Product description
INTENDED USE
The Applicator LTSA is an additional device for XLP 504 label printers from NOVEXX Solutions.
The Applicator LTMA is an additional device for XLP 514 label printers of the same menufacturer.
The applicator takes over self-adhesive labels from the printer’s dispensing unit and applies them to
moving or stationary products.
The applicator is bolted to the printer by means of a rigid connecting plate. It requires no separate
power supply; it is connected to the printer by means of a plug connector and is supplied with power
via the printer.
The controller of the applicator is integrated into the firmware of the printer. The application process is
triggered by one of the following 4 possibilities:
• Press a button on the printer operation panel
• Easy Plug immediate command (#!D) at the data interface
• Press an optional foot switch (connected to the printer)
• External start signal received via the optional signal interface (e.g. from a product sensor)
Working position: The LTSA/LTMA is an attachment for a tabletop printer. The application direction is
therefore vertically from top to bottom.
Any other type of or more extensive application will be considered non-intended use. This includes in
particular installation of the XLP 504/XLP 514 with LTSA/LTMA in any other than the working position
described above.
NOVEXX Solutions assumes no liability for damage resulting from any form of non-intended use of the
printer.

process is triggered via a switch (e.g. foot switch).

DESIGNATION & VIEW
LTSA stands for Light Touch Stepper Applicator
LTMA stands for Light Touch Motor Applicator
•Light Touch means that the label is only pressed on lightly because the applicator immediately starts
its return stroke as soon as it contacts the product. This allows products with varying heights to be
labelled.
•Stepper means that the applicator is driven by a stepper motor.

FUNCTIONALITY
The LTSA/LTMA waits in home position in front of the dispensing edge and draws the label onto the
foam pad on its underside as soon as it has been dispensed. The vacuum necessary for this is gener-
ated by a fan.
After the start signal, the LTSA/LTMA moves its pressure plate down until it contacts a resistance
(product), applies the label firmly to the product and immediately starts its return stroke. This automat-
ic reversing function (“Light Touch”) allows products with different heights to be labelled. Any minor un-
evenness in the product surface is compensated by the foam pad of the applicator.
