Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for checking security features in security documents, wherein the security features comprise at least one electromechanical security feature.
- Security documents such as banknotes, personal ⁇ documents, credit cards and the like. are usually provided with certain authenticity features to make it difficult to counterfeit such documents.
- certain authenticity features To counteract the growing technical skills of potential counterfeiters, more and more complex authenticity features have been developed in recent years. For example, it is known to incorporate fluorescent pigments into structural features of banknote printing. Furthermore, special luminescent substances, for example with electroluminescence, are used. Such authenticity features are difficult to imitate in terms of their chemical composition. In addition, it is difficult to determine what is being analyzed in detail during the verification process and how it is being evaluated.
- security documents For the production of security documents, a wide variety of printing processes, such as offset printing, Letterset ⁇ pressure, offset coating, flexographic printing, screen printing, thermal sublimation tion, gravure and non-contact printing methods can be used.
- printing processes such as offset printing, Letterset ⁇ pressure, offset coating, flexographic printing, screen printing, thermal sublimation tion, gravure and non-contact printing methods.
- the quality controls should promptly errors be recorded in order to be able to make corrections as soon as possible, thereby reducing the rejection quota. Therefore, in the following, security documents are understood as precursors to documents which, for example, occur as materials provided with security features in the production process.
- DE 10 2005 000 698 AI deals with a method for testing a value document.
- the distance between a detector arrangement and a measuring point is determined in order to regulate the measured value, for example in order to normalize the measured value.
- the sensor at the measuring point can be a fluorescence sensor.
- the test may take place when the security element is connected to the substrate of the security document, or immediately thereafter, before the substrate is further processed or stored. Due to this so-called in-line test, a substantially greater test density of the material produced can be achieved compared to an off-line test.
- DE 10 2008 047 636 A1 shows a device for checking the authenticity of a security document, which has at least one security feature that is electroluminescent at an excitation frequency in a high-voltage alternating field.
- Apparatus includes a sensor unit, which an excitation ⁇ module, a condenser and a detector unit beinhal ⁇ tet.
- the security document is passed through the sensor unit moves, the luminescent light collected by the condenser system and directed to the detector unit, which detects the luminescent light and spectrally evaluated.
- the excitation module has a slot-shaped opening which engages over the path of movement of the security document to be checked with its opposite boundary surfaces.
- the object of the present invention is thus to provide a method and a device with which the verification of a security feature electroluminescent at an excitation frequency in a high-voltage alternating field is more reliable than in the case of the hitherto known ten solutions can be done.
- a method is also to be made available which can be integrated into the production process of a security document in order to be able to reject faulty documents in a timely manner or to be able to initiate appropriate corrective measures for error correction.
- the inventive method for checking electroluminescent security features in security documents preferably comprises the following steps: First, an alternating electric field is generated with the aid of an exciter. Through the alternating electric field, a security document is moved through. The distance between the exciter and the electroluminescent security feature is measured.
- the emission caused by the electroluminescence is measured.
- the intensity value of the measured emission is corrected in dependence on the measured distance, for example by applying a predetermined correla ⁇ tion factor or by recourse to a table of values stored in distance-corrected values, which were determined empirically.
- the distance-corrected intensity value of the emission thus sets one to a predetermined base distance
- One advantage of the solution according to the invention is that the fluctuations in intensity of the measured emission signal that have hitherto occurred due to the influence of the distance between the exciter and the electroluminescent security feature can be compensated or corrected. In comparison with experienced test improves the reliability of the measurement signal.
- reliable data is thus available promptly, on the basis of which a sorting out of defective products can already take place. Any fluctuations in the production process can be compensated immediately. This also minimizes the effort of a final quality control.
- the measuring of the distance is performed by a triangulation measurement by means of LED.
- the distance sensor is in particular ⁇ sondere an LED with a large point of light, for example, of about 2 mm, has proven advantageous.
- a triangulation measurement of the distance to the to be tested safety docu ⁇ ment can be determined very accurately.
- the triangulation sensor preferably used for the measurement operates with an infrared LED in a non-visible wavelength range of about 890 nm.
- the alternating electric field is generated by at least one electrode pair.
- the type of excitation remains constant during the novel process, ie, there is no adjustment of Anre ⁇ supply strength.
- the person skilled in different types of excitation and devices for the realization are known, which he can select depending on the application.
- the typical security document phosphors show a mathematically describable correlation between the distance security feature exciter and the measured intensity of the luminescence. This correlation can be described by an exponential function with a negative coefficient. It has proved to be useful if the assessment of the gemes senen emission by means of the formula given below
- a zuge Anlageni ⁇ ger distance value is detected for each intensity reading.
- This may be an absolu ⁇ th value or a relative indication with respect to a base distance which is set under optimum conditions between the security document to be tested and stuff and Anre ⁇ supply source.
- a particularly good compensation of the intensity fluctuations caused by a different distance can be achieved by the formula given above. In this way, meaningful measurement values are available on the basis of which it can be checked with high reliability whether the security feature has the corresponding properties.
- the security document is moved through the alternating electric field at a maximum speed of 150 m / min. Up to such a speed the measurements can be realized very well. However, it should not be limited to such a maximum speed.
- the values for distance measurement are recorded with a measuring frequency of at least 1 kHz.
- a signal is output if the distance-compensated emission is outside of predefined values. This informs the operating personnel that the security feature no longer possesses the required properties that it must have to verify the security document. In this context, it has also proven to be expedient if the security document is provided with a corresponding marking, by means of which it can immediately be recognized as defective in a later quality control and sorted out.
- the PRODUCTION PLANNING ⁇ process may be, for example, a screen printing process.
- a gcardi ⁇ ger application of the method according to the invention are the special papers produced in paper mills, which are manufactured for the production of banknotes. Corresponding safety markings are printed on these papers. The printing is done denominationscommun. Usually 4, 5 or 6 tracks are printed at the same time.
- the Verdruc ⁇ effect is preferably in Endlossiebdruck. After done Printing and verification of the security feature will be the
- the inventive device for checking security features which comprise at least one electroluminescent security feature, includes an exciter for generating an alternating electric field, a detector for detecting and evaluating the emission caused by the electroluminescence.
- the device according to the invention is characterized in that it additionally has a distance sensor for detecting the distance between the exciter and the electroluminescent security feature.
- the distance sensor is preferably designed as a triangulation sensor.
- the device also comprises a processing unit for processing the data detected by the detector and the distance sensor for generating a distance-compensated signal.
- a common application for the device according to the invention is the screen printing application of electroluminescent
- the device according to the invention is preferably located behind the drying sections.
- the sole FIGURE shows the dependence of the intensity of the emission caused by the electroluminescence on the distance between the exciter and the electroluminescent security feature. To determine this relationship, a constant sample was measured at least 10 times in the example shown. A calibration of the system took place in the selected example to a nominal distance of 1.5 mm (corresponds to 100%). It was measured at intervals of 1.0 mm, 1.25 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.75 mm and 2.0 mm. This corresponds roughly to the usual
- the a-curve shown in the figure can be taken from the considerable fluctuations in intensity. At a distance of 1.0 mm, the intensity value is about 225%. At a distance of 2.0 mm just 40% are measured. Through this strong fluctuations can cause problems in verifying the security feature, since in Abblingigkei, decided by the intensity of the emission, which must exceed a minimum threshold in the relevant color area if the security feature with the required quality ⁇ ty to the security document or its precursor was placed ⁇ . This may happen that due to a larger distance between security feature and Anre ⁇ ger too low intensity is measured and as a result, evaluates the quality of the security feature as not suffi ⁇ accordingly and thus erroneously be faulty offsort becomes.
- faulty security documents can thus not be detected promptly, during the production process, and must be determined with greater effort by a quality control downstream of the production.
- an audible or visual warning signal can be output.
- the security documents identified as defective can be provided with a corresponding marking so that they can subsequently be sorted out as rejects.
- the operating ⁇ personnel can initiate corrective actions in response to the warning signal to adjust, for example, the addition of the electroluminescent pigments.
- there is currently a manual intervention in the Printing process for example, the level of the screen is checked, cleaned the screen or corrected any imbalances in the printing.
- an automatic ⁇ catalyzed correction is possible, so that in response to the determined ⁇ detected measured value - in particular if it is outside predetermined limits - to be applied in the production process subsequent to security documents amount of the security feature is adjusted.
