  • the transport path traveled by the containers is substantially meander-shaped, and depending on the design of the conveying section arranged in the region of the change of direction, also linear sections (eg through the use of a belt transport) can. If the conveying section likewise only has continuous transport stars, then the meandering shape is continuous, although the angle ranges passed through in the region of the conveying section can be smaller than those in the area of the equipment devices.
  • the equipment stars with means for equipment arranged thereon can also provide the conveyor system itself by arranging receptacles for conveying the containers to them.
  • the main conveying path is not formed by every differentially small point of the transported transport route, but by the stations that have passed through as a whole.

  • This can be achieved, for example, by a zigzag arrangement of the equipment devices relative to each other.
  • the zig-zag results from the connection of the individual centers (axes of rotation) of the rounds.
  • a treatment angle of almost 300 ° is possible in this way, but depending on the size of the containers to be treated, a distance for their transport must be allowed past each other when the equipment devices are in the same plane.
  • the equipment devices are, in particular, devices for direct printing on the container outer surfaces, in particular on the side surfaces along the circumference of the containers.

  • the printheads may be movably mounted on the equipment devices.
  • individual printheads accompany the containers during the entire circulation and thus circulate regularly.
  • the printheads will run in synchronism therewith.
  • a motor or manual adjustment of the printheads to the outer contours of the bottles can take place in a bottle format change, for example by reading CAD or image data of the new bottle but also by measuring the new bottle by means of a sensor or a camera.
  • the engines could also be moved up by hand to the new contours of the bottles and this setting stored so that they print the same Bottles, so if they are used again in a time-lag behind production cycle - reusable.
  • a height (in the vertical direction) of the print heads and / or an angle of attack can be adjusted via the motors.
  • the angle of attack is in the plane formed by the machine rotation axis and the circumferential position of the print head on the equipment.
  • an angle of attack can be adjustable, which lies in the horizontal plane. This angle can change the resolution of the print image, especially if the print heads are provided with a plurality of nozzle rows which extend along the print head longitudinal axis.

  • a modular concept for the printing modules and / or pretreatment units is characterized in that further modules can be easily added or removed retrospectively.
  • One point for this can be a uniform transfer of the containers between the modules.
  • Even a uniform size of the modules, in particular a uniform diameter in the case of continuous modules, can offer an advantage in a modular concept to one another when installed. It is also thought that each module also rotates at the same peripheral speed. It may also be advantageous that a container transfer between the modules takes place directly, ie without further interposed conveyor.
  • a direct transfer to another Module be made such that in addition to at least one module, a clamp is arranged, which at least temporarily record the container from the side or can hold - especially in neck handling (in the mouth of the container containers are usually not printed, so here could the clip also stay in constant operation).
  • the clip can be moved away at the moment of printing or treatment to release the container outer surface. This could then represent a sub-element of an enclosure (see below). The same applies to an above-mentioned Neckhandlingklammer if the container is to be printed in the area of its mouth yet.
  • the centering heads and the bottom receptacles of the transferring module can be moved so far apart, in particular in the vertical direction, for the transfer of the containers, that the centering heads and the bottom receptacles of the receiving module space in between. After moving apart, the container is held only by the clip of the transferring module until the centering heads and the bottom receptacles of the receiving module are engaged with the container.
  • clamps can also be arranged on the transferring and receiving module, which grips the containers, for example, alternately above a transport ring and below this ring.
  • the centering heads and the bottom receptacles of at least one module would still have to be moved apart as just described.
  • the treatment positions of the receiving and transferring carousel can be offset by half a pitch to each other, so that the respective centering heads and the bottom seats of the two carousels mesh with each other - like two gears.
  • a transfer to the receiving carousel could take place in which either a clamp takes over the container or directly the respective centering heads and the bottom receptacles. In this way, a very space-saving installation can be realized.
  • a continuous transport of the containers or the container groups takes place in the equipment system at least temporarily and at least in regions.
  • each container can be positioned during printing a protection or the aforementioned housing, which is substantially sleeve-shaped.
  • the protection can also be formed by a plurality of elements, wherein one element is fixed with respect to the carousel or the turntable and another element for removing the container from the protection is arranged movable. With it can be prevented that too much pressure mist is distributed in the machine. In particular, a suction is attached to the protection.
  • the protection avoids in particular air turbulence.
  • a clip for holding the container is part of the guard, it has a seal with the clip at the locations where the clip must be moved to grip the container. As a seal, for example bellows, but also brushes can be used.

  • a rotary encoder can also be arranged on the turntable or at least outside the housing of the turntable drive. In particular, it is arranged closer to the container to be printed as the housing of the drive. It would also be conceivable to provide a part of the shaft with a larger diameter and to install there the rotary encoder.
  • the encoder detects differently magnetized regions of the wave to be detected, but in certain embodiments it could also work optically.
  • the encoder could also detect the rotational position of the container itself by optical means.
  • Precise positioning is particularly important when using multiple modules when colors must be brought together to a specific position on the container. If slight tolerances occur here, these can add up and the quality of the pressure suffers all the more. In particular, in the equipment machine directly after the conveyor section according to the invention, a precise positioning can be very useful.
  • At least one equipment device in particular on a module, a rotary encoder, with which the rotational position of the equipment device is detected.
  • the detected values are in particular forwarded to a controller and serve to control the print heads or nozzles and / or the turntables.
  • a controller which is connected to another input with a camera (or the above-mentioned sensor, which detects a reference mark on the container).
  • a camera it is possible to determine the current rotational position of a container before or at the beginning of an equipment module. The determined rotational position is evaluated by the controller and compared with a desired value which specifies in which rotational position an equipment or a pressure of the container should begin. The container is then around the respective angular difference from actual to target rotated.
  • a camera can sit in front of or on each individual equipment device, but in particular at least at the beginning of the installation, in particular also after or at the end of the conveyor section, at which no decoration of the containers takes place.
  • a rotational position of a container in the transfer of an equipment to the next equipment by a form or friction, so to speak mechanically can be ensured - for example, by using a slave running with the container or by a very precise transfer - so it is possible that the container between the equipment devices does not have to be aligned.
  • Alignment prior to entry into the equipment installation may, for example, be done by camera or by maintaining the rotational orientation if the equipment installation is preceded by a blow molding machine.
  • the rotational position of the containers is predetermined in a blow mold by the analysis of the containers on the blow molding wall.
  • a printing original can be matched to each individual container in the subsequent printing process, in which the original is scaled at least in the circumferential direction.
  • a particular direct transfer of the container from one printing module to the next printing module can be carried out with or without reorienting the container.
  • the pressure could begin with a different color at a different rotational position along the circumference than the pressure in the upstream equipment module has ended or begun.
  • the pressure of the downstream module may begin at a different angular range with respect to the container circumference than the pressure in the upstream module has commenced and / or ended.

  • the beginning of the printing of the downstream module could be offset by 180 ° from the print-forming end of the upstream one Be module. An alignment could then be dispensed with and process time is gained.
  • the containers can also be rotated in the downstream module to the beginning or end of a pressure of the upstream module and the printing of the next color only started there. It would thus be conceivable, in principle, to align the container before or in a pressure module before the beginning of the pressure in such a way that the pressure begins at the same rotational position as in the upstream module. This is particularly advantageous if only a part of a circumference of a container to be printed.

  • the orientation of the container can also be done already in the upstream printing module.
  • This can also be regulated depending on the required process angles of the modules. For example, if less color (lower resolution of one color, less angular range in which that color is needed) for printing the artwork in the upstream Module is required as in the downstream module, so the alignment can already take place in the upstream module.
  • the location (the module) where alignment of the containers takes place is predetermined based on the process time required in each module. This can be done automatically by detecting the artwork or manually set. The alignment can also be done in two steps by the container is rotated on the upstream module only a part of the required rotation angle after printing and on the subsequent module, the rest.

  • FIG. 6a It can be seen that the container 7 rotates clockwise during printing while being transported counterclockwise along the circumference of the module. In the left position in the left module, the print is already half finished. Approximately after half of a complete revolution of module 2.3, ie after about 180 ° (in the lower position), the partial print image is completely applied in a first color. Now the container 7 can be brought into the correct orientation even before the transfer to the next module 2.4. This can be seen in the left module 2.3 in the lower right position.

  • FIG. 6b the steps until the completion of the first partial print image are identical to FIG. 6a , After its completion (left module, position below) the rotation is stopped. Due to the fact that the partial print image extends exactly over 180 ° along the container circumference, the starting edge of the first partial print image is at the position in which it faces the print head 9 of the next module 2.4 when it is transferred to the next module 2.4. The pressure can be continued immediately at the edge in the next module 2.4. The direction of rotation of the container 7 (clockwise) is maintained in the next module. Here you can see how treatment time can be gained in principle. But it may also be advantageous to the container 7 as in FIG. 6a shown by default continue to turn in the same direction until the first coming edge of the printhead 9 of the next module 2.4 faces.
