  • Fig. 1 shows a labeling machine according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the labeling machine 100 preferably comprises a carousel 101 and two transporters 180 and 181.
  • the containers 150 can be transported to the labeling machine or the carousel 101 or be transported away therefrom.
  • a rotary star 140 may be provided, which takes over the container from the feed dog 180 and passes to the carousel 101.
  • a rotary star 141 may be provided which transfers the labeled containers from the carousel 101 to the feed dog 181.
  • all other common devices for transporting containers and for transferring containers are also suitable here.
  • the carousel 101 forms a transport route in which the containers are transported. It should be noted that other versions of such a transport route For example, in the form of linear transport routes are conceivable.
  • the containers are preferably transported by means of or in container stations. This may be conventional means for transporting containers, such as turntables that are conveyed on a conveyor along the transport route through the carousel or rotatable brackets that grip the container at a certain point and hold, in the case of bottles preferably on the neck ring.
  • the labeling machine 100 in this embodiment comprises six labeling units 111 to 123. These are preferably distributed equidistantly on the circumference of the carousel 101. According to this embodiment, the labeling units 111, 112 and 113 are combined to form the labeling group 110 and the labeling units 121, 122 and 123 to the labeling group 120. In this embodiment, one in the Fig. 1 not shown control unit individually control the labeling groups. It is provided that the labeling groups 110 and 120 are each suitable for applying labels to containers, wherein the applied labels of the first Etikettierrios 110 may have a different format than that of the second Etikettierska 120. With regard to the number of labeling units, this embodiment in principle can also be realized with more labeling units.
  • each labeling group preferably takes on a different labeling task from the rest of the labeling group, a correspondingly large device is suitable for carrying out 2 + n different labeling tasks, that is, for example, applying 2 + n different labels to a container.
  • the labeling units 111 to 113 and 121 to 123 perform different tasks in the respective labeling group.
  • the labeling unit 111 and the labeling unit 113 are provided as working labeling units.
  • the labeling unit 112 is provided as a reserve unit. This means that the labeling units 111 and 113 primarily take over the labeling. It is intended that for a given label, either the labeling unit 111 or the labeling unit 113 is the main working labeling unit. Should the supply of labels on this labeling unit run low, then the backup labeling unit 112 is automatically jumped. Of course, this applies accordingly to the other labeling group 120.
  • a sensor measures when the roll on the labeling unit 111 is empty, and based on this sensor data, the control unit can continue the label task by means of continue the second working Etikettieraggregats 113 without the backup unit 112 must jump in.
  • Fig. 2a the labeling units 111, 112 and 113 are shown.
  • all labeling units 111 to 113 are equipped with the same label type, which is designated as grade A.
  • grade A the label type
  • the leading labeling unit (first coming in the direction of transport of the containers) 111 provides the containers with the type A labels. It may be, but need not be, provided that normal operation provides that, if all label rolls of grade A on the labeling unit 11 are running low, the labeling unit 113 provided as a second working labeling unit will continue to label the containers.
  • the reserve unit 112 first takes over the labeling of the containers.
  • the speed V T is the transport speed of the containers.
  • Fig. 2b to 2d taken.
  • the labeling unit 113 may have been equipped before conversion either with grade A or with another type of label. Since the labeling unit 111 as the primary working labeling unit, the containers equipped with the label type A and the reserve unit 112 is also equipped with the same label type, the conversion of the labeling unit 113 can be performed on the variety B easily.
  • the reserve unit 112 with the same label type A is still available here. This ensures that one of the two working labeling units (here the labeling unit 113 ') has already been converted to the new type of label B, while normal operation with the label type A is continued.
  • the labeling unit 113 ' is the sorting B for primary grade working. It can now be started directly with the labeling of the container with the new label type B, or the retrofitted labeling is initially held until further conversions (for example, at least the reserve unit) are completed. Next is the transition to Fig. 2c Also the reserve unit 112 converted to the new label type B.
  • the thus converted labeling units 112 'and 113' are now sufficient in each case to perform the labeling with type B.
  • the time 2t V is available on the labeling unit 111 of grade A until the next container is to be labeled with the new label type B in order to ensure this conversion.
  • the labeling process on the labeling unit 113 ' is continued with the first container to be labeled with the label type B.
  • the reserve unit has already been converted to the label type B, in this case two labeling units 112 'and 113' are available in order to allow redundant labeling of the containers with the label type B.
  • the labeling unit 113 ' is the primary working labeling unit.
  • the labeling unit 111 can then also after completion of the labeling of the last container with grade A and after retooling the labeling units 112, 113 converted to grade B, or this unit is converted directly to a third grade.
  • this conversion process is started with the labeling unit 111 ', after which the reserve unit 112 'is converted and then retrofitted in the case of the type B as a primary working labeling unit labeling unit 113' to the variety C.
  • the six labeling units are combined into three labeling groups.
  • FIG. 3a shows the labeling units 311 and 312 for the first labeling group 310, the labeling units 321 and 322 for the second labeling group 320 and the labeling units 331 and 332 for the third labeling group 330 are summarized.
  • the three labeling groups 310, 320 and 330 apply different labels to the container.
  • one of the aggregates of the labeling group 310-330 can be provided as a working labeling unit and the second labeling unit as a reserve unit. So at least a certain redundancy is achieved and with the arrangement of the reserve unit at a distance to the working unit, as in Fig. 2a shown, the number of incorrectly produced containers can also be reduced here.
  • both units of the labeling groups can be provided as working and as reserve units. It can thus be provided that when labeling containers with grade A in the first labeling group 310, the first labeling unit 311 (in the transport direction) is the working unit and the labeling unit 312 is held as a reserve unit.
  • the labeling unit 312 can be switched to the new label type B be realized so that the first container which follows the last labeled with sort A container in the labeling unit 311, with the Label type B is labeled.
  • the fact that the first containers to be labeled with grade B require at least the time t V to reach the second labeling unit 312 will allow the labeling unit 311 to be retooled so that even in the case of an immediate malfunction of working with sorting B labeling unit 312 at most a committee is produced, which corresponds to the number of transported during the time t V from the labeling unit 311 to the labeling unit 312 container.
  • a special arrangement of belonging to a labeling labeling systems can be realized.
  • the first labeling unit 311 and the second labeling unit 312 of the first labeling group 310 are the first labeling units of the second and third labeling group, ie the labeling units 321 and 331.
  • the labeling units 322 and 332 follow the labeling unit 312.
  • the thus increased spacing of the labeling units the first, second and third Etikettieroli ensures a longer transport time of the container on the carousel between the first and second labeling of a respective Etikettierrios.
