Definitions

  • the invention relates to methods and apparatus for decorating individual objects.
  • the printing of individual objects is now done consistently using methods in which the inks are applied by means of at least one transmission element on the object to be decorated and the transmission element is designed according to the printed image to be transmitted or is provided with the printed image to be transmitted.
  • the transmission element may be z. B. to a screen printing device, in which the ink is applied by means of a doctor blade through a provided with the print template on the object.
  • the offset printing method is frequently used, in which the ink corresponding to the print image is first applied to the blanket of a cylinder and from there to the object.
  • US-A-5,915,858 discloses a method of printing CDs using a modulated laser beam, wherein an actuating mechanism is provided which moves the CD to control the relative position of the laser spot beam in an orthogonal direction opposite to that provided by a movable mirror 52 is effected, which oscillates the light beam.
  • Other possibilities for transferring the movement to the CD are two galvanometers or a linear motor, without any further details.
  • the use of inkjet printers is mentioned in connection with the discussion of the prior art and also with reference to the suitability for the printing of small batch sizes and finally as an alternative to printing by laser beam, without the interaction of the individual components even hinted would.
  • the use of a carrier as means for transporting a CD, without a drive means for this carrier or the interaction of the Components would also be mentioned.
  • the invention has for its object to modify methods and apparatus of the type described above so that the production of printed images with high quality and high throughput is possible, while the changeover times can be so short that even very small quantities can be printed economically ,
  • the holder for the object can be carried by the primary part of the linear motor.
  • This has the advantage that in the presence of multiple brackets and thus multiple transport carriages for the simultaneous treatment of multiple objects in the printing press, the movements of the individual transport carriages can be controlled independently without great effort. The latter is important because in particular in multi-color printing machines, the objects and thus the holders carrying them in the printing press through several stations and in the individual stations different speeds, residence times, etc. may be required.
  • the ability to independently control the individual brackets or carriages supporting them contributes to achieving a high throughput.
  • the reverse arrangement, in which the holder is carried by the secondary part of the linear motor should not be excluded. However, it requires a significantly higher structural and circuit complexity, if the individual carriages should be independently controllable with respect to their movements.
  • the movements of the individual carriages outside the at least one printing station and, if appropriate, existing further treatment stations can likewise be controlled as a function of a program.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 - 3 of the drawing has a transport path 10 which is provided with a rail 11 of a linear motor and two parallel guides 12 is.
  • a transport path 10 which is provided with a rail 11 of a linear motor and two parallel guides 12 is.
  • rail 11 and transport path 10 may, for example, also have the shape of a circle, an ellipse or another shape and be designed as an endless transport path running in the horizontal plane.
  • the rail 11 is associated with two transport carriages 14a, 14b as movable components of the linear motor, which are each provided with at least one receptacle 15 for an object 16 to be printed on the upper side.
  • Structure and operation of a linear motor are familiar to the expert, so that they need not be explained in detail here.
  • the invention uses the linear motor drive as a means for transporting the objects through the at least one printing station and, in particular in the case of the presence of multiple printing stations, also for bridging the distances between the printing stations and between these and possibly additional still existing handling, treatment - or control stations.
  • the primary part of the linear motor which has the three-phase winding 17, the respective transport carriages 14a, 14b form or wear, while the rail 11 with the magnet or the like.
  • the rail 11 with the magnet or the like As a secondary part is used. But it is also the reverse arrangement possible. Which of the possible arrangements is given preference is of no importance to the invention.
  • Each carriage 14a, 14b is provided on the underside with two groove-shaped recesses 19. In each of these recesses 19 engages one of the guide rails 12, which also absorb between rail 11 and slide 14 occurring transverse forces and cause a precise lateral alignment of the carriage.
  • the apparatus is provided with a central computer 18 which controls the nozzles 27 (FIG. 3) of the individual inkjet printheads 20 according to a program stored in the computer 18, the object 16 being moved along the transport path 19 during the printing process.
  • Each carriage 14a, 14b is provided with at least one non-contact sensor 22, which cooperates with a continuous measuring rail 24 of a length measuring system, which runs parallel to the transport path 10.
  • the measuring rail 24 is provided with triggering in the sensor 22 measuring points 26, which are arranged at a very small distance, for example, 1 ⁇ from each other.
  • FIG. 3 The basic structure of a print head is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the nozzles 27, from which the ink is ejected in the form of drops in the direction of the object 16 to be decorated, are arranged in rows above the object such that the distance between two adjacent nozzles 27 of a Nozzle row 29, 30 is not greater than the maximum diameter of the paint on the object from the respective droplets forming.
  • a print head 32 is provided with at least two rows of nozzles 29, 30 arranged one behind the other perpendicular to the transport direction 34 of the object, the individual nozzles 27 of these two rows being e.g. are offset by half the distance of the distance between two adjacent nozzles 27 a row transversely to the transport direction against each other.
  • the number of nozzle rows and the arrangement of the nozzles depends essentially on the quality of the printed image, which will generally be a prerequisite that a seamless printing, so the application of a closed ink application, must be possible.
  • the actuation of the example piezo-electrically driven Nozzles are frequency-controlled, resulting in a specific pulse sequence, which corresponds to the program for the printed image to be applied in the respective printing station and must be synchronized with the speed of the object and thus of the carriage during the printing process.
  • the relative adjustment of the print head to the position of the object in the direction perpendicular to the transport direction 34 coordinate axis takes place in the embodiment shown in the drawing using a camera 36, which is in the receptacle 15 of the carriage 14 object 16 with respect to its position, for example, based on his Contour or an already printed image or any registration marks detected.
  • This thus determined actual position of the object in a direction parallel to the transport direction 34 coordinate axis and in a direction perpendicular to the transport direction 34 coordinate axis is digitized and compared with a stored in the computer 18 target value.
  • a difference between the actual value and the target value is extremely small, since it can not be greater than the sum of the play which the object 16 has within the receptacle 15 and the play of the carriage 14a or 14b on the guide rails 12 It is thus normally only fractions of a millimeter. However, a precise relative alignment of object 16 and print head to each other also contributes to the quality of the printed image to be produced.
  • the relative orientation of the object transversely to its transport direction is carried out in the embodiment shown in the drawing so that those nozzles of each nozzle row 29, 30, etc. are made effective for the respective printing operation, which are above the range of the object in the respective Print station I or II is to be provided with an order from printing ink.
  • the arrangement is such that the length of the rows of nozzles is chosen slightly larger than the width of the area to be printed by the respective print head or portion of the object 16. This means that when the area of the object to be printed 16 z. B. has the maximum width 38, the length of the nozzle rows 29, 30, etc. is greater than this maximum width 38.
  • nozzles 27 of the existing nozzle rows are made effective for the printing process, which are located above the portion to be printed in the region of the width 38 thereof.
  • the effective Asked section of the nozzle rows is designated in Fig. 3 of the drawing with 38a.
  • only the nozzles within the portion 38a of the respective nozzle row for ejecting drops of paint are actuated.
  • the nozzles located outside the width 38 of the portion of the object 16 to be printed that is, the nozzles located in the end portions 40 and 41 of the respective nozzle row, do not participate in the printing process because they are rendered ineffective.
  • the relative alignment of object and print head to one another in the transport direction 34 takes place after determining the actual position of the object and comparing it with the desired position by calculating the number of pulses for the generally linear transport path, wherein the deviation of the actual number of pulses from the target Pulse number corresponds to the deviation of the actual position of the object from its desired position in the transport direction 34.
  • the number and the size of the nozzles it should be noted that the size of the dots applied by the drops of paint on the object is approximately in the size of a diameter of z. B. 30 - 50 ⁇ is.
  • the distance between two nozzles of a row should not be greater than the maximum diameter of the dot of ink formed on the object by the drop of a nozzle.
  • the number of mutually parallel rows of nozzles in the transport direction 34 results from the need, if necessary, to form a covering (closed) ink layer on the object.
  • Variable droplet sizes of the ink may possibly be achieved by ejecting two or more droplets from the same nozzle in immediate succession, in which case the speed with which the object is advanced may be reduced to zero, if necessary.
  • the decoration process proceeds in such a way that first the respective transport carriage 14a, 14b is moved with the object located thereon under the camera 36, so that the position of the object is detected.
  • the position of the object within the shot will not change thereafter, since the object z. B. is held by negative pressure in the recording.
  • the camera 36 can also be used in need of an identity check at the same time to ensure that the correct object 16 is in the receptacle 15 of the transport carriage 14a or 14b.
  • the information concerning the position and the identity of the object is transmitted via an information channel 42 to the computer 18, which controls the printhead 20 of each printing station I, II via an information channel 44 such that a section 38a of each nozzle row 29, 30, etc. is activated which corresponds to the position of the area of the respective object to be printed.
  • an information channel 42 to the computer 18, which controls the printhead 20 of each printing station I, II via an information channel 44 such that a section 38a of each nozzle row 29, 30, etc. is activated which corresponds to the position of the area of the respective object to be printed.
  • the carriage 14a of the linear motor are moved in the direction of the printing station I, wherein the operation of the linear motor via a frequency converter 43 which is connected via a line 46 to the respective carriage 14, and position and / or speed of the carriage 14a through the measuring rail 24 and sensor 22 having detected measuring system and are fed via an information channel 48 to the computer 18, in which the position or speed of the carriage 14a information is used to regulate the movement of the carriage and thus of the object 16 so that the movement with the end of the printing process, ie the operation of the nozzles 27 of the print head 20, is synchronized and so the desired printed image is formed, which will often be only a partial print image in the sense that two more or more such generally different partial printed images, each in a corresponding p Rogramm investigating printing station is applied in a particular color, to complement a generally multicolor overall printed image.
  • each print station will be assigned its own print program.
  • the conduit 46 and the information channel 48 may form parts of a control loop, by which the speed of the respective transport carriage 14a, 14b, in particular during the printing process is kept as constant as possible, as far as this can be brought into agreement with the expiration of the print program or the frequency of the print head.
  • a variable transport speed during the printing process will be applied when the color density on the object is changed. This is done via the frequency converter 43 which is turned on in the power supply of the linear motor formed by the transport carriage and rail 11, wherein the speed of the carriage is controlled by the frequency of the three-phase current. Since a separate frequency converter is provided for each transport carriage 14a or 14b, it is possible to independently control the transport carriages with respect to their speed.
  • the information channel 44 can be used simultaneously to give information from the respective print head 20 to the computer 18.
  • Such information may relate, for example, the nature of the ink, so for example, their temperature and thus their viscosity, etc.
  • a device is shown with two printing stations, which is associated with a common transport path 10. This means that after the second partial print image has been applied in the station II on the object carried by the carriage 14b, this carriage 14b must first be moved in the transport direction 34 in order to make room for the carriage 14a in the printing station II, so that the object located in this carriage can be provided with the second partial printed image.
  • this carriage 14b In multi-color printing more than two printing stations will generally be provided, wherein different colors are applied to the object in all printing stations.
  • a drying station in which the previously applied partial printed image is dried at least so far that when applying the next partial printed image, z. B. in the printing station II, no longer the risk that the colors of both partial printed images run into each other or otherwise mix with each other.
  • the measuring rail 24 Since the highest accuracy is required for the movements of the transport carriage in the printing stations, it might be sufficient to provide the measuring rail 24 only partially in the areas in which the printing stations are arranged so that the free distances between the linear transport sections or the printing stations a common means of transport can be overcome. However, in general, in particular when using a larger number of transport carriages in combination with a common rail, it will be expedient to provide a continuous measuring rail. In order to control the movement of the individual carriages over the entire length of the transport path and to be able to control them if necessary.
