ABSTRACT:
A label tamp is provided for delivering and applying a linerless adhesive label to the outside surface of a container transported on a conveyor to the labeling station of a production line. The label tamp includes a tamp cylinder defining an axis of extension that is generally normal to the outside surface of the container, a tamp arm secured to the tamp cylinder such that the tamp arm is alternately extensible and retractable, a tamp arm base plate rigidly fixed to the tamp arm and a tamp head assembly. Preferably, the tamp head assembly is secured to a lift plate has a pair of parallel recesses for receiving a pair of linear actuators therein so that the tamp head assembly is linearly movable relative to the tamp arm base plate. Preferably, the tamp head assembly includes a tamp head resiliently mounted to a tamp head mounting plate so that the tamp head is rotatable in any combination about orthoganol axes perpendicular to the axis of extension of the tamp cylinder, and is linearly movable in a direction parallel to the axis of extension of the tamp cylinder. Preferably, the tamp head is resiliently mounted to the tamp head mounting plate by a plurality of springs positioned on a corresponding plurality of shoulder bolts between the tamp head and the tamp head mounting plate.
