Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for marking elongated objects such as cables, hoses, pipes or the like with a preferably self-adhesive label.
  • Such a method is broadly used in the EP 1 334 836 A1 described. Comparable procedures are known from practice. Such labels serve to identify individual cables of, for example, harnesses for subsequent processing, such as wiring or routing. Although you can work here with colored cable insulation. Meanwhile, however, the number of individual cables in a wire harness has increased so much that a color differentiation is hardly possible, and also because of the sometimes limited lighting conditions.
  • cables and in particular individual cables in cable harnesses generally require a specific identification in order to ensure the subsequent intended use of the cable harness and / or of the respective cable.
  • Similar problems are faced by a user if different hoses or (plastic) pipes are to be combined and / or used for different purposes. This results in a variety of problems in practice. For one thing, the elongated objects are completely different in their diameters. On the other hand, specific labels are needed.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of further developing a method and an associated device for marking elongated objects of the embodiment described above so that a machine marking succeeds taking into account different diameter ranges and differently designed labels.
  • the clamping device regularly provided at this point also serves as a measuring device for the diameter of the object and vice versa (the measuring device acts as a clamping device).
  • the clamping device generally has two distance-adjustable collets, which are applied to it depending on the diameter of the object to be marked. If you measure the path of the collets in this process, can be inferred in conjunction with their starting position on the diameter of the object in question. This usually happens in an already realized control device, for example, which reads the collets associated Wegmessgeber or displacement sensors and evaluates accordingly.
  • the label itself may be applied to the carrier tape, printed or otherwise connected to it.
  • the invention encompasses any type of labels, including, for example, a colored coating of a transparent film applied to the carrier tape, an imprint on the transparency, embossing of the transparency, etc.
  • the transparency itself
  • adhesive label carries as another component or the label on the transparency as color printing, letter printing, embossing, etc. has been applied directly. In all these cases, the size of the cut-out transparency dictates or matches the size of the label.
  • the transparent film and consequently the label defined thereon can be separated from the carrier tape.
  • the invention provides, by way of example, a sharp dispensing edge, over which the carrier tape, including the applied (transparent) film, is guided.
  • a compressed air supply with at least one compressed air nozzle may be provided in the region of the dispensing edge.
  • Compressed air is supplied to the area in question with the aid of the compressed air supply acting on the compressed air nozzle, so that the film or transparent film separated from the carrier tape is held in suspension and comes to lie perfectly with its beginning on the object to be wrapped.
  • the questionable compressed air supply or Druckbuchanblasung can of course be set variable with respect to the flow velocity of the compressed air. A targeted switching on and off is conceivable. This is ensured by the control device. In any case, this facilitates the attachment of the beginning or beginning region of the film on the object to be marked, so that the subsequent winding process proceeds without difficulty.
  • a winding device which is equipped with at least two opposite winding rollers. In most cases, two opposite winding roller pairs are realized at this point, which rotate in comparison to a coincident with the longitudinal axis of the object coinciding axis of rotation and in this way wrap the label or the transparency as a whole around the object.
  • the label may be a cut-to-length component of the transparent film with variable outer dimensions running overall with the carrier tape or may be applied separately to the transparent film.
  • the diameter of the object already detected or present as the input variable is used.
  • differently designed and / or measured labels can be processed, depending on the type of object to be marked and / or its diameter and / or external specifications, such as a color specification, a text to be applied, an embossing etc ..
  • the invention is, for example, able to store labels of the same or different size which have been designed very differently one after the other on the carrier tape.
  • different individual cables of a cable set can be fitted peu a peu with the respective associated labels in the correct order, which also take into account the possibly changing diameter ratios.
  • This may be done according to a predetermined program sequence, which is stored in the control device and, for example, externally via a keyboard or otherwise as appropriate or can be specified. That is, the invention enables the processing of completely different labels, which are supported and stored by one and the same carrier tape, according to the externally set specifications.
  • the labels are first processed and defined on the carrier tape, so that the described complete flexibility is given.
  • a method and apparatus are provided for marking elongate objects such as cables, hoses, pipes, or the like which enable machine labeling with a captive marker. This means that no manual steps are necessary anymore.
  • the winding device used also a uniform winding is achieved.
  • the object to be marked can be provided with a marking winding which consists of one, two or even more Windings exists and thus particularly firm and quasi captive on the object due to the preferably self-adhesive character of the film adheres. Nevertheless, the regularly inside and thus protected label can be easily read and used for the identification of the object. That is, the (transparency) film wrapped over the label as an option acts not only as a label carrier, but also as a laminate for its protection in ready to install condition.
  • the invention further proposes to combine the device described with a printer, which may be a thermal transfer printer and / or an inkjet printer.
  • a printer which may be a thermal transfer printer and / or an inkjet printer.
  • the label is labeled and then applied to the transparency film, if it is not already on it from the outset. But it is also possible to provide the transparency directly with the lettering or the paint application. Then there is virtually a screen printing field on the transparency film.
  • the label can be defined as such as a print on the transparency.
  • customary printing techniques which, for example, produce a white background field of the desired size.
  • the actual lettering is applied to this printed on the film label.
  • the control device can be implemented corresponding specifications.
  • the object to be labeled may be flanked by an information code which includes individual parameters for subsequent tagging.
  • These parameters may include the diameter of the object, a suitable feed rate, a winding speed, a dispensing position, i.e., the location of the beginning of the film on the object to be wrapped, and so on.
  • the dispensing position can be predetermined and varied by the feed rate and / or the compressed air injection.
  • the thus defined information code for the object to be wrapped may be designed as a barcode and be assigned directly to the object in question, for example as a sticker. However, the information code can just as well be stored in a database in which the object and the associated information code exist as a unit. Here are the main benefits.
  • an apparatus for marking elongate objects 1 such as cables 1, hoses, pipes or the like is shown.
  • the cable 1 is a single cable of a cable set, which is not to be understood as limiting.
  • this single cable or cable 1 is introduced into a measuring device 2, which simultaneously acts as a tensioning device 2. That is, it is a combined measuring / tensioning device 2.
  • the elongate object or cable 1 is fixed on the one hand and measured with respect to its diameter D on the other hand.
  • the combined measuring / tensioning device 2 has two collets 3, which are applied on both sides of the cable 1 in the example case by means of spindle drives 4 or comparable linear actuators 4.
  • the linear adjusting elements 4 are each moved by a certain amount, which can be set to the closed position of the collets 3 shown in FIG. 2 in relation.
  • the said diameter D can now be determined.
  • the displacement sensors 5 are connected to a control device 6, which determines the diameter D of the cable 1 to be marked.
  • the diameter D can also be specified from the outside.
  • the said device has an unillustrated work unit which processes the diameter D as an input. In this case, it is not necessarily necessary to additionally measure the diameter D. As a rule, however, the diameter D is additionally measured when using a corresponding input variable with the aid of the measuring / tensioning device 2 in order to ensure that the transmitted diameter D coincides with the diameter D of the object 1 that is actually to be wrapped.
  • a transparent film 8 is designed to be self-adhesive and is supported by a carrier tape 9 as a base.
  • the label 7 can also be defined as a specific region of the transparent film 8, ie does not necessarily represent a separate element.
  • the carrier tape 9, the transport film 8 and the label 7 form a continuous belt, which is processed and processed as a whole.
  • the label 7 can be printed using a merely indicated printhead 10 of a thermal transfer printer or an inkjet printer, which in turn is acted upon accordingly by the control device 6. Because in this control device 6 there is a program sequence, which specifies the imprint for the respective label 7. It can be seen in FIG. 2, a total of three different labels 7, 7 'and 7 ", which are provided with different imprints depending on the specification by the control device 6 and may also have different dimensions if necessary.
  • the basic bodies of the illustrated labels 7, 7 ', 7 have the same design, with the only difference being the accompanying transparencies 8, 8' and 8" carrying the labels 7, 7 'and 7 ", namely in their associated length L, L 'and L ".
  • These different lengths L, L 'and L " are likewise predetermined by the control device 6 and take into account the previously measured and optionally different diameter D of the individual cables 1. Depending on this diameter D (and the number of desired windings on the cable 1) the control device 6 in conjunction with a driven by her cutting device 11 ensures that the different lengths L, L 'and L "of the carrier tape 8, 8' and 8" are set.
  • the cutting device 11 designed as a cutting knife emerges so far into the transparent film 8, 8 'and 8 "that the carrier tape 9 underneath is not damaged or cut, thereby presenting different transparent film pieces 8 before the subsequent process of marking. 8 'and 8 "with varying lengths L, L' and L" available, which are then wound on associated and varying cables 1 to their mark.
  • the invention opens up the additional option of selecting and setting the length L, L 'or L ", the transparent film or film 8, 8' and 8" such that the associated label 7, 7 'attached to the cable 1, 7 “of the transparent film 8, 8 ', 8" is covered and experiences a lamination as it were.
  • the label 7, 7 ', 7 "in question is protected from soiling, abrasion or general wear by regularly printing the relevant label 7, 7', 7" on the transparent film 8, 8 ', 8 ", as shown in FIG 5 represents in principle.
  • two print heads 10 in the conveying direction F of the label 7 including the transparent film 8 and the carrier tape 9 of the cutting device 11 are connected upstream (in FIG. 5).
  • the rearmost printing head 10 in the conveying direction F provides for the printing of the actual label 7, 7 ', 7 ".
  • the foremost printing head 10 in turn assumes the label of the label 7, 7', 7" in question.
  • the unit 7, 8, 9 can be moved continuously out of the carrier web 9, the transport foil 8 thereon and the label 7 defined thereon. Because it is possible during the labeling of the foremost in the conveying direction F foremost label 7 'of FIG. 2, the subsequent label 7 using the rear printhead 10 to define.
  • the device shown has a (sharp) dispensing edge 12, whose operation is best seen in Fig. 3.
  • the carrier tape 9 is guided by means of a supplied by the control device 6 feeder 13 on said dispensing edge 12 in the counterclockwise direction and in this case the respective transparent film 8, 8 'and 8 "with the label thereon 7, 7' and 7 "replaces.
  • the carrier tape 9 is deflected during running over the dispensing edge 12 by significantly more than 90 ° and the other hand, the stiffer transparent film 8, 8 ', 8 "this movement can not or only barely follow.
  • dispensing position S the label 7, 7 'and 7 "including transparent film 8, 8' and 8" touches the cable 1 to be marked and adheres to it as a result of the self-adhesive nature of the transparent film 8, 8 'and 8 " which the transparent film 8, 8 ', 8 "touches the object or cable 1 to be marked.
  • This dispensing position S can be varied, inter alia, by means of a merely indicated compressed air supply for a compressed-air nozzle 17.
  • a winding device 14 likewise connected to the control device 6 ensures that the respective label 7, 7 ', 7 "including the associated transparent film 8, 8 'and 8" around the respective cable to be marked 1 is placed. It is understood that the control device 6 can control the winding device in question 14 in such a way that the winding speed is variable. Likewise, the feed rate can be varied by means of the control device 6 by the supply device 13 is acted upon accordingly. The aforementioned parameters can also be specified and changed depending on the surface condition of the object 1 to be marked.
