Abstract

A process for marking compact discs with identfication including attaching a printed we to compact discs supported on a conveyor and then cutting the compact discs from the web along the edges of the compact discs.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Kennzeichnung von Compact Disks (CDs) nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a method for labeling Compact Disks (CDs) according to the generic term of Claim 1.

Zur Kennzeichnung von Compact Disks haben sich verschiedene unter die Sammelbezeichnung "Drucken" fallende Verfahren, wie beispielsweise Offset-, Sieb- und Tampondruckverfahren durchgesetzt. Die Verfahren haben einen hohen technischen Stand erreicht, grundsätzlich sind sie aber nur für hohe Druckauflagen wirtschaftlich. Abgesehen davon, dass für die bekannten Verfahren besondere Hilfsmittel, wie Offsetplatten, Siebe bzw. Klischees bereitzustellen sind, deren jeweilige Anzahl sich nach Massgabe der Mehrfarbigkeit eines Druckbildes sich noch multipliziert, ist es ein Sujetwechsel (Wechsel des Druckthemas in Wort und/oder Bild) der an teuren Druckmaschinen nicht unbedeutende Umrüstzeiten nach sich zieht. Vor diesem Hintergrund ist erklärlich, aus welchen Gründen die bekannten Verfahren für niedrige Druckauflagen nicht wirtschaftlich sind. Nicht wirtschaftlich hier bedeutet, dass ein Abdruck bei niedriger Auflage deutlich teurer als ein gleicher Abdruck bei hoher Auflage ist und so die Kosten einer Bedruckung oder Kennzeichnung relativ hoch im Vergleich zu den Kosten eines zu bedruckenden Gegenstandes sind.For the labeling of compact discs various under the collective name "Print" falling processes, such as offset, screen and pad printing processes. The proceedings have reached a high technical level, in principle, however, they are only for long print runs economically. Apart from that for the well known Special tools, such as offset plates, Sieves or clichés are to be provided, the respective number depending on the multicolor of a printed image is still multiplied, it is a Change of subject (change of print theme in word and / or Image) of the not insignificant on expensive printing presses Changeover times. With this in mind it is possible to explain why the known ones Procedure for short print runs not are economical. Not economical here means that an impression is clear with a low circulation more expensive than an identical print with a large number of copies and so is the cost of printing or labeling relatively high compared to the cost of one too printed object.

In neuerer Zeit fand bezüglich gewisser Gebrauchsgüter, CDs sind dafür ein besonders ausgeprägtes Beispiel, ein verändertes Abnehmerverhalten statt, indem kleinerer Auftragsmengen bestellter, individuell gekennzeichneter Waren platzgreifen, dies überlagert durch drucktechnisch ständig anspruchsvoller werdender Kennzeichnungen. Damit rückt die Kostenproblematik geringer Auflagen vermehrt in den Vordergrund, wobei die bekannten, d.h. konventionellen Verfahren aufgrund ihrer technischen Perfektionierung nur wenig Raum lassen, die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Bedruckung kleinerer Auftragsmengen zu verbessern.More recently, regarding certain commodities, CDs are a particularly good example of this changed customer behavior instead of by smaller Order quantities of ordered, individually marked Grabbing goods, overlaid by printing technology increasingly demanding labels. This puts an end to the cost problem of short runs increasingly in the foreground, the well-known, i.e. conventional processes due to their technical perfection leave little room for that Economics of printing smaller order quantities to improve.

Aus der EP-A-0.221.552 ist ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen eines Druckbildes auf eine Unterlage, beispielsweise ein Blatt Papier bekannt, bei dem ein Bild auf eine Folie aufgedruckt wird und die so bedruckte Folie auf die Unterlage gebracht und mit ihr verbunden wird. Dabei wird die Unterseite der Folie bedruckt, die dann mit der Oberfläche der Unterlage verbunden wird. Aus der EP-A-0.641.575 ist ein Verfahren zur Oberflächendekoration von Skis bekannt. Auch bei diesem Verfahren wird eine auf ihrer Unterseite bedruckte transparente Folie mit der die Bindung tragenden Oberfläche des Skis verbunden. Bei beiden bekannten Verfahren wird ein nach den klassischen Druckverfahren hergestelltes, auf einen Druckträger aufgebrachtes Bild durch eine bedruckte Folie ersetzt, wobei die Zusammenführung von Folie und Druckträger in einem Schritt, diskontinuierlich erfolgt. EP-A-0.221.552 describes a method for application a print image on a base, for example a sheet of paper known, in which an image on a Foil is printed and the thus printed film on the document is brought and connected to it. there the bottom of the film is printed, which then is connected to the surface of the pad. Out EP-A-0.641.575 is a method for surface decoration known from skis. Even with this procedure becomes a transparent printed on its underside Foil with the surface of the ski that supports the binding connected. In both known methods, an after the classic printing process, on one Image applied by a printed medium Foil replaced, the merging of foil and Print carrier in one step, done discontinuously.

Hiervon ausgehend hat sich der Erfinder die Aufgabe gestellt, ein Verfahren zur Kennzeichnung auch kleinerer Gütermengen zu schaffen, das die Nachteile der konventionellen Verfahren vermeidet und die Aufgabe wird durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.Proceeding from this, the inventor has the task posed, a process for labeling even smaller ones To create quantities of goods that the Avoids disadvantages of the conventional methods and the task is accomplished through a process with the characteristics of claim 1 solved.

Zur Kennzeichnung von CDs wendet sich die Erfindung von den konventionellen Druckverfahren ab. Die Erfindung zieht für vorgenannten Zweck die digitale Aufbereitung einer Vorlage (folgend Bilder genannt), die Lasertechnik zur Übertragung digital aufbereiteter Bilder auf eine Folie, die Kaschier- oder Laminiertechnik und Lasertechnik für Schneid- und ggf. Schweissvorgänge bei.To identify The invention turns CDs from conventional ones printing process from. The invention draws for the aforementioned purpose the digital preparation of a template (following pictures called), the laser technology for digital transmission prepared images on a film, the laminating or Laminating technology and laser technology for cutting and possibly Welding processes at.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens ist im Vergleich zu den Druckwerken der konventionellen Verfahren kostengünstig und mit hohen Fertigungsgeschwindigkeiten betreibbar. Besonders vorteilhaft ist, dass ein Bildwechsel ohne Unterbruch, d.h. einander nahtlos folgend, durchführbar ist, so dass sich das Verfahren nach der Erfindung für hohe Auflagen gleichermassen eignet wie für niedrige.A device for performing the inventive The process is compared to the printing units the conventional process inexpensive and Can be operated at high production speeds. It is particularly advantageous that an image change without Interruption, i.e. following each other seamlessly, feasible is, so that the method according to the invention for long runs are equally suitable for short runs.

Mit 19 und 20 sind zwei Umlenkrollen bezeichnet, deren Aufgabe darin besteht, die Folie 16 parallel und um die Dicke einer CD 15 beabstandet zum Förderband 14 auszurichten und laufen zu lassen. Die Umlenkrollen 19, 20 können vertikal verstellbar ausgebildet sein, um den Abstand zwischen Förderband 14 und Folie 16 CDs 15 unterschiedlicher Stärke anzupassen. Die Beschichtungsstation umfasst ein Widerlager 21 und beispielsweise zwei Druckrollen 22, 23. Das Förderband 14 mit aufliegender CD 15 und darauf aufliegender Folie 16 durchlaufen den zwischen Widerlager 21 und den Druckrollen 22 bzw. 23 gebildeten Walzenspalt, wobei Aufgabe der Druckrollen die Herstellung einer innigen Verbindung unter Druck zwischen Folie 16 und der ihr zugekehrten Fläche der CD 15 ist. Mit 25 ist eine Einrichtung zwischen Vorratsrolle 16 und Umlenkrolle 19 bezeichnet, mit der ein Verbindungsmittel, wie Klebstoff auf die Seite der Folie 16 aufgebracht werden kann, die zur Auflage und Verbindung mit der ihre gegenüberliegenden Fläche der CD 15 bestimmt ist. Entlang der gleichen Wegstrecke kann auch eine Heiz- und/oder Kühleinrichtung 26 auf die Folie 16 einwirkend vorgesehen sein, wenn beispielsweise besondere Temperaturen der Folie 16 bei Einlauf in den Walzenspalt 24 einzuhalten sind. Die Schneidstation 12 umfasst ein Auflager 27, das wie das Widerlager 21 von dem Förderband 14 mit darauf gehaltener CD 15 mit aufgebrachter Folie 16 vor dem Schneidvorgang in Bandform überfahren wird. Oberhalb des Auflagers 27 ist eine Schneideinrichtung 28 angeordnet, die die CD 15 aus der Folie 16 durch Herausschneiden weiter auf dem Förderband gehalten vereinzelt. Vorzugsweise ist die Schneideinrichtung 28 eine solche, die den Schneidvorgang vermittels Laserstrahlen vollzieht. Dabei kann ein Strahl die CD 15 entlang ihres äusseren Umfanges und ein Strahl entlang ihres inneren Lochumfanges aus der Folie 16 heraustrennen. Die der Schneidstation 12 folgende Schweissstation 13 weist ein Auflager 29 und eine darüber beabstandet angeordnete Schweisseinrichtung 30 auf, deren Abstand von Förderband 14, mit darauf gehalterten CDs 15 mit Folie 16 durchlaufen wird, wobei an dieser Station, die beschichteten CDs 15 aus der Folie 16 wie bereits gesagt herausgetrennt sind. Die Schweisseinrichtung 30, vorzugsweise eine mit Laserstrahlen arbeitende Schweisseinrichtung 30 hat die Aufgabe, sofern als zweckmässig beispielsweise bezüglich Abschälfestigkeit der Folie 16 als Beschichtung angesehen letztere vorzugsweise in Streifenform entlang dem äusseren Umfang der CD 15 und/oder ihres inneren Lochumfanges mit der Oberfläche der CD 15 zu verschweissen. Dazu kann ein Strahl den äusseren und ein Strahl den inneren Umfang abfahren. Nach erfolgter Verschweissung wird die Folie 16 auf die Aufwickelrolle 18 aufgewickelt, während die beschichtete und ggf. verschweisste CD nach der Umlenkrolle 20 von der Fördereinrichtung 14 abgenommen wird.1, the device 10 for carrying out a coating station of the method according to the invention 11 (under coating there is lamination or lamination understood), a cutting station 12 and a welding station 13. A conveyor 14, for example, a rotating conveyor belt 14 conveys characteristic CDs 15 of side A, preferably adjacent to side B clocked via the coating device 11, the Cutting station 12 and the welding station 13, being at A CDs 15 are applied and removed from B. A transparent film 16 made of plastic (preferably Polyethylene) suitable for applying labels such as text or images overflows one side of the flat lying on the belt 14 CDs 15 clocked and synchronized like that Conveyor belt 14. The film 16 by a supply roll 17 runs off and runs onto a take-up roll 18 from the latter via the coating station 11, the Cutting station 12 and the welding station 13, between the conveyor belt 14 and the film 16, the CDs 15. synchronized and synchronized with the conveyor belt 14 drawn. With 19 and 20 two pulleys are designated, whose job is to make the film 16 parallel and spaced by the thickness of a CD 15 from the conveyor belt 14 align and let run. The pulleys 19, 20 can be designed to be vertically adjustable the distance between conveyor belt 14 and film 16 CDs 15 to adapt to different strengths. The coating station includes an abutment 21 and for example two pressure rollers 22, 23.

Laserdrucker, folgend kurz Drucker 32 genannt, die von Aufnahme- und Verarbeitungsgeräten empfangene Signale auf einem anderen Träger, beispielsweise der Folie 16, als Bilder oder Schriftbilder wieder sichtbar werden lassen. Der Drucker ist zwischen Vorratsrolle 17 und der Beschichtungsstation 11 auf die Seite der Folie 16 einwirkend angeordnet, die in Verbindung mit der Oberfläche der CD 15 gebracht wird (folgend Unterfläche genannt). Dabei ist die Kennzeichnung (Bild, Schrift etc.) so auf die Unterfläche vermittels des Druckers 32 aufzubringen, dass nach Beschichtung die Kennzeichnung auf der Unterfläche der Folie 16 von der ihr gegenüberliegenden Fläche in normaler Darstellung lesbar ist. Als Kopierstation 33 wird die Anordnung des Druckers 32 zwischen Vorratsrolle 17 und Beschichtungsstation 11 bezeichnet.At 31 an electronically working data acquisition and processing device referred to that in operative connection with a device 32 that comes from the processing device 31 received data or signals in readable Shape, i.e. as letters or pictures on the Can apply film 16. Data recording and processing devices, the entered letters, numbers, graphic Recordings, pictures etc. and in Convert electronic signals are known. Also devices 32 are known, e.g. Laser printer, following abbreviated printer 32, which of recording and Processing devices received signals on another Carrier, for example the film 16, as pictures or make typefaces visible again. The Printer is between supply roll 17 and the coating station 11 acting on the side of the film 16 arranged in connection with the surface of the CD 15 is brought (hereinafter called sub-surface). there is the labeling (image, writing, etc.) so on the To apply the bottom surface by means of the printer 32, that after coating the marking on the bottom surface the film 16 from the opposite surface is legible in normal representation. As a copy station 33 the arrangement of the printer 32 between Supply roll 17 and coating station 11 designated.

Das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren kennzeichnet sich durch folgende Verfahrensschritte. Als erste wird an der Kopierstation 33 eine Kennzeichnung auf die Unterseite einer Folie 16, die während des Kennzeichnungsvorganges stillsteht angebracht. Nach Abschluss des Kennzeichnungsvorganges vermittels des Druckers 32 rückt die Folie 16 als Streifen oder Folienbahn auf die Beschichtungsstation 11 vor, in der die Folienbahn mit der CD 15 so verbunden wird, dass die Kennzeichnung mit der für sie auf der Oberfläche der CD 15 bestimmten Stelle zusammenfällt, und die Unterseite der Folie 16 mit der die Beschichtung tragenden Fläche der CD 15 verbunden ist. Nach erfolgter Verbindung (Durchlauf durch Beschichtungsstation 11) läuft die CD 15 mit aufgebrachtem Streifen in die Schneidstation 12 in der sie zum Stillstand kommt, um vermittels der Schneideinrichtung 28 aus der Folienbahn 16 herausgetrennt, d.h. vereinzelt zu werden. Nach Abschluss der Vereinzelung in der Schneidstation 12 läuft die beschichtete und vereinzelte CD 15 in die Schweissstation 13 ein, kommt dort wieder zum Stillstand, um sofern angezeigt, dort Randverschweissungen vorzunehmen. Während der Beschichtungsvorgang ein Durchlaufverfahrensschritt (Folie 16 durchläuft Beschichtungsstation 11) ist, handelt es sich bei der Kennzeichnung (Kopierstation 33) der Vereinzelung (Schneidstation 12) und Verschweissung (Schweissstation 13) um Stillstandsverfahrensschritte (Folie mit CD 15 und Förderband 14 stehen), wobei der zeitlich am längsten dauernde Stillstandsverfahrensschritt die Zeit für die synchron ablaufenden drei Stillstandsverfahrensschritte bestimmt.The method according to the invention is characterized by following process steps. The first one is at the Copy station 33 a label on the bottom a film 16 during the labeling process stands still. After completing the labeling process by means of the printer 32 Film 16 as a strip or film web on the coating station 11 before, in which the film web with the CD 15 is connected so that the marking with the intended for them on the surface of the CD 15 coincides, and the underside of the film 16 with the the coating-bearing surface of the CD 15 connected is. After the connection has been established (run through Coating station 11) runs the CD 15 with applied Strip into the cutting station 12 in which they comes to a stop by means of the cutting device 28 separated from the film web 16, i.e. to be isolated. After separation has been completed in the cutting station 12 the coated and isolated CD 15 in the welding station 13, comes there again to a standstill, if indicated, there Edge welding. During the coating process a continuous process step (slide 16 passes through coating station 11), it acts the identification (copying station 33) of the separation (Cutting station 12) and welding (Welding station 13) for standstill process steps (Foil with CD 15 and conveyor belt 14), the Longest-lasting standstill procedure step the time for the synchronously running three Downtime process steps determined.
