  • the embossing tool carrier device can have, for example, a flat shape - in so-called round-flat machines - or a cylindrical shape - in so-called round-round machines or rotary machines.
  • At least one embossing film web is moved by means of a film transport device with a predeterminable by the control of the film transport device web speed through the embossing gap that moves during a stamping interval at the same speed as the material layer to be embossed by the embossing gap.
  • embossing material located on the embossing foil web for example discrete stamping units lying one behind another, such as images, texts and / or holograms, or a part of a color layer or metal layer to be coated, is transferred to the material layer under the action of pressure and temperature.

  • successive embossing on the substrate have a certain distance from each other. Since it would be uneconomic to maintain the corresponding embossing units or ink layer areas at the same distance on the embossing film web, it is desirable to optimize film consumption that one behind the other to be embossed ink layer areas or consecutive embossing units are closer together on the embossing film than consecutive embossing on the substrate.
  • This goal can be achieved in that the embossing foil web is guided out of the embossing interval slower than the material layer to be embossed, accelerated to material layer speed before the embossing interval and then braked again and possibly also retracted against the main transport direction.
  • the EP 0 718 099 B1 shows by way of example an embossing rotary machine with a film transport device, which such successive acceleration, deceleration, deceleration and retraction phases the embossing foil web with minimal mechanical stress of the usually quite thin and thus sensitive embossing foil web allowed.

Since the embossing foil web is held on both sides of the separation point on the circumference of the transport roller, an undesired reaction of the mechanical cutting process on the film transport through the embossing gap can be prevented. The separated web sections are sucked off via a downstream of the transport roller suction and fed to disposal.
  • the embossing foil web intended for disposal is introduced into a storage chamber via a slip drive belonging to the film transport device, where it forms free-hanging or depositing loops. These form a reservoir for a discontinuous or alternating mode of operation the embossing device.

  • the heating wire is briefly brought along the entire length of the continuous embossing foil web and melts this with short contact contact along the entire parting line, so that a separate embossing foil web portion 130A is formed. Even with this working contact contact variant, no forces acting in the direction of the film web arise.
  • the separating devices are preferably each arranged directly behind the corresponding Werner boots, ie without intermediate deflection, which may be provided, however.
  • the non-contact, pneumatic Werner Cipheral Staver 260 combined with the laser separator 770 or the hot gas separator 870, so is neither for the Switzerland constituent, nor for the separation of a touch contact to the embossing foil required, so that the disposal without any repercussion on the film transport remains.
  • Control device of the film factory can be used in differently structured embossing machines.
  • the embossing machine can be constructed as a pure rotary machine (round-round machine).
  • the disposal facilities can also work together with differently constructed film transport devices.
  • the film work can be constructed substantially as it is in the EP 0 718 099 B1 is shown, namely with the embossing gap downstream traction device with slip drive and a cooperating with the pulling device, the embossing gap upstream controllable film feeding device.
  • the invention can be used in different variants of hot stamping as well as in various cold stamping techniques.
