessor control, insuring accurate and drift free label application. The
Q55 uses a high-torque stepping motor for web drive. The stepper motor drive
system is indexed directly from the M3 controller. This allows for precise adjustment
and calibration for any number of applications. In addition, a built in system of fault
logic can easily interface with a host of optional sensors.
PRINCIPLE OF FUNCTION
The Q55 labeling head applies pressure sensitive labels onto moving products.
Various principles are involved to achieve accurate label application. In general, a
labeling system integrates three (3) basic functions:
Product Handling: The most common product handling component is the

conveyor. Conveyors allow the product to transport smoothly through the
labeling station. The Q55 labeler can be supplied either as a stand alone
head (head on a stand) or integrated into a complete conveying/product
handling system.
Label Application: Usually the label is "tacked" directly to the product

during the label dispensing cycle. Secondary label applicators such as
brushes, roller or wrap belts are used to finish the label application and to
ensure good adhesion.
Label Dispensing: The labeling head uses a DC step motor to dispense

the label. The label dispensing cycle begins when a product is sensed by the
product sensor. This signal engages the drive motor, which advances the
unwind assembly, and dispenses a label. As the label is dispensed, a slot
sensor detects the division between the labels and disengages the motor.
The DC step motor uses an internal braking action which holds the motor in a
locked position preventing web movement between application cycles. All
delays, sequencing and indexing are controlled by the M3.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
The electrical and mechanical operating sequence described below is intended only
to acquaint the operator with the operation of the label dispensing head and its
related control circuitry.
- When “Power" switch is pushed to the "ON" position, the LED display will
read “Q55 XV V1.xSx”, the label dispensing drive motor is off, and the
control circuit is powered. The control circuitry provides the necessary power
to the sensors.
- The "Jog Key" is provided for manual set-up of label dispensing. When it is
depressed a single label dispense cycle is initiated.
- The label dispensing cycle is described in the following manner:
1. The labeling cycle is initiated by the detection of a product by the

product detect sensor. This triggers the start of the PRODUCT
DELAY cycle, which is indicated by the PRODUCT DETECT control
panel LED.
2. Label position time is initiated. The duration of the delay is set by the
PRODUCT DELAY preset.
3. At the end of this preset delay period, the label dispensing motor is
energized. Label dispensing "starts."
4. The label division (space between labels) passes through the label sensor
gap and initiates the LABEL DELAY time-out. (Also considered label
FLAG) As the label division is sensed by the label sensor, the red front
panel LABEL DETECT LED will indicate the LABEL DELAY time-out.
5. Label stop (flag) time is initiated.
6. At the end of a preset time period, the label dispensing motor is de-
energized and the label feed stops.
7. If the optional imprinter is installed, the imprint cycle commences. At

the completion of this cycle, the system is reset.
ASSEMBLY TITLE: Q55 TYPICAL SETUP
DRAWING NO: None
GENERAL FUNCTION:
This is the general outline for system setup.
PROCEDURE:
1. Power the system up and turn the conveyor or product handling
system off.
2. Set the M3 to PAUSE mode by pressing the DOWN ARROW ( )

key on the M3 control panel.
3. Thread labels as detailed in the section on threading.
4. See the section on Q55 preset parameters for delay programming.
5. Press the JOG ( ) key on the M2 labeling head controller to

index a single label. Repeat as necessary until desired flag position
is reached. Either adjust the LABEL DELAY or adjust the position of
the slot sensor to set the label flag.
NOTE: Label flag may vary with each application. Consult QLS service
personnel if application assistance needed.
6. Turn the conveyor or product handling system on. Set the conveyor
speed to the minimum setting required for slow forms travel.
7. Press the UP ARROW ( ) key to enable RUN mode. This will

allow automatic application as each product is detected.
8. Use the PROD delay preset and LEADING/TRAILING mode to

control the position of the label.
9. The M3 will automatically save the final settings as the current

PRESET. This will insure that the settings will be recalled on system
power up. However it is good practice to keep a hand written copy
of your system values in case of critical failure.

ASSEMBLY TITLE: BROKEN WEB
DRAWING NO: C20700-000
GENERAL FUNCTION:
- The broken web fault indicates that the labeler label stock has broken after the labeler pull
roll. It consists of a reflective sensor and a reflector. The sensor is capable of reading clear or
opaque label liner.
-When the broken web passes through the sensor, a signal is generated, that signal will shut
the conveyor system down and light the red lamp on the stack lamp assembly.
-To reset the fault condition, rethread labels and press labeler run/pause to turn off the red
light and place the labeler in run mode. The conveyor will restart and the labeling process will
continue.
- The sensor is set in light on operation mode. It is a retro-reflective operation. To set

the sensor, refer to the following manufacture’s instruction sheet.
- Ensure that all label material is removed from the sensor and reflector area for proper
set up.

- The low label supply fault indicates a depleting supply of labels. It consists
of a fiber optic sensor that is set at the desired position on the roll of labels.
- When the label supply passes below the sensor range, a signal is generated
this will light the yellow stack lamp and enunciate a low label condition on
the operator’s touch screen display.
- The male connector provides quick connection to the labeling head.

- Set the sensor eye just before the cardboard inner core, approximately ¼“
below the supply reel flange and lined up with the sensing hole in the
flange.
MAINTENANCE:
- Keep the sensor optical area clean from label and glue residue
TROUBLESHOOTING:
PROBLEM WHAT TO DO
- No power to the sensor - Check male connector and tightly

secure connection to the head.
NOTE: The labeler will continue to operate until the operator pauses the labeler or
the label supply completely depletes past the broken web sensor.
To reset the fault condition, replenish the label supply and press the labeler run
button from run to pause and back to run.
Low Label Fault
The low label supply fault indicates a depleting supply of labels. It consists of a
fiber optic sensor that is set at the desired position on the roll of labels, usually
just before the cardboard inner core, approximately ¼” below the supply reel
flange and lined up with the sensing hole in the flange.
When the label supply passes below the sensor range, a signal is generated this
will light the yellow stack lamp and enunciate a low label condition on the
operator’s touch screen display.
NOTE: The labeler will continue to operate until the operator sets the labeler on
pause or the label supply completely depletes past the broken web
sensor.
To reset the fault condition, replenish the label supply and press the labeler run

INTRODUCTION
The M3 controller uses high speed flash memory based microcontroller which eliminates the battery and
associated hardware. Some guidelines on using the M3 follow.
RUN/PAUSE: Operation is based on RUN/PAUSE enable keying. The system does not
automatically power up enabled. It must be manually set to RUN for automatic
operation.
PARAMETER SAVE: Once the settings have been established and the product successfully run, the
system needs to save the individual parameters to its on board flash memory.
The M3 will automatically update the flash when the system is idle or in
STOPPED mode. The saved parameters will automatically be reloaded at the
next system power up.

Section: Operational Mode Overview
The M3 system is capable of multi-mode operation. The current version supports fixed speed, encoder mode
and various tamp applications. A brief description follows.
All modes support external fault lamps and status indicators.
Mode 1: Standard Fixed Speed Dispense Display: Q55 MV V1.nSn

E1 MV V1.nSn
This is the standard fixed speed label dispense mode. All delays are time based. Dispense speed is
controlled with a speed preset.
There is an Econoline option in the setup menu that limits the function queue to a base level.
Mode 2: Standard Encoder Based Dispense Display: Q55 AV V1.nSn

E1 AV V1.nSn
In encoder based operation, all delays are pulse based and are directly controlled by the pulse input
from an encoder. Dispense speed is directly scaled from the encoder.
Mode 3: Encoder Based Blow On Display: Q41 AV V1.nSn

Mode 4: Fixed Speed Blow On Display: Q41 MV V1.nSn
Modes 3 and 4 support blow on applications. Both modes feature a programmable index speed. Mode 3
uses an encoder pulse input for pulse based delays.
Mode 5: Fixed Speed Tamp Display: Q41T MV V1.nSn
Tamp based system with time based delays. The dispense speed is preset.
Mode 6: Encoder Based Tamp Display: Q41T AV V1.nSn
Similar to mode 5, the delays are pulse based.
Mode 7: Tamp Blow Display: Q41TB MV V1.nSn
This mode implements an air blast function to the standard tamp apply sequence.
Mode 8: Duplex Mode MV/AV Display: Q55 MV/AV V1.nSn
This is a special mode that uses presets to control the mode of the labeler. When presets 1 through 19
are selected, the system is set to MV or time based operation. When preset 2 through 50 is selected,
the system automatically changes to pulse based (encoder) operation. This mode is useful when
changing from standard apply to a wrap application.

ASSEMBLY TITLE: WRAP ASSEMBLY
DRAWING: D23201-000
GENERAL FUNCTION:
The wrap station is used in conjunction with a single labeling head to
apply a label around a cylindrical product. The wrap station length will vary
with respect to the maximum length of label being applied.
The wrap station is attached to mounting blocks which clamp to mounting
rails affixed to the conveyor side plate. The wrap station can be moved by
loosening the locking levers holding the wrap station in place. Position as
needed and retighten locking levers.
Set the speed of the wrap station with the manual speed control mounted
in the drive/disconnect enclosure.
The final wrap speed should be set from 1.5 to 2 times (1½-2x) the rate of
the conveyor. All line compensation systems will automatically adjust the
labeling head speed with respect to the speed of the wrap station.
MAINTENANCE:
Keep the wrap belt free of label adhesive and debris. This will prevent
jamming and web tears.
Periodically check belt tension. Use the setscrew adjustment at each end
to control belt tension.
CAUTION:
Before performing any maintenance or cleaning make sure the
system is powered down.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
PROBLEM WHAT TO DO
- Belt not fully engaged Increase tension on belt by

adjusting tensioner set screws.

DRAWING NO: D20733-001

WRAP PLATE: C20537-000
c20537-002
GENERAL FUNCTION:
The back up plate assembly is mounted opposite the wrap station. The
assembly provides the pressure to rotate the product plus impression of the
label to the product. The back up plate must cover the entire label width and
length to ensure complete impression. Certain products may require the use
of different size plates to impress into recessed areas of the product.

The only adjustment necessary is to ensure the horizontal pressure is
sufficient to rotate the product completely and provide complete impression of
the label. Place three products in wrap station area, one in the center of the
wrap station, the other two at the in-feed and out-feed ends. Loosen knobs
and slide backup plate close to the wrap station in order to apply light
pressure to products. Retighten knobs when correct pressure is achieved.
MAINTENANCE:
- Clean all the parts that may acquire labels or glue residue.
- Exercise caution when removing bad labels from foam. Careless
removal can result in torn foam which may leave the labeler
inoperable until the roller is replaced.
