During this rise of the punch, the pusher 51 holds the pellet 20 inside the body of the punch.
- the band 3 is slid between the punch 50 and the thin sheet 2 to bring the area corresponding to the insert to be cut just under the punch. During this movement of the band, the punch remains immobile, as well as the substrate and the thin sheet.
- the punch 50 is lowered to cut the insert 30 in the band 3, the pusher 51 remaining indented so as not to press on the insert being cut, and then, in a second stage, figure 7 , the punch 50 continues its stroke a little, without reaching the substrate 1, and simultaneously the pusher 51 causes the insert 30 cut into the cavity 21 of the thin sheet 2 released previously, the pellet 20 serving as an intermediate between the pusher and the insert during this insertion.

- the invention is not limited to the embodiment and application described above solely by way of example.
- the invention can be used to place many types of inserts, such as transparent viewing window, electronic module, printed circuit board, screen, element of material or color different from those of the thin sheet, etc. in a cavity formed in said thin sheet and without any clearance between the insert and the cavity.
- the thin sheet may be assembled with the support substrate prior to placement on the table.

Description
La présente invention concerne un nouveau procédé et un nouveau dispositif pour la mise en place d'un insert dans une cavité formée dans un produit en feuille mince, typiquement ayant une épaisseur inférieure à 2 mm, et plus particulièrement inférieure à 300 µm.The present invention relates to a novel method and device for placing an insert in a cavity formed in a thin sheet product, typically having a thickness of less than 2 mm, and more particularly less than 300 μm.
L'invention se situe particulièrement mais non exclusivement dans le domaine des cartes électroniques, ou cartes à puces, ou autres documents minces en matière plastique, typiquement en polycarbonate et pouvant contenir un ou des circuits électroniques, tels que par exemples une feuille de données utilisée dans certains passeports. Dans le domaine des cartes à puces, on connaît bien les difficultés rencontrées par les fabricants de cartes pour réaliser l'insertion des modules électroniques équipant ces cartes dans les corps de carte, et cela avec le moins de jeu possible entre ledit module et son logement formé dans une couche constitutive du corps de carte. Plus récemment, s'est également posé le problème de la mise en place, dans l'épaisseur du corps de carte, de divers inserts tels que des inserts transparents pouvant porter ou non des informations imprimées ou gravées sur une de leur face, destinée à être placée à l'intérieur de la carte, la transparence du matériau de l'insert permettant un accès visuel aux dites informations et plus généralement apportant une sécurité supplémentaire contre la copie. Ces informations peuvent être par exemple une image, une photographie ou des informations lisibles uniquement par un lecteur spécifique, par exemple des inscriptions faites au moyen d'une encre sensible aux rayons laser, etc. L'insert peut aussi comporter un dispositif électronique actif ou passif, tel qu'une puce électronique, une antenne RFID, etc.The invention is particularly but not exclusively in the field of electronic cards, or smart cards, or other thin plastic documents, typically polycarbonate and may contain one or more electronic circuits, such as for example a data sheet used in some passports. In the field of smart cards, we are well aware of the difficulties encountered by card manufacturers to achieve the insertion of the electronic modules equipping these cards in the card bodies, and with the least possible clearance between said module and its housing formed in a constituent layer of the card body. More recently, there has also been the problem of setting up, in the thickness of the card body, various inserts such as transparent inserts which may or may not carry printed or engraved information on one of their faces, intended for to be placed inside the card, the transparency of the material of the insert allowing visual access to said information and more generally providing additional security against copying. This information may be for example an image, a photograph or information readable only by a specific reader, for example inscriptions made using a laser-sensitive ink, etc. The insert may also comprise an active or passive electronic device, such as an electronic chip, an RFID antenna, etc.
De manière générale, il est recherché que l'élément fonctionnel inséré, porté par l'insert lui-même, soit intégré dans l'épaisseur de la carte finie, sans espace, entre la périphérie de l'insert et la cavité formée dans le corps de carte qui le reçoit.In general, it is desired that the inserted functional element, carried by the insert itself, be integrated in the thickness of the finished card, without space, between the periphery of the insert and the cavity formed in the card body that receives it.
Les techniques actuelles pour mettre en place un tel insert dans la cavité constituant son logement consistent, d'une part, à découper les inserts et, d'autre part, à réaliser les cavités dans les corps de carte, ces opérations étant effectuées par moulage, usinage, découpe laser ou poinçonnage. Puis on place chaque insert dans sa cavité au moyen de machines multiaxes robotisées, de haute précision pour permettre le positionnement précis de chaque insert face à sa cavité, la plupart de ces machines étant de plus pourvue d'un système de contrôle par vision assistée.The current techniques for setting up such an insert in the cavity constituting its housing consist, on the one hand, in cutting the inserts and, on the other hand, in making the cavities in the card bodies, these operations being carried out by molding , machining, laser cutting or punching. Each insert is then placed in its cavity by means of high-precision robotic multiaxis machines to allow the precise positioning of each insert in front of its cavity, most of these machines being furthermore equipped with a vision assisted vision control system.
La difficulté de cette insertion est importante notamment du fait de la faible épaisseur de la couche, couramment en polycarbonate, dans laquelle est formée la cavité, et de la faible épaisseur de l'insert, épaisseurs qui peuvent être de l'ordre de 50 µm seulement, ou même moins. Malgré la sophistication des machines utilisées, le jeu entre l'insert et la cavité ne peut être réduit à moins de 0,05 à 0,10 mm.The difficulty of this insertion is important in particular because of the small thickness of the layer, commonly made of polycarbonate, in which the cavity is formed, and the small thickness of the insert, thicknesses which may be of the order of 50 μm. only, or even less. Despite the sophistication of the machines used, the clearance between the insert and the cavity can not be reduced to less than 0.05 to 0.10 mm.
La présente invention a pour but d'une part de supprimer totalement ce jeu et, d'autre part, de diminuer la complexité des installations utilisées actuellement, et donc de réduire les coûts de fabrications de cartes ou produits minces similaires comportant des inserts.The present invention aims on the one hand to completely eliminate this game and, on the other hand, to reduce the complexity of the facilities currently used, and thus reduce the cost of manufacturing card or similar thin products with inserts.
Avec ces objectifs en vue, l'invention a pour objet un procédé de mise en place d'un insert dans une cavité formée dans un produit en feuille mince, selon lequel l'insert est découpé dans un film puis placé dans ladite cavité.With these objectives in view, the subject of the invention is a method of placing an insert in a cavity formed in a thin sheet product, according to which the insert is cut in a film and placed in said cavity.
Selon l'invention, le procédé est caractérisé en ce que, après avoir placé la feuille sur une surface de support, on effectue la succession d'étapes suivantes :
- a) on réalise la cavité par poinçonnage de la feuille au moyen d'un poinçon de découpe tubulaire comportant un poussoir intérieur et dont l'arête de coupe a la forme désirée de la cavité et de l'insert, le poinçon étant abaissé orthogonalement à la feuille, de manière que son arête traverse l'épaisseur de la feuille et découpe dans celle-ci une pastille,
- b) on relève le poinçon avec la pastille maintenue à l'intérieur du poinçon, de manière à dégager entre la face supérieure de la feuille et le poinçon un espace suffisant pour y placer le film,
- c) sans déplacer la feuille, on amène le film entre la feuille et l'arête du poinçon, le film étant appliqué contre la feuille,
- d) on abaisse à nouveau le poinçon de manière à découper l'insert dans le film puis à pousser l'insert ainsi découpé dans la cavité au moyen du poussoir,
- e) on retire le poinçon puis le poussoir, l'insert étant maintenu en place dans la cavité.
- a) the cavity is made by punching the sheet by means of a tubular cutting punch having an inner pusher and whose cutting edge has the desired shape of the cavity and the insert, the punch being lowered orthogonally to the sheet, so that its edge passes through the thickness of the sheet and cuts therein a pellet,
- b) the punch is raised with the pellet held inside the punch, so as to clear between the upper face of the sheet and the punch sufficient space to place the film,
- c) without moving the sheet, the film is brought between the sheet and the edge of the punch, the film being applied against the sheet,
- d) again lowering the punch so as to cut the insert in the film and then push the insert thus cut into the cavity by means of the pusher,
- e) the punch is removed and then the pusher, the insert being held in place in the cavity.
Lors de l'étape d) l'insert est découpé exactement à la même forme et mêmes dimensions que la cavité, puisque les deux découpes sont effectuées, successivement, par le même poinçon. De plus, puisqu'il n'y a pas de déplacement, transversalement à l'axe du poinçon, de la feuille dans laquelle la cavité est découpée par rapport audit poinçon entre l'étape de découpe de la cavité et l'étape de découpe de l'insert, le positionnement exact de l'insert par rapport à la cavité réceptrice est automatiquement assuré, sans besoin de mécanismes de haute précision ni de moyens de contrôle et de vision assisté.During step d) the insert is cut exactly to the same shape and dimensions as the cavity, since the two cuts are made, successively, by the same punch. In addition, since there is no displacement, transversely to the axis of the punch, of the sheet in which the cavity is cut with respect to said punch between the step of cutting the cavity and the step of cutting the insert, the exact positioning of the insert relative to the receiving cavity is automatically ensured, without the need for mechanisms of high precision or control means and of assisted vision.
Ainsi, grâce à l'invention, il est possible d'assurer la mise en place d'un insert dans une cavité de manière très précise, sans jeu périphérique entre l'insert et la cavité, et sans nécessiter d'investissements coûteux en machines et équipements de haute précision.Thus, thanks to the invention, it is possible to ensure the placement of an insert in a cavity in a very precise manner, without peripheral clearance between the insert and the cavity, and without the need for expensive investments in machinery. and high precision equipment.
Selon une disposition préférentielle pour l'application du procédé à échelle industrielle, pour la mise en place successivement de plusieurs inserts dans des cavités respectives, on réalise après l'étape e) l'étape suivante :
- f) sans déplacer le film, on déplace la feuille et son support pour amener face au poinçon une zone de découpe d'une nouvelle cavité,
- f) without moving the film, the sheet and its support are moved to bring a cutting zone of a new cavity facing the punch,
Lors de cette mise en oeuvre industrielle, une étape préliminaire est réalisée lors du premier cycle, consistant à effectuer dans le film la découpe d'un premier insert, permettant d'obtenir l'orifice requis pour passer le poinçon lors de l'étape a), ce premier insert étant alors évacué sans être utilisé.During this industrial implementation, a preliminary step is performed during the first cycle, consisting in making in the film the cutting of a first insert, to obtain the orifice required to pass the punch during step a ), this first insert then being evacuated without being used.
La pastille peut être dégagée hors du poinçon entre l'étape b) et l'étape d), le poussoir agissant alors directement sur l'insert lors de l'étape d) pour pousser l'insert dans sa cavité.The pellet may be disengaged from the punch between step b) and step d), the pusher then acting directly on the insert during step d) to push the insert into its cavity.
Toutefois, selon un mode de mise en oeuvre préférentiel, lors du relevage du poinçon à l'étape b), la pastille est maintenue à l'intérieur du poinçon, et sert de pièce intermédiaire entre le poussoir et l'insert pour pousser l'insert dans sa cavité lors de l'étape e).However, according to a preferred embodiment, during the lifting of the punch in step b), the pellet is held inside the punch, and serves as an intermediate piece between the pusher and the insert to push the pin. insert in its cavity during step e).
Préférentiellement encore, la pastille est maintenue à l'intérieur du poinçon par aspiration contre le poussoir, ce mode de maintien permettant d'assurer que la pastille restera bien en place contre la paroi frontale du poussoir, pendant les étapes où elle sert de pièce intermédiaire pour presser l'insert au fond de sa cavité, et jusqu'à son éjection hors du poinçon.Preferably again, the pellet is held inside the punch by suction against the pusher, this mode of maintenance to ensure that the pellet will remain in place against the front wall of the pusher, during the stages where it serves as an intermediate piece to press the insert at the bottom of its cavity, and up to its ejection out of the punch.
Dans le mode de mise en oeuvre préférentiel, la pastille est éjectée hors du poinçon et évacuée après l'étape e), cette opération d'éjection et d'évacuation de la pastille découpée dans la feuille pouvant alors être effectuée en temps masqué pendant le déplacement de la feuille et du support de l'étape f), ce qui permet de réduire le temps de cycle.In the preferred embodiment, the pellet is ejected from the punch and discharged after step e), this operation of ejection and evacuation of the pellet cut in the sheet can then be performed in masked time during the moving the sheet and the support of step f), which reduces the cycle time.
Selon une disposition particulière, notamment lorsque la feuille et l'insert sont de faible épaisseur, la surface de support de la feuille est constituée par un substrat de support qui est associé avec la feuille de manière fixe, ledit substrat et la feuille se déplaçant donc simultanément, et pouvant être liés par lamination. Une telle disposition s'applique notamment dans le cas de la mise en oeuvre de l'invention pour la fabrication de cartes à puces ou similaires avec une feuille de faible épaisseur, par exemple de moins de 100 µm. Dans le cas de feuilles ou inserts plus épais, il est possible de ne pas utiliser de substrat de support. En effet l'ajustement précis de l'insert et de la cavité permettra à l'insert d'être suffisamment bloqué et retenu sur ses chants dans la cavité, pour permettre un minimum de manipulation de la feuille avec les inserts, avant de passer à une étape ultérieure d'assemblage de différentes couches, comportant notamment la dite feuille, et formant ensemble le corps de carte, puis d'effectuer la lamination des ces couches pour obtenir le corps de carte incluant l'insert.According to a particular arrangement, especially when the sheet and the insert are of small thickness, the support surface of the sheet is constituted by a support substrate which is associated with the sheet in a fixed manner, said substrate and the moving sheet therefore simultaneously, and can be linked by lamination. Such an arrangement applies in particular in the case of the implementation of the invention for the manufacture of smart cards or the like with a thin sheet, for example less than 100 microns. In the case of thicker sheets or inserts, it is possible not to use a support substrate. Indeed the precise adjustment of the insert and the cavity will allow the insert to be sufficiently blocked and retained on its edges in the cavity, to allow a minimum of manipulation of the sheet with the inserts, before proceeding to a subsequent step of assembling different layers, including including the said sheet, and together forming the card body, then to laminate these layers to obtain the card body including the insert.
Lorsque le procédé est mis en oeuvre en utilisant un substrat de support lié à la feuille, lors de l'étape d), le poussoir presse l'insert au fond de la cavité, contre le substrat de support, de manière à faire adhérer l'insert sur ledit substrat, sous le seul effet du contact face contre face entre l'insert et le substrat de support. Pour faciliter et renforcer cette adhésion, l'étape d) pourra être réalisée avec un préchauffage des matériaux, notamment de l'insert, pour rendre celui-ci plus adhésif, et/ou un apport de chaleur par le poussoir, lequel pourra, à cet effet, comporter des moyens de chauffage.When the process is carried out using a support substrate bonded to the sheet, during step d), the pusher presses the insert at the bottom of the cavity, against the support substrate, so as to adhere the insert on said substrate, under the sole effect of face-to-face contact between the insert and the support substrate. To facilitate and reinforce this adhesion, step d) can be carried out with a preheating of the materials, in particular the insert, to make it more adhesive, and / or a heat input by the pusher, which can, at this effect include heating means.
Pour la mise en place d'inserts dans des cartes, notamment des cartes à puce comportant l'assemblage d'un élément de substrat et d'un élément de feuille mince de même dimension, le substrat de support et la feuille mince ont une dimension transversale déterminée pour y former une pluralité de cartes, et on réalise les différentes étapes simultanément sur autant de postes de découpe et de mise en place d'inserts, répartis selon la direction transversale. Alternativement, on peut aussi utiliser un nombre de postes de découpe et de mise en place d'inserts inférieur au nombre de cartes réparties transversalement, de préférence un sous multiple du nombre de cartes, et on déplace les postes de découpe et de mise en place selon la direction transversale. Quelque soit le cas, le film est préférentiellement une bande dans laquelle un seul insert est découpé dans sa largeur, chaque poste de découpe et de mise en place étant alimenté par cette bande indépendamment des autres postes. Alternativement, on peut aussi utiliser un film large, par exemple de même largeur que le substrat de support et la feuille mince, et alimenter tous les postes de découpe et de mise en place simultanément pour y découper et mettre en simultanément les inserts de tous les corps de carte répartis sur cette largeur. Ainsi, le procédé selon l'invention permet, grâce à l'absence de nécessité de rechercher une très grande précision dans le positionnement des inserts par rapport aux cavités correspondantes, d'effectuer les opérations de découpe et d'insertion de manière particulièrement rapide et économe, tout en garantissant qu'il n'y aura pas d'espace périphérique entre les inserts et les cavités.For inserting inserts into cards, including chip cards having the assembly of a substrate member and a thin sheet member of the same size, the support substrate and the thin sheet have a dimension cross-section determined to form a plurality of cards, and the different steps are carried out simultaneously on as many cutting stations and insertion of inserts, distributed in the transverse direction. Alternatively, it is also possible to use a number of cutting and inserter insertion stations smaller than the number of transversally distributed cards, preferably a sub-multiple of the number of cards, and the cutting and setting stations are moved. in the transverse direction. Whatever the case, the film is preferably a strip in which only one insert is cut in its width, each cutting and positioning station being fed by this band independently of the other stations. Alternatively, it is also possible to use a wide film, for example of the same width as the substrate of support and the thin sheet, and feed all the cutting and setting stations simultaneously to cut and put simultaneously the inserts of all the card bodies distributed over this width. Thus, the method according to the invention makes it possible, thanks to the absence of any need to seek a very high precision in the positioning of the inserts with respect to the corresponding cavities, to perform the cutting and insertion operations in a particularly rapid manner and economical, while guaranteeing that there will be no peripheral space between inserts and cavities.
L'invention a aussi pour objet un dispositif pour la mise en place d'un insert découpé dans un film, dans une cavité formée dans une feuille mince, conformément au procédé défini précédemment, le dispositif comportant :

La machine représentée
Dans l'exemple de mise en oeuvre illustré
Dans l'exemple présenté, le substrat 1 et la feuille mince 2 sont déposés sur la table 12 sous forme de deux ensembles comportant chacun un substrat 1 et une feuille mince 2 prédécoupés de forme rectangulaire et pré-assemblés de manière connue en soi, et dont les dimensions sont déterminées pour réaliser, dans chaque ensemble de substrat 1 et feuille 2, 48 corps de cartes. On pourra bien entendu utiliser tout autre format selon besoins.In the example presented, the
Le substrat 1 est typiquement une plaque de polycarbonate opaque, par exemple blanc, de 100 µm d'épaisseur, et la feuille mince 2 un polycarbonate opaque de 50 µm, ces épaisseurs n'étant données qu'à titre indicatif, nullement limitatif.The
La bande mince 3 dans laquelle les inserts 30 sont découpés est formée d'un film en polycarbonate transparent portant sur une face une enduction 31 pouvant présenter un motif quelconque qui doit se retrouver intégré mais visible dans l'épaisseur du corps de carte suite à la mise en place de l'insert. On pourra cependant mettre en oeuvre l'invention avec d'autres types d'inserts, en d'autres matériaux transparents ou non, et pour assurer d'autres fonctions, par exemple pour intégrer dans le corps de carte une antenne RFID. L'épaisseur de la bande 3, et donc de l'insert et de son impression, est typiquement la même que celle de la feuille mince 2, mais elle pourrait aussi être différente, en particulier plus petite. De manière générale, il est prévu de placer, après la mise en place de l'insert 30, une ou plusieurs couches supplémentaires de protection sur la feuille mince, l'ensembles de couches, substrat, feuille mince avec insert et autres feuilles de protection étant laminées ensembles ensuite pour constituer le corps de carte fini.The
Chaque ensemble 10 de découpe et de placement des inserts comporte un poinçon 50 tubulaire de découpe, mobile selon une direction axiale, et un poussoir 51 coulissant à l'intérieur du poinçon. Le poinçon tubulaire a une section intérieure de forme et de dimensions identiques à celles de l'insert 30 à mettre en place et donc de la cavité 21 à réaliser. L'extrémité inférieure du poinçon constitue l'arrête de coupe 52 en biseau, de manière connue en soi. Un poussoir 51 est guidé en translation à l'intérieur du poinçon 50 selon la direction axiale, ce poussoir 51 comporte des conduits d'aspiration 53 traversants débouchant à la face frontale 54 du poussoir 51, connectés par leurs autres extrémités à une centrale d'aspiration non représentée.Each set 10 of cutting and placement of the inserts comprises a cutting

Enfin, lors de l'étape f), représentée
L'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation et à l'application décrits ci-dessus uniquement à titre d'exemple. En particulier, l'invention pourra être utilisée pour placer de nombreux types d'inserts, tels que fenêtre transparente de visualisation, module électronique, circuit imprimé, écran, élément de matière ou de couleur différente de celles de la feuille mince, etc. dans une cavité formée dans ladite feuille mince et sans aucun jeu entre l'insert et la cavité. La feuille mince peut être assemblée avec le substrat de support préalablement à la mise en place sur la table. Le film dans lequel les inserts sont découpés peut aussi être, au lieu d'une simple bande, un film large, par exemple de même largeur que la feuille mince, commun pour toutes les têtes de découpe. Plusieurs couches de matériau en feuilles peuvent être placés sous la feuille mince recevant l'insert et une ou plusieurs couches peuvent aussi être placées au-dessus de la feuille mince après y avoir placé l'insert. L'invention est particulièrement destinée à la mise en place d'insert dans des cartes, de type carte à puce, carte bancaire, carte d'identification, etc., c'est à dire typiquement des cartes en polycarbonate ayant une épaisseur de moins de 1 mm. Elle peut également être utilisée pour la mise en place d'inserts dans des documents minces en matière plastique, typiquement en polycarbonate, tels que par exemple une feuille de données utilisée dans certains passeports, ou encore pour des produits en feuilles plus épais, par exemple jusqu'à deux mm ou même plus, et dans d'autres matières plastiques ou autres matériaux.The invention is not limited to the embodiment and application described above solely by way of example. In particular, the invention can be used to place many types of inserts, such as transparent viewing window, electronic module, printed circuit board, screen, element of material or color different from those of the thin sheet, etc. in a cavity formed in said thin sheet and without any clearance between the insert and the cavity. The thin sheet may be assembled with the support substrate prior to placement on the table. The film in which the inserts are cut can also be, instead of a single strip, a wide film, for example of the same width as the thin sheet, common for all cutting heads. Several layers of material in sheets can be placed under the thin sheet receiving the insert and one or more layers can also be placed above the thin sheet after placing the insert. The invention is particularly intended for the insertion of an insert in cards, such as a smart card, bank card, identification card, etc., ie typically polycarbonate cards having a thickness of less than of 1 mm. It can also be used for inserting inserts in thin plastic documents, typically polycarbonate, such as for example a data sheet used in some passports, or for products in thicker sheets, for example up to two mm or more, and in other plastics or other materials.
