Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for printing on containers, preferably by means of ink jet printing, on a preferably continuously rotating machine with treatment stations, which have the necessary for printing the container printheads.
  • Containers such as bottles and packages, are usually labeled so that consumer information can be attached. It is also known to apply markers or other information to the package with ink jet printers to allow for customizations that label printing does not allow. Such printing systems are monochrome and limited to a few printing dots per line.
  • a device in which the containers are each arranged on a mandrel serving as a container carrier during printing. With several printheads distributed around the mandrel, a colored print image consisting of several color sets is applied to the containers while rotating the mandrel.
  • the mandrels are provided on a circumferentially driven transport element, with which the containers are moved during printing on a transport path formed between a container inlet and a container outlet.
  • the DE 10 2007 050 490 A1 describes an apparatus and a method for printing containers with a plurality of print heads operating according to the principle of ink-jet printing, for producing partial print images of the print image to be applied to the container outer surface.
  • the containers are moved during printing by means of a transport element designed as a carousel, wherein the printing units arranged on the carousel are also moved.
  • the printheads for a printhead change are switched on and switched off in such a way that a printhead located in a printing position on the relevant container exits from the printing position out and another printhead is movable into the printing position.
  • the movement of the printheads takes place in the same horizontal plane in which the carousel rotates.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to achieve a high printing performance in the printing of containers on a rotating machine with reliable function and high print quality.
  • A1 known plant is the multicolor printing of the container in each case in a single treatment station, so that a transfer and re-centering between the individual stations is not required.
  • the bottle always remains in its printing position and the angle of rotation is always known during the printing process. As a result, the printing precision can be increased significantly, especially with multi-color printing.
  • the containers are moved for printing in a direction substantially perpendicular to the transport direction of the rotating machine. Again, the assignment of container position and print head is much easier, since only the vertical displacement is taken into account.
  • the printing units can be made narrower so that much more printing units can be arranged on the rotating machine and the throughput of the system can be increased.
  • the treatment stations in the various levels on printheads means for crosslinking the ink by means of auxiliary power and / or a plasma torch or the like for the surface pre-treatment before printing on.
  • auxiliary power and / or a plasma torch or the like for the surface pre-treatment before printing on.
  • a turntable for receiving the containers and their rotation is provided within the treatment stations, which is driven in particular via a servo motor or a stepper motor.
  • the arranged on the turntable container can be guided past the fixed print head, when the print image is applied over the entire or a partial circumference of the container.
  • the turntable with the container standing thereon for example by means of a linear motor slidable along the inclined path.
  • the container only needs to be positioned and aligned once on the turntable.
  • a centering which fixes the container when lifting immovable in its position.
  • the centering is preferably placed on the container and is held on this by its own weight. This simple design ensures accurate alignment of the container with the printheads throughout the printing process.
  • a cover is provided within which the processing stations arranged in the different treatment levels are arranged, wherein the centering with the container is preferably guided and displaceable within the cover along the inclined path. This prevents the wind during rotation of the machine impairs the printing process and the application of the drops of paint on the container.
  • an aperture is provided according to the invention with which the cover can be closed.
  • the bezel is opened for the supply and removal of the containers and closed during the UV treatment, so that the print heads are shielded.
  • the invention also extends to methods for printing on containers, preferably by means of ink-jet printing, during the rotation of the preferably continuously rotating machine, in particular using the device described above.
  • treatment stations are provided on the rotating machine, which are essentially one above the other the printheads necessary for printing and optionally further facilities required for pre- and post-treatment of the containers in a preferably inclined by about 90 ° to the transport plane of the container web, wherein the containers are guided by moving along the inclined path to different treatment stations.
  • the containers After being guided to one of the treatment stations, the containers remain there for treatment and are moved to the next position only after completion of the treatment. This simplifies the assignment and control of the print heads, since during the printing process only the rotation of the containers induced via the turntable has to be taken into account. There is enough time during the rotation of the rotating machine to complete the treatment of the containers at the various treatment stations.
  • the position to be approached by the container is given electronically depending on the container design and design of the surface to be printed and is thus individually and flexibly adjustable.
  • the printing process is then offset a second time in the same plane and, if appropriate, carried out with a modified or correspondingly adapted image.
  • Fig. 1 illustrated apparatus for printing on containers has a carousel 21, which preferably circulates continuously and are fed via an inlet star 20, the containers to be printed.
  • rotational base of the carousel 21 is a plurality of, for example, fifty treatment stations 23 arranged side by side.
  • the treatment stations 23 rotate at the same speed as the carousel 21. After circulating in the direction of rotation indicated by the arrow R, the containers are removed again from the carousel 21 via an outlet star 22 and supplied for further processing.
  • an outlet star 22 is provided for further processing.
  • a container 1 in particular a bottle, arranged in the treatment stations 23 on a turntable 2, which can be rotated via a drive unit 3, in particular a servo motor or a stepping motor.
  • the turntable 2 is with the container thereon 1, for example, via a linear motor 13 along a direction inclined to the transport direction R of the carousel 21, in Fig. 2 shifted by a corresponding arrow indicated path B.
  • this web B is offset by 90 ° to the transport direction R of the carousel 21, so that the container 1 are vertically displaced relative to the rotating in the horizontal direction carousel 21.
  • the web B is inclined at a different angle to the direction of rotation R of the carousel 21, for example by 45 or 60 °, as long as provided in the individual treatment stations 23, explained in more detail below devices arranged substantially one above the other are.
  • the container 1 is held on the turntable 2 by means of a centering 10, which fixes the container 1 during lifting immovable in its position.
  • the Centering 10 can be placed on the container 1 and lies on this by its own weight.
  • the turntable 2 is mounted with its drive unit 3 via a mounting 12 on a transport element, in particular a linear motor 13 and can thus with the arranged on it container 1 vertically moved up and down and the superposed printing and treatment positions are supplied.
  • the drive system provides an electronic feedback to the plant control, so that an exact positioning of the container 1 at the treatment facilities 5 to 9 is allowed.
  • the position to be approached is determined by the shape of the container 1 and the design of the surface 4 to be printed and predetermined by the system controller.
  • the printed image can be flexibly changed during operation, so that, for example, on each container 1 another image can be printed.
  • the centering 10 rests solely by its own weight on the container 1.
  • the vertical movement of the container 1 and arranged on it centering 10 is guided over a longitudinal guide, not shown, within a trained example as a protective cover 14.
  • the driven by the rotating container 1 with rotatable centering 10 is connected via a pivot bearing 11 with the longitudinal guide, not shown.
  • the cover 14 protects the printing process against the wind generated during the rotation of the carousel 21, and is open in the area of the container change, so that the container 1 can be easily inserted into the treatment station 23 and removed therefrom.
  • the container 1 is first by means of the linear motor 13 vertically to a position B ( Fig. 2B ), in which By means of one or more plasma torches (s) 5 an activation and cleaning of the container surface takes place in the area 4 to be printed.
  • the container 1 is in this case rotated by means of the turntable 2 at least once about its axis, so that the entire circumference of the container 1 can be treated.
  • the position of the plasma torch 5 depends on the container shape and the image to be printed and is electronically adjusted by suitable software based on the image information.
  • the container 1 After surface treatment in position B, the container 1 is moved to position D (FIG. Fig. 2D ), in which, again during at least one rotation of the container 1, one or two colors are applied via corresponding inkjet printheads 7.
  • the container 2 is moved to the position C (FIG. Fig. 2C ) is lowered, in which by means of a UV treatment 6 or other suitable auxiliary energy hardening and crosslinking of the printing inks or pinning (partial drying of the ink) is achieved.
  • the container 1 is moved to the position E (if required). Fig. 2E ), in which by means of the print heads 8 more colors are applied to the printing area 4. After printing, in turn curing or pinning of the printing inks takes place by UV irradiation at position C in the device 6. If further colors are required, the container 1 is then moved by means of the linear motor 13 into the position F (FIG. Fig. 2F ) method, in which 9 further colors are applied by means of printheads. Subsequently, a UV curing takes place again in the device 6.
  • printhead stations 7, 8 and 9 are each a in Fig. 3 closer aperture 15, in particular a sliding panel, sealed, which opens during the movement of the turntable 2 in the corresponding printing position. This prevents accidental curing of the ink on the printheads 7-9 by the UV irradiation, since in the activation of the UV treatment 6 at position C, all printheads 7-9 are shielded.
  • the pixel density can be selectively increased at the positions D, E and / or F.
  • the order of arrangement of the individual levels can also vary in order to achieve the shortest possible sum of the travel paths or to obtain better accessibility to components.
  • the turntable 2 is returned to the container 1 again in the container exchange position A and can be removed after a round about the carousel 21 via the outlet star 22 from the machine.
  • the container 1 When lowering the container 1 in the container exchange position A, the container 1 is automatically released from the centering 10 and can be removed through the outlet star 22.
  • the container exchange position A is in the same plane for the inlet and the outlet.
