Definitions

  • the present invention relates to automated labeling apparatus for placing identification labels on a layup of sheet material. More particularly, this invention is directed to computer controlled apparatus having a plurality of labeling carriages on a supporting beam working in unison to position and apply identification labels on predetermined positions on a top layer of a layup of sheet material prior to cutting.
  • a plotted representation of the nest of pattern pieces is spread across the top of the layup prior to cutting.
  • the current plotted representation may include the perimeter outline of each pattern piece as well as identifying indicia for each individual piece positioned within that perimeter outline.
  • both the plotted representation and the layup of sheet material are cut simultaneously leaving a stack of pattern pieces topped with a similarly shaped portion of the plotted representation bearing individualized identifying indicia for that particular pattern piece.
  • the stacks of pattern pieces are then routed through the manufacturing/assembly stages to generate the finished product.
  • plotted representations Another drawback to the use of plotted representations is the serious concern of losing the identifying indicia for stacks of pattern pieces prior to manufacture and/or assembly. Since the plotted representation is simply spread out over the layup of sheet material, it is difficult to ensure that the cut portions stay with the appropriate stack of cut pattern pieces. This is particularly true for smaller pieces which are easily confused or misplaced.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,028,167 entitled LABEL APPLICATOR FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED CUTTING MACHINE This apparatus mounts a label applicator with the automated cutting tool on the support beam of a cutting table above the layup of sheet material. As an individual pattern piece is cut by the cutting tool, the label applicator affixes a label containing identifying indicia to the cut piece.
  • a vacuum system is usually used to hold down the layup so that it doesn't move.
  • This vacuum system takes the form of a foraminous table through which a vacuum is drawn.
  • a cover film is placed over the layup prior to cutting. This combination serves to compress the layup of sheet material and hold it in place to facilitate the cutting operation.
  • the label applicator mounted adjacent the cutting tool, moves into position to apply the label.
  • the label applicator is actually affixing the label to the cover film covering the stack of cut pattern pieces. Accordingly, one is still faced with the risk of losing or confusing the identifying indicia, particularly for smaller pattern pieces.
  • plies of sheet material are spread out and inspected on long spreading tables.
  • Most manufacturing facilities utilize a number of these long spreading tables to provide a continuous series of layups of spread sheet material to a single automated cutting operation. Because the spreading operation is much quicker than the cutting operation, there is typically a substantial lag time while the spread sheet material awaits transfer to the cutting operation.
  • the amount of time necessary for the cutting operation is tremendously increased over conventional automated cutting operations. This is because the label applicator operates in sequence with the cutting tool to label a pattern piece after it has been cut. Therefore, one operation, either labeling or cutting, is stopped while the other is proceeding. Also, should a malfunction occur in either the labeling or cutting tool, the entire cutting/labeling operation ceases until the malfunction is corrected. This is a serious consideration in, for example, the garment industry where time and throughput are critical pricing and profit considerations.
  • an automated labeling apparatus having a plurality of labeling carriages on a supporting beam working in unison to position and apply identifying labels on predetermined positions along a layup of sheet material.
  • an automated labeling apparatus for positioning and applying identifying labels on predetermined positions along a layup of sheet material prior to cutting.
  • the apparatus includes multiple labeling carriage assemblies mounted on a support beam for independent movement thereon.
  • At least one label printer-load station is attached to the apparatus so as to be accessible to the labeling carriage assemblies for providing preprinted identifying labels.
  • a central processing computer controls movement of the support beam and the labeling carriage assemblies as well as the functioning of the label printer-load station so as to coordinate operation of the labeling carriage assemblies for efficient operation.
  • the apparatus is adapted for movement in the X, Y, Z Cartesian coordinate system with the support beam carrying the labeling carriage assemblies along the table containing the layup and the labeling carriage assemblies adapted for transverse movement along the support beam and in the vertical direction.
  • a rotatable drum capable of releasably holding six preprinted labels simultaneously is used with each labeling carriage assembly to facilitate even faster throughput times. This is accomplished by substantially reducing the number of times the labeling carriage assembly must return to the label printer-load station during a labeling operation.

  • Fig. 2 is a side view taken along line 2-2 of Fig. 1 of an automated labeling apparatus showing the drive system.
  • Fig. 3 is an end view taken along line 3-3 of Fig. 1 of an automated labeling apparatus showing the labeling carriage assemblies, printer-load stations and central processing unit.

  • Fig. 9 is a fragmentary side view taken along line 9-9 of Fig. 3 of the printer-load station with supply and take-up reels for adhesive backed labels.
  • FIg. 10 is a frontal view taken along line 10-10 of Fig. 2 showing the belt drive for the support beam wheels.
  • Fig. 11 is a fragmentary plan view taken along line 11-11 of Fig. 2 of the belt drive system for the labeling carriage assemblies in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 12 is a cross-sectional view taken along line 12-12 of Fig. 10 showing the structure of the joined positive drive belt.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of an automated labeling apparatus, generally designated 30, in position on a spreading table 32 over a layup of sheet material 34 spread thereon.
  • the apparatus 30 includes a rectangular hollow support beam 36 having a plurality of label carriage assemblies 38 mounted thereon for longitudinal movement.
  • Support beam 36 is maintained above spreading table 32 by means of side supports 40 positioned at either end of the beam 36.
  • a printer-load station 42 is also provided on either end of support beam 36 in a position accessible to a corresponding label carriage assembly 38.
  • Support beam 36 is movable in an illustrated X-coordinate direction by friction wheels 44 positioned on side supports 40. Wheels 44 travel along the outside surface of the spreading table 32 and are provided in aligned pairs on each side support 40. Wheels 44 are preferably formed with high friction tread to prevent slippage.
  • One particularly advantageous type of wheel is a 90 durometer polyurethane friction wheel available from Meridian Laboratories in Middleton, Wisconsin.
  • Friction wheels 44 are driven in the X-coordinate direction by a belt driving system shown generally at 46 in FIG. 2.
  • a DC servo motor 48 mounted to side support 40 drives a torque translation tube 50 by means of timing belt 52.
  • Torque translation tube 50 extends through rectangular hollow support beam 36 and translates the torque of the DC servo motor 48 to uniformly drive both pairs of friction wheels 44.
  • a drive belt 54 interconnects each pair of friction wheels 44 to a corresponding end of the torque translation tube 50 such that both pairs of friction wheels 44 are driven evenly along the spreading table 32. Tension is maintained on the drive belts 54 by belt tensioning pulleys 56 and 58. Where greater accuracy and reduced slippage is desired, timing belt 52 and drive belts 54 may be positive drive belts interfitting timing belt pulleys and wheels. In the present embodiment, timing belt 52 and drive belts 54 are fabricated from polyurethane however, a wide variety of other belting material could be substituted including rubber, plastics and metals.
  • the spreading table 32 is provided with a shoulder track 60 along a longitudinal outside edge (See FIGS. 1-3).
  • a pair of grooved track wheels 62 is provided on the side support 40 corresponding to shoulder track 60 to guide and align the automated labeling apparatus 30 as it is driven along the spreading table 32.
  • the grooved track wheels 62 are replaced with spring loaded rollers 66 on both sides of the table.
  • the rollers 66 contact the vertical edges 70 of spreading table 68, perpendicular to the table surface.
  • the spring loaded rollers 66 serve to compensate for irregularities in the width of the spreading table 68 while maintaining the automated labeling apparatus 30 in alignment as it is driven along spreading table 68 by friction wheels 44.
  • maintaining proper tension on the driving belts 54 and the timing belt 52 is an important factor.
  • One means of addressing this is to mount the DC servo motor drive pulley 74 directly beneath the torque translation tube 50, on the same geometric axis. With this arrangement, the tension on the belts is maintained despite pivotal motion of the beam.
  • the automated labeling apparatus 30 is adapted for controlled movement along the length of the spreading table 32.
  • the linear positioning of the apparatus along spreading table 32 is accomplished by an optical encoder 76 mounted to the side support 40 adjacent rail 60 on a spring loaded mounting plate 78.
  • a polyurethane friction wheel 80 is mounted to the shaft of the encoder 76.
  • contact between the spreading table surface and the encoder 76 results in a translation of the linear motion of the apparatus to rotational motion of the encoder 76.
  • the apparatus utilizes the encoder feedback information for both closed loop servo control and positional feedback.
  • At least one printer-load station 42 is provided with the automated labeling apparatus of the present invention in order to print and deliver information labels 84 to a plurality of label carriage assemblies 38.
  • one printer-load station 42 is secured to each end of support beam 36.
  • the printer-load station supports a label supply, a label printer and means for delivering the printed labels to a label carriage assembly 38.
  • a web of material containing adhesive backed blank labels 86 on roller 90 is supported on mounting plate 82.
  • a take up roller 92 is positioned above roller 90 to collect the carrier web of material 98 after the printed labels have been removed.
  • thermal printer 94 mounted in the same vertical plane as roller 90.
  • Thermal printers are well known in the art and are available from a variety of commercial sources including Seiko Instruments USA Inc. of Torrance, California. Although a thermal printer is used in this embodiment of the invention, any acceptable printer can be utilized including electrostatic, ink jet, or other type.
  • the thermal printer 94 is capable of both alphanumeric and bar code printing. Predetermined information in the desired form is printed on the label as the web passes through the printer 94.
  • a sharply angled peeler bar 96 is positioned beyond the printer 94 and serves to remove the printed adhesive backed label 84 from the carrier web 98 as the web passes over the edge of the peeler bar 96.
  • the carrier web 98 is then wound onto take up roller 92.
  • a motor 100 is coupled to take up roller 92 through a clutch mechanism to ensure uniform tension on the web during advancement.
  • stationary idlers 102 are provided to guide the web along the loop from roller 90 to takeup roller 92.
  • the type and characteristics of the label material used will be determined by the particular application. For example, in the garment industry the material onto which the label is applied is usually a woven fabric type and the labels should adhere reliably. The label should also be easily removable without damaging the material or leaving any adhesive residue. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention, blank labels supplied by Ever Ready Label, Belleville, N.J. as thermal paper no. Ricoh-130LAM are used. These labels have been found to provide good adhesion and be easily and completely removable without adhesive residue.
  • a plurality of label carriage assemblies 38 are mounted on hollow support beam 36 for controlled longitudinal movement thereon.
  • two label carriage assemblies 38 are mounted on opposing vertical faces of support beam 36.
  • the two label carriage assemblies 38 of the present embodiment are mounted on bearing carriages movably supported longitudinally on a circular rail 104 which is mounted along the front and rear vertical faces of the beam 36.
  • addition label carriage assemblies may be incorporated on the support beam to enhance labeling speed and capacity.
  • the carriages may be arranged in various configurations including the use of three carriage assemblies, each responsible for overlapping areas of the layup or four or more carriage assemblies designed to cooperate to label predefined portions of the layup.
  • An opposing cam and roller are used to secure the lower end of the label carriage assemblies 38 to U-shaped longitudinal channels 106 formed in the lower vertical of faces of the support beam 36. This provides a secure and stable attachment for the label carriage assembly and prevents rotation about circular rail 104.
  • the label carriage assemblies 38 are capable of unrestricted movement along the Y-coordinate direction and can move independent of each other.
  • One particularly advantageous bearing assembly is the Round Way® bearing available from Thomson Industries, Inc. of Port Washington, N.Y.
  • each label carriage assembly 38 is drive in the Y-coordinate direction by a DC servo motor 108 connected to a polyurethane Gilmer or positive drive belt 110.
  • Drive pulley assembly 112 is mounted at one end of hollow support beam 36 with idler pulley 114 mounted at the opposite end thereof in the same longitudinal plane.
  • Positive drive belt 110 is tensioned between both the drive pulley assembly 112 and the idler pulley 114 such that half of the length of belt 110 is positioned outside hollow support beam 36 and the other half of the length of the belt 110 is routed inside the beam 36.
  • a separate DC servo motor drive belt 116 interconnects the shaft of DC servo motor 108 and drive pulley assembly 112.
  • positive drive belt 110 is formed by joining proximate 118 and distal ends 120 of a length of drive belt material as shown in Fig. 12.
  • the belt material is looped over and the ends 118, 120 are butted together as shown.
  • a small connecting piece of the same positive drive belt material 122 is used to help join the ends.
  • the ends 118, 120 are positioned in accurate alignment.
  • Outer and inner plates, 124 and 126, respectively, are positioned at the joined ends and are bolted together to form a secure joint.
  • Label carriage assembly 38 is bolted through the outer plate 124, the butted belt ends 118, 120 and the inner plate 126 forming a strong and sturdy bond between the label carriage assembly 38 and the positive drive belt 110.
  • each label carriage assembly 38 comprises three major components.
  • the first of these components is a rotatable drum 128 adapted to hold a plurality of printed labels 84.
  • the rotatable drum 128 is cylindrical in shape and rotates transversely through its center axis.
  • Drum 128 is provided with a plurality of flats 130 along its circumferences and tangent to the periphery of the drum surface for receiving printed labels 84 face down.
  • Labels 84 are held in position on the flats 130 by spring loaded pins 132 located along the perimeter of the drum 128 and positioned to engage the outside edges of the printed labels 84.
  • pins 132 located along the perimeter of the drum 128 and positioned to engage the outside edges of the printed labels 84.
  • a stepper motor 134 provides controlled rotational motion of drum 128 through drive belt 136.
  • an angular control mechanism is provided as the second major component of the label carriage assembly.
  • Drum 128 is mounted to the label carriage assembly on a vertical spring loaded shaft 140 perpendicular to the drum's axis of rotation.
  • a stepper motor 142 drives a pulley 144 through drive belt 146.
  • Pulley 144 is attached to the upper end of vertical spring loaded shaft 140 for rotation about a horizontal plane. Activation of stepper motor 142 controls the degree of angular rotation of drum 128 prior to application of the printed label 84.
  • the third major component of the label carriage assembly is the height control mechanism for controlling movement of the drum 128 in the Z-coordinate direction.
  • a clearance between drum 128 and the surface of the layup of sheet material 34 is maintained whenever label carriage assembly 38 is not actually applying a label 84. This is to allow the apparatus 30 to traverse the entire surface of the spreading table 32 in the X- and Y-coordinate directions without interfering with the sheet material 34 spread on the table.
  • stepper motor 152 provides the vertical motion required to lower drum 128 to the sheet material surface and return it back to an elevated position.
  • the label carriage assembly 38 further includes a contact sensor mechanism for sensing and adjusting vertical travel of the drum.
  • the contact sensor mechanism includes a wire cage presser foot 154 (best seen in FIGS. 7-8) which activates a micro switch 156 when it comes in contact with the top surface of the layup of sheet material 34 (shown in phantom in FIG. 7). Feedback from this contact sensor mechanism allows the automated labeling apparatus to automatically accommodate variations in the height of the layup of sheet material 34 without requiring manual setting and adjustment. Activation of the presser foot also ensures that the sheet material is not disturbed during the labeling process. Furthermore, the label carriage assembly 38 is protected from the shock or damage caused by impact of the drum 128 on the layup of sheet material 34 by the vertical spring loaded shaft 140 which acts as a shock absorber to absorb impact force.
  • a central processing computer 158 controls and coordinates all of the functions of the labeling apparatus 30 including, inter alia , movement in the X-, Y- and Z-coordinate direction, printing of labels with predetermined information, loading of preprinted labels onto the drum 128 as well as diagnostic self checks of the automated systems.
  • a standard IBM personal computer is programmed with the coordinates of the predetermined label locations within the periphery or profile of the pattern pieces 138 to be subsequently cut from the layup of sheet material 34 (See FIG. 4).
  • the computer 158 is also provided with the appropriate identifying indicia to be printed on each label. This information is compiled and a labeling sequence is determined for the most efficient throughput for a given layup of sheet material.
  • the computer 158 sequences the printing, loading, alignment, application and reloading of labels by the labeling apparatus 30. Since both numerical control techniques and position programming is well known to those skilled in the art, an exhaustive description of those techniques are not provided.
  • the automated labeling apparatus is brought to the spreading table 32, preferably on a transfer table 160, and moved into position over the layup to be labeled.
  • AC power is picked up from a power channel 162 through a sliding plug 164 which is adapted to travel along power channel 162 in the X-coordinate direction as the apparatus moves.
  • the automated labeling apparatus 30 is then indexed at a predetermined position on the layup of sheet material 34.
  • This indexing provides a reference point from which the central processing unit 158 directs the movement and operation of the labeling apparatus.
  • a bright LED pointer 166 is mounted to the labeling carriage assemblies (see FIG. 7). This pointer 166 aids the operator of the equipment in accurately positioning the apparatus for indexing.
  • a diagnostic check can be run to insure that all of the assemblies are operating properly.
  • the operator initiates the labeling sequence.
  • the label carriage assemblies 38 are moved to their respective load stations 42 and present the drum 128 in position in front of the peeler bar 96 of the printer-load station as shown in FIG. 9.
  • the bottom edge of the peeler bar 96 is situated above the flats 130 on the drum 128.
  • the printed labels 84 pass over the edge of the peeler bar 96, the printed labels are separated from the carrier web 98.
  • the printed label 84 adhesive side up, is directed onto a flat 130 on the cylindrical drum 128.
  • spring loaded pins 132 are electromagnetically raised to accommodate the label between the pins.
  • the pins 132 are retracted to their original position. Label 84 will remain in position on the flat 130 of the drum 128 by the force imposed by the heads of pins 132.
  • Drum 128 is then rotated to the next flat 130 to receive another label. This process is repeated for each of the flats on the drum.
  • an optical sensor 168 is provided to verify that all of the flats 130 have been properly loaded.
  • the label carriage assemblies 38 are moved out of the printer-load station 42 and begin the label placement process.
  • the data file containing the numerical placement data for the labels in the X- and Y-coordinate directions and angular placement data is accessed and the central processing unit 158 directs the labeling apparatus to the first placement position. Once in position over the desired label location, the proper angle is set and the drum 128 is oriented so that the label to be applied is above and horizontal to the surface of the sheet material 34.
  • Second optical sensor 170 may optionally be provided adjacent the placement position of drum 128 (see FIG. 6) to insure that the label is properly in place on flat 130 prior to application.
  • the drum 128 With the label carriage assembly 38 in place, the drum 128 is lowered to contact the surface of the layup of sheet material 34 and then raised to an elevated position above the applied label 84.
  • the adhesive force of the label 84 overcomes the holddown force of the pins 132 and the label 84 remains securely in place on the top layer of sheet material.
  • a third optical sensor 172 may also be provided adjacent the placement position of drum 128 (see FIG. 6) and is used as the placement feedback sensor. Where this sensor is utilized, the drum 128 is positioned in front of the sensor and scanned to insure that the label is not still affixed to the flat 130.
  • the central processing unit 158 will cease labeling operations and return the malfunctioning labeling carriage assembly to the operator's station for repair. For example, if a label has been retained by the drum 128, the carriage will return and allow the operator to remove the problem label. The apparatus is then reactivated and the misapplied label data is added back into the system for reprinting and reapplication.
  • the sliding plug 164 of the automated labeling apparatus is disconnected from the power channel 162 and the apparatus is rolled onto transfer table 160 for movement to an adjacent spreading table. The process then continues as above.
