DE202007002334U1 - Laser labeling machine for labeling product in e.g. pharmaceutical industry, has integrated laser marker, where machine, laser marker and set head are formed as single unit, and marker directly marks labels behind setting unit - Google Patents

Abstract

The machine has an integrated laser marker (2), where the machine, integrated laser marker and a set head are formed as a single unit. The laser marker directly marks multiple labels behind a setting unit (3) of a label dispenser. The machine is equipped with a script detection sensor, where the setting unit and the script detection sensor enable to control the marking of the laser marker. The machine separates the labels with poor marking.

Description

With The invention achieves that a laser-writable label in a device can be labeled, donated and set.

The Invention builds on customary market Standard components; Here are the labelers and the laser scriber. These components are combined in one device.

Labelier usual Type with integrated printing system with thermal transfer or Equipped inkjet printers. Be labels with a laser marker labeled, this is done in a separate step. This Problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim 1.

The Labelers used today with thermal transfer printers or inkjet printers have the disadvantage that they have lower labeling speeds exhibit.

Of the Printhead on the above printers must be a short distance above the Be placed on the label. Due to the installation space of the printing system have to Labels are printed in the forerun (or in a loop). This Problem is solved with the features listed in the protection claim 2.

Integrated You can find these labellers in automated manufacturing plants where It is necessary to print labels that belong to a product group belong (i.e., several consecutively printed labels must be in the order of Pressure on a product group) will in case of malfunction or when triggered the emergency stop the restart of the plant difficult because of the order the labels can no longer be adhered to when setting. Around To synchronize print and product, all labels must be up to Initial label can be removed from the labeler.

This Problem is with the protection in claim 3 u.4 on guided features solved.

With the invention it is achieved that labels, as in patent no. DE 102 35 018 A1 and WO 01/59745 A1 can be described, labeled and deposited on the body. The interaction of the laser beam with the laser-active layer takes place here inside the label. The laser-active layer is completely enclosed with a plastic film that has no interaction with the electromagnetic radiation. No reaction products can escape to these labels. This results in numerous applications in the pharmaceutical, food and biotechnology industries; Here are also products to be labeled in large quantities.

An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to 1 and 2 explained. Show it:

1 the laser labeler with all function modules,

2 the setting unit with its subassembly,

In the 1 is the labeler 1 , Laser scriber 2 , Set unit 3 shown.

In the 2 is the donation edge 1 , Setting head (optionally with letter recognition sensor) 2 Deployment and label control position of the labels 3 , Setting position 4 and NIO discharge position 5 shown.

Claims (4)

The labeller with integrated laser marker is characterized in that the labeler, laser inscribers and the setting head form a unit. The labeller with integrated laser marker is characterized in that the laser inscription directly behind the dispensing edge (or setting unit) of the label dispenser the labels labeled. The labeller with integrated laser marker is characterized in that it is provided with a setting unit and a Recognition sensor can be equipped. Here is through it is possible to control the labeling The labeller with integrated laser marker is characterized in that it labels with bad labeling sorted out and can print after.
