Adheso-CUT Tape Dispener Adjustments

The Adheso-CUT Tape Dispenser is designed to automate the cutting of narrow width adhesive tapes like VHB and Acrylic adhesives. The cutting device has a couple of light sensors that need to be adjusted in order for the unit to work in AUTO Mode.

Follow the step below to make these adjustments.

1. The tape must be over top of the sensors in the cutting device which is pictured below.
2. Adjust the sensitivity of the sensors by turning the adjustment screw on the bottom of the device.
If you are still having trouble after adjusting the sensitivity, you can cover the sensors with a piece of opaque tape. The idea is to cover the sensors so the unit thinks the tape running over them. This will allow the unit to stay in AUTO Mode.

Please contact Nova Customer Service with any questions.

Twitter 101: The Basics

I recently wrote an article for Sign Builder Illustrated that was just published in the April 2011 issue. The article focused on Twitter and how to get started using the micro blogging site. With social media use growing every day, businesses need to learn and understand how to use the various forms of social media. 

Twitter can be a lot of fun to use and become a useful tool to any business. The trick is to understand the platform, develop a game plan and start tweeting.
