Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Etikettieraggregat der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das bei einem Formatwechsel eine optimal kurze Umrüstzeit ermöglicht und gegebenenfalls weitestgehend automatisiert betreibbar ist.The invention has for its object to provide a labeling of the aforementioned type, which allows for a format change an optimally short changeover time and, where appropriate, largely automated operation.
Die gestellte Aufgabe wird mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The stated object is achieved with the features of
Da zumindest eine der drei Hauptbaugruppen, die für den Etikettentransfer verantwortlich sind, unter Verbleib im Etikettieraggregat manuell oder motorisch einer Kooperations-Positionsänderung im Hinblick auf das neue Etikettenformat unterworfen wird, sind keine oder keine aufwändigen Demontage- und Austauscharbeiten für den Formatwechsel mehr erforderlich. Die Umrüstzeit ist optimal kurz. Das Etikettieraggregat lässt sich, insbesondere bei einer motorisch durchgeführten Kooperations-Positionsänderung im Etikettieraggregat, weitestgehend automatisiert umrüsten. Zusätzlich zu dem Vorteil kurzer Umrüstzeit ergibt sich ein geringerer Platzbedarf bei der Lagerhaltung und werden erheblich weniger Reserveteile benötigt. Zweckmäßig ist zumindest eine Hauptbaugruppe auf diese Weise konvertierbar, deren Umrüstung durch Austausch normalerweise sehr zeitaufwendig und kompliziert ist. Es können jedoch zwei oder sogar alle drei Hauptbaugruppen zur Umrüstung in dem Etikettieraggregat ausgelegt sein. Besonders zweckmäßig sind alle drei Hauptbaugruppen durch im Etikettieraggregat durchführbare Kooperations-Positionsänderungen an zumindest Etiketten transferierenden Komponenten konvertierbar. Hierbei sind an der Palettenwelle Paletten für unterschiedliche Etikettenformate gemeinsam angeordnet. Wie üblich, können mehrere Palettenwellen in einem Palettenkarussell vorgesehen sein. Die Paletten für die unterschiedlichen Etikettenformate sind zweckmäßig in Umfangsrichtung der Palettenwelle versetzt. Es können zwei, drei oder mehr Paletten vorhanden sein. Die Palettenwelle ist für den Formatwechsel zwischen mehreren Kooperations-Positionen zwischen jeweils einer Palette und dem in seiner Kooperations-Position befindlichen Etikettenbehälter, und auch den Greifern am Greiferzylinder, wahlweise manuell umsteckbar oder motorisch umstellbar, um die jeweils benötigte Palette in die vorbestimmte Kooperations-Position zu stellen. Falls Etiketten in mehreren Etagen transferiert werden, sind natürlich in jeder Etage an der Palettenwelle mehrere unterschiedliche Etikettenformaten entsprechende Paletten angeordnet.Since at least one of the three main assemblies which are responsible for the label transfer, while remaining in the labeling unit manually or motorized a cooperation position change in terms of the new label format is subjected, no or no costly disassembly and replacement work for the format change longer required. The changeover time is optimally short. The labeling unit can, as far as possible be converted automatically, especially in the case of a motorized cooperation position change in the labeling unit. In addition to the advantage of a short changeover time, there is less storage space required and considerably fewer spare parts are required. Conveniently, at least one main assembly is convertible in this way, the conversion by replacement is usually very time consuming and complicated. However, two or even all three main assemblies may be designed for retrofitting in the labeling unit. Particularly useful all three main assemblies by feasible in Etikettieraggregat cooperation position changes at least label-transferring components convertible. Here, palettes for different label formats are arranged together on the pallet shaft. As usual, multiple pallet shafts may be provided in a pallet carousel. The pallets for the different label formats are expedient offset in the circumferential direction of the pallet shaft. There may be two, three or more pallets. The pallet shaft is for the format change between several cooperation positions between each pallet and located in its cooperation position label container, and the grippers on the gripper cylinder, either manually re-plugged or motorized to the respective required range in the predetermined cooperation position to deliver. If labels are transferred in several floors, of course, several different label formats corresponding pallets are arranged in each floor on the pallet shaft.
Bei einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform werden Etikettenbehälter für unterschiedliche Etikettenformate in einem Positionswechsler angeordnet, beispielsweise einem Revolver oder einem Paternoster, derart, dass wahlweise jeder Etikettenbehälter in eine Kooperations-Position mit der Paletten bewegbar ist. Diese Umstellung kann bequem manuell ausgeführt werden, und wird besonders komfortabel motorisch gesteuert. Dadurch entfällt für den Formatwechsel die Demontage oder der Austausch des jeweils nicht mehr benötigten Etikettenbehälters.In an expedient embodiment, label containers are arranged for different label formats in a position changer, such as a turret or a paternoster, such that either each label container is movable in a cooperation position with the pallets. This conversion can be easily done manually, and is particularly motorized controlled. This eliminates the need for the format change disassembly or replacement of each no longer required label container.
Bei einer weiteren, zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform ist für den Formatwechsel der jeweilige Greifer am Greiferzylinder wahlweise in unterschiedliche Kooperations-Positionen mit der jeweiligen Palette einstellbar, und zweckmäßig auch in unterschiedliche Kooperations-Positionen mit dem zu etikettierenden Behälter. Der Greifer wird entweder manuell umgestellt, oder motorisch, und zwar ohne nennenswerte Bauteile des Etikettieraggregats oder des Greiferzylinders demontieren zu müssen. Besonders zweckmäßig wird die Umstellung sogar automatisiert bzw. ferngesteuert vorgenommen.In a further expedient embodiment, the respective gripper on the gripper cylinder can be set to different cooperation positions with the respective pallet for the format change, and expediently also in different cooperation positions with the container to be labeled. The gripper is converted either manually, or motor, without having to dismantle any significant components of the labeling or the gripper cylinder. Particularly appropriate conversion is even made automatically or remotely controlled.
Gemäß eines weiteren, wichtigen Aspekts weist der Greifer einen Stelltrieb für das Greifertiming in Relation zur Kooperations-Position mit der Palette auf. Der Stelltrieb kann mechanisch betätigt werden oder mittels eines Stellmotors, und zwar um das Timing des Greifers an das neue Etikettenformat anpassen zu können.According to another important aspect, the gripper has an actuator for the gripper timing in relation to the cooperation position with the pallet. The actuator can be operated mechanically or by means of a servomotor, in order to adjust the timing of the gripper to the new label format.
Um eine große Bandbreite an Einstellmöglichkeiten zu haben, kann es zweckmäßig sein, den Greifer im Wesentlichen parallel und/oder im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Greiferzylinderachse verstellbar anzuordnen. Eine Verstellung des Greifers kann beispielsweise über eine elektrisch verstellbare Spindel erfolgen, oder von Hand durch Verdrehen einer solchen Spindel.In order to have a wide range of adjustment options, it may be expedient to arrange the gripper in an adjustable manner substantially parallel and / or substantially perpendicular to the gripper cylinder axis. An adjustment of the gripper can be done for example via an electrically adjustable spindle, or by hand by turning such a spindle.
Bei einer anderen zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform kann der Greifer an einer durch einen Stelltrieb am Greiferzylinder verstellbaren Greiferwelle angeordnet sein. Dadurch können mit einem einzigen Greiferzylinder verschiedene Etikettenformate verarbeitet werden.In another expedient embodiment, the gripper can be arranged on a gripper shaft which can be adjusted by an adjusting drive on the gripper cylinder. As a result, different label formats can be processed with a single gripper cylinder.
Nach einem weiteren, besonders wichtigen Merkmal weist der Greifer sogar einen elektrischen oder elektromagnetischen Greiferbetätigungs-Antrieb auf, so dass die üblichen Kurvenscheiben mit Folgegliedern entfallen und Umstellungen der Greiferoperation besonders bequem ferngesteuert vorgenommen werden können, beispielsweise unter Nutzen abgelegter Programme oder Tabellen.According to another particularly important feature, the gripper even has an electric or electromagnetic gripper actuating drive, so that the usual cams with followers omitted and adjustments of the gripper operation can be made particularly convenient remote controlled, for example, using stored programs or tables.
Da auch das Andruckelement abhängig von dem Etikettenformat bestimmte Einstellungen benötigt, falls ein Formatwechsel stattfindet, ist zweckmäßig für einen als Andruckelement an einem Schwammschieber angeordneten Schwamm am Greiferzylinder ein Stelltrieb, vorzugsweise elektrischer oder elektromagnetischer Natur, vorgesehen, der solche Justierungen oder Änderungen der Kooperations-Position des Andruckelements bequem und ohne Demontage nennenswerter Teile des Etikettieraggregats ermöglicht.Since the pressure element depends on the label format requires certain settings, if a format change takes place, is useful for a as a pressure element a sponge valve arranged sponge on the gripper cylinder an actuator, preferably electrical or electromagnetic nature, provided which allows such adjustments or changes in the cooperation position of the Andruckelements comfortable and without disassembly significant parts of the Etikettieraggregats.
Die universelle Leistungsfähigkeit des Etikettieraggregats lässt sich optimal nutzen, wenn dem in die Kooperationsposition mit der Palette eingestellten Etikettenbehälter ein automatisches Magazinbeschickungssystem vorgeschaltet ist. Beim Etikettieren sind, solange ein Etikettenformat, beispielsweise in einer einzigen oder in jeweils einer Etikettieretage, verarbeitet wird, keine Betriebsunterbrechungen erforderlich, weil über das Magazinbeschickungssystem im Etikettenbehälter jeweils genügend Etiketten des verarbeiteten Etikettenformats nachgeliefert werden.The universal performance of the labeling unit can be optimally utilized if an automatic magazine loading system is placed in front of the label container set in the cooperation position with the pallet. When labeling, as long as a label format is processed, for example, in a single or in each one Tagieretage, no interruptions in operation required because the magazine loading system in the label container enough labels of the processed label format are replenished.
Bei einer zweckmäßigen, weitestgehend automatisierten Ausführungsform des Etikettieraggregats sind die elektrischen oder elektromagnetischen Stell- oder Betätigungsantriebe zumindest zum Ändern der Kooperationspositionen an der zumindest einen Baugruppe an eine zentrale elektronische Steuervorrichtung angeschlossen, die vorzugsweise programmierbar ist. Für einen Formatwechsel können somit, beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Bildschirms oder einer Eingabesektion, alle Einstelllungen von zentraler Stelle aus durchgeführt werden, ohne direkt in das Etikettieraggregat eingreifen zu müssen.In an expedient, largely automated embodiment of the labeling unit, the electric or electromagnetic actuating or actuating drives are connected to a central electronic control device, which is preferably programmable, at least for changing the cooperation positions on the at least one module. For a format change can thus, for example, with the help of a screen or an input section, all adjustments are carried out from a central location, without having to intervene directly in the labeling.

Die Etikettiermaschine M bzw. jedes Etikettieraggregat A kann von einer zentralen Steuervorrichtung aus angesteuert werden, um im Falle der vorbeschriebenen motorisch bewirkten Kooperationspositions-Änderungen die jeweiligen Stell- oder Betätigungsantriebe zu bewegen. Dies kann beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Bildschirms und einer Eingabesektion unter Nutzen programmierter Einstellungen ferngesteuert erfolgen, so dass in das Etikettieraggregat kein nennenswerter manueller Eingriff erforderlich ist. Es können aber auch einfache Sortenwahlschalter oder dgl. Elemente vorgesehen werden. Eine Verkürzung der Umrüstzeit ist bereits möglich, wenn nur eine der drei Hauptbaugruppen innerhalb des Etikettieraggregats umstellbar ist. Im Hinblick auf eine weitestgehende Automation ist es jedoch zweckmäßig, alle drei Hauptbaugruppen motorisch entsprechend zu verstellen. Bezüglich der Etikettenbehälter und der Paletten ist erfindungsgemäß jeweils eine Mehrfachbestückung vorgesehen und werden Kooperations-Positionsänderungen entweder manuell (bei einer einfachen Ausführungsform) oder motorisch vorgenommen. Bezüglich der Greifer sind bauliche Voraussetzungen geschaffen, um das Timing und die Kooperations-Position jedes Greifers individuell entweder manuell oder sogar motorisch verstellen zu können.The labeling machine M or each labeling unit A can be controlled by a central control device in order to move the respective actuating or actuating drives in the case of the above-described motor-driven cooperation position changes. This can for example be done remotely using a screen and an input section using programmed settings, so that in the labeling no significant manual intervention is required. But it can also be simple variety selector switch or the like. Elements are provided. A shortening of the changeover time is already possible if only one of the three main assemblies within the labeling is switchable. In terms of automation as far as possible, however, it is expedient to adjust all three main assemblies motorized accordingly. With regard to the label containers and the pallets, according to the invention, in each case a multiple assembly is provided and cooperation position changes are made either manually (in a simple embodiment) or by motor. With regard to the grippers, structural conditions have been created in order to be able to adjust the timing and the cooperation position of each gripper individually either manually or even by motor means.
