Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for applying markings, in particular Printing, on blanks for the production of packs, the blanks be separated from a continuous material web by a separating element.
  • the invention relates to a device for performing the method.
  • the marking or printing should be placed at an exact point on the wrapping his. It is therefore important to control the printing unit accordingly, namely this way to actuate that the printing is applied in the intended position.
  • Another device (US 4,262,474) is also concerned with the printing of one Material web for the production of blanks.
  • a printer is always a compensation pendulum upstream and downstream for the material web.
  • With a photo sensor correct printing checked after the printing unit and with the help of the compensating pendulum corrected if necessary.
  • the invention has for its object the exact positioning of prints to secure on a material web or on the blanks produced and any Weed out misprints with little loss of material.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawings is concerned deal with the production of blanks 10 by severing a continuous web of material 11.
  • the device is in in this case part of a packaging line for cigarettes.
  • blanks 10 serve to envelop one Pack group 12 from cigarette packs 13 for the production of Container packs 14.
  • the material web consisting for example of paper or foil is pulled off a bobbin 15.
  • a second bobbin 16 is kept ready for connection to the running material web 11 after consumption of the bobbin 15.
  • the new material web is on the running material web 11 by a splicing device 17 known, suitable design connected.
  • the running material web 11 is guided over deflection rollers 18, 19 passed through a web store.
  • the railway store serves as an organ to compensate for non-uniform funding movements the material web 11. This is temporarily stationary, namely during cutting off the blank 10. In the area before the web of material 11 is stepped on continuously.
  • the web store is designed as a pendulum store 20. This consists of several (upper) fixed rollers 21 and interacting with them, pendulum rollers 22 that can be moved up and down. The material web is going back and forth or up and down over the fixed rollers 21 and spherical rollers 22 out.
  • the pendulum rollers 22 are on a common carrier 23 that can be moved up and down stored.
  • the effect of the pendulum accumulator 20 is such that during the Standstill of the web of material 11 conveyed by the reel 15 or 16 Material web 11 taken up by the pendulum accumulator 20 becomes.
  • the pendulum rollers 22 and the carrier 23 moved down with them.
  • the pendulum rollers expediently rest 22 with the carrier 23 due to its own weight the loops of the material web 11 and are by the weight moves downward when material web 11 is fed in on one side becomes.
  • the material web 11 is connected to a horizontal conveyor line via a deflection roller 24 into a vertical, downward direction directed funding level. In this area, one after the other the blanks 10 separated by a cutting knife 25. The material web is made during the separation cut 11 stopped. Packing group 12 is replaced by a Slider 26 conveyed transversely to the plane of the blank 10, whereby this taken from the pack group 12 and around in a U-shape the contents of the pack are folded over.
  • the material web 11 becomes the separating device or the separating knife 25 fed by a separate conveyor, in the present Trap by a powered suction belt 27. This is detected the material web 11 with an upright conveyor run 28 and moves it down one length of the blank 10 corresponding section.
  • the suction belt 27 is through a motor 29 reversible with respect to the direction of rotation.
  • the exact position of the cut to cut the blank 10 is controlled by a separate monitoring body, namely by a print mark reader 30.
  • the print marks 31 are 10 with the length of the blank appropriate distances from each other. After detection a print mark 31 through the print mark reader 30 becomes the material web 11 stopped and the separating cut along one Cut line 32 performed.
  • the blanks are marked, namely with a print 33. This can contain data about the manufacturing time, Location and other information included.
  • the printing is applied by a marker, namely by a Printing unit 34. This comes in the area of a horizontal conveyor line the web of material 11 used, between two in Deflecting rollers 35, 36 positioned on the same horizontal plane. This horizontal section of the material web 11 or through the marking station 34 formed is immediate positioned after the pendulum accumulator 20, namely at a greater distance from the cutting station for the cuts 10th
  • the printing unit 34 is during the standstill of the material web 11 lowered from above onto this.
  • the printing unit 34 is therefore also indirectly by the Print mark reader 30 controlled, since this stops the web of material 11 causes.
  • Printing unit 34 assigned a (further) print mark reader 37. This is also located in the area between the deflection rollers 35, 36, in the conveying direction of the material web 11 in front of the printing unit 34.
  • the print mark reader 37 also gropes the print marks 31. It can therefore be directly in the area of the printing unit 34 is a misalignment of the (stationary) material web 11 can be determined relative to the printing unit 34. It there is then a movement compensation between printing unit 34 and Material web 11 such that the misalignment is compensated for and the print 33 is placed in the correct place.
  • Compensation for misalignments of the material web 11 or of the blanks 10 to be produced becomes relative to the printing unit 34 by relative movement between material web 11 and printing unit 34 balanced.
  • the material web 11 moved at a fixed printing unit 34. If due a corresponding misalignment the material web 11 in the original conveying direction must be moved can this additional conveying movement - after cutting off the blank 10, but still during the standstill phase - through the suction belt 27 are executed. But one is more advantageous Compensation through opposite, i.e. backwards Promotion of the material web 11. For this purpose - after execution of the separating cut for the blank 10 - the direction of rotation of the suction belt 27 reversed.
  • the material web 11 is under Participation of the pendulum memory 20 withdrawn because the movable Pendulum rollers 22 due to their own weight - if necessary in conjunction with an additional force - the material web 11 retract into the pendulum accumulator 20 until the exact Position for applying the print 33 is reached. After installation the same becomes the material web 11 in the usual way transported further to produce the next blank 10.
  • the misalignment arises from Splicing, i.e. connecting a running material web with a new material web in the area of the splicing device 17.
  • the web forms a connection point 38, for example a Adhesive tape can be.
  • Due to the splicing process arises a bad cut 39 that is shorter than the usual cuts 10 more consecutive due to the shorter distance Print marks 31 from each other.
  • Fig. 2 shows the resultant Consequences for the printing, if none Malposition compensation takes place.
  • the incorrect position is already recognized when the bad cut 39 or the corresponding Print marks 31 in the area of the (additional) print mark reader 37 arrive.
  • the faulty blank 39 is printed in incorrect position.
  • the length difference is compensated for by withdrawing or returning the material web 11 by a compensating section 41.
  • the compensation namely the return of the material web 11 around the compensation section 41 must be carried out until the wrong cut 39 has passed the separation point. 4, the result is only a relatively short one Missing section 42, which is for processing as a package wrapper is not suitable. This missing section 42 is discarded.
  • the measures described are also applicable if a (Temporary) format change takes place, if so for one certain operating times blanks 10 larger or smaller Length should be manufactured or if a changed position the printing 33 is required. Again, with help of the print mark reader 37 each time the printing 33 at the desired correct position.
