Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for label application on a box, in particular bottle crate, according to the preambles of the independent claims, which are directed to a method and a device.
- the invention relates to the bottle crate sector, that is, crates containing various beverages such as beer, water, lemonade, and the like.
- crates are needed in large quantities and with the crates, the beverage manufacturer and the brewery tries more and more to stand out from its competitors by an independent box design and label design. Therefore, it depends on the design of the box, as far as the design is concerned, as well as on the labeling, that is, the attachment of appropriate means of identification.
- the focus is to achieve the largest possible advertising effect by a flawless and qualitatively salient label arrangement on the box at appropriate locations.
- Labels on the bottle crate are usually mounted on the box by means of so-called IML films, ie in-mold films which are applied to the outside of the bottle crate at suitably selected locations.
- IML films ie in-mold films which are applied to the outside of the bottle crate at suitably selected locations.
- Such in-mold labels are formed from plastic films and are used in single-layer and multi-layered form, in particular with transparent protective films and the like. These films usually carry the name and logo of the beverage manufacturer or brewery, the brand name of the product, which is distributed through the bottle crates, and also contain corresponding optical designs and packaging that are important for the marketing of beverage manufacturers and breweries.
- IML label in-mold label
- these crates usually have to guarantee cycle times of up to 10 years, so it is also essential that the quality effect of
- In-mold labeling means placing the IML film on the tool jaws or mold jaws of an injection mold prior to the injection process and then, after closing the mold jaws to form the injection mold, inject the hot and thus molten plastic into the mold cavity. This has the consequence that the arranged on the inside of the tool jaws or corresponding tool components film is intimately connected via a hot melt composite with the box produced by injection molding, with the outside thereof. This ensures a permanent bond.
- the DE 10 2004 063 348 AI is concerned with the individualization of beverage crates by applying beverage brands and indeed labels in the form of printed films and the like.
- the film is applied only after production of the bottle crate by injection molding on its own sealing process to the desired location of the box. It is therefore a relatively complex process, which was hardly used in practice or replaced by the usual IML film, which is permanently molded directly to the injection-molded box by injection molding automatically by hot melt bond.
- DE 10 2005 013 723 B3 relates to specially designed injection molding tools for applying labels to beverage crates, which are back-injected with the injection of the plastic in the mold cavity and thus firmly connected to the box.
- the mold jaws of the injection mold each have associated contour ridges, which can be moved between demolding and spraying position and in the injection position have a closed, circumferential hollow space-side boundary surface, each with a receptacle for the label.
- the contour edges are positively coupled with the support jaws adjusted to the spray position, wherein in an encircling cavity side provided recess an insert for a film is limited.
- the back molding and thus the composite of the label is done with the box produced by injection molding.
- a gap remains between the two label ends, which is visually disadvantageous.
- the label ends may slip relative to one another, so that this may also result in an unsightly appearance and thus a disadvantageous label arrangement on the box.
- the object of the invention is to optimize the IML labeling of such boxes, especially crates, in particular to avoid the limitation to corner areas of crates.
- This is a simple application of the film in a mechanized process flow in the foreground, which allows a diverse and especially gap-free, that is, fully encircling or optically continuous circumferential appearance mediating attachment and arrangement of such films on crates.
- This object is achieved by the features contained in the characterizing part of claim 1, wherein expedient embodiments of the invention are achieved by the features contained in the characterizing part of the dependent claims. This applies not only to the procedure according to the invention but also to the device according to the invention for the application of such IML labels.
- the invention thus relates to a method and a device for applying IML labels to boxes, in particular bottle crates, in which a label arrangement in a tool for the injection molding of the plastic box is carried out by a device.
- a tool is used having a plurality of tool jaws which image the outer circumference of the box and which are moved from the open position of the tool, in which the tool jaws have moved outwards, into the closed interior of the tool housing.
- the plastic for the box production is injected. This plastic is melt-liquid during injection and thus intimately connects with the IML foil held in the tool.
- a single IML label is used for application to the exterior of the box, which encloses the entire box perimeter as a label.
- the IML label is applied so to speak circumferentially on the tool jaws in the form of a hose.
- the application is expediently carried out by an insert gripper, which receives a molded from a label strip or label blank tube and this transferred into the tool, so that the tube-like IML label is applied to the transferred in the closed position tool, so that then injected the plastic for box production can be.
- the hose receiving contour of the insert gripper for the transfer of the hose to the tool to the outer contour of the box is adaptable, which can conveniently be done by an at least area wise, preferably circumferential widening of the hose receiving insert gripper, where expediently the expanded contour of the insertion gripper corresponds to the outer contour in the arrangement region of the IML label on the box, so that when closing the injection mold, the tool jaws on the IML Foil lie. If you then bring, which is advantageous, vacuum on the tool jaws, then so to speak, the circumferentially closed ring or hose-like label is transferred to the tool and held there for the injection process.
- the transfer can advantageously also be done using static charge or the like.
- An expedient feature of the invention is that the IML label is formed as a continuous label corresponding at least to the circumference of the box, so that the label after application to the arrangement region of the injection-molded box can seamlessly enclose this outer contour on the box, i. as a one-label solution.
- the hose-like contoured IML label is an IML film that can be single-layered or multi-layered, expediently provided with a protective layer, and can be provided with advertising media, such as by printing and the like.
- These films are suitably made of plastic and known as such in the bottle crate sector, so that a more detailed description is unnecessary.
- the label tube or the label ring corresponds to the outer contour of the box in the circumferential direction, because preferably boxes with flat Thiswandfiamba, in particular with four side walls are commonly used.
- the arrangement region of the label is slightly set back relative to the corresponding outer surface of the side wall, which is expedient for scratch protection reasons.
- the transfer of the IML tube to the tool by vacuum suction for which appropriate vacuum openings in the tool jaws, mold jaws and / or label plates and / or insertion grippers can be provided.
- the holder of the hose-like label on the tool by adhesive bonding by approaching the tool jaws to the tubular film of example expanded for imaging the outer contour of the box insert gripper, wherein the tube while held on tension due to the expansion, but nevertheless rests loosely on Einlegegreifer , so that when returning the widening of the insertion gripper for the exception of the box, the tubular film then remains statically adhering to the tool jaw.
- the length of the IML label for tube formation at least corresponds to the length of the box circumference.
- This is expediently an exact length measurement of the IML label to the corresponding outer contour of the box to be produced, yes is determined by the driven into the closed position tool jaws and the like ..
- a gap-free label training is guaranteed over the circumference, as the ends of the tube abut flush with exact dimensioning on the circumference of the outer contour, expediently the joint of advantageously flush adjoining label ends inside and / or outside of the hose by a respective joint between bridging the two label ends covering connecting strip is bridged.
- This is expediently formed from the same film material as the label film.
- the composite is expediently carried out by welding or gluing.
- the gap is thus no longer visually apparent.
- the flush abutting portion of the hose can be placed at a position over the circumference of the outer contour, where due to printing or the like, the gap is no longer noticeable optically outward or recognizable.
- the IML label is cut to a length which corresponds to the circumference of the outer contour, preferably in the arrangement region of the label plus some projection which is dimensioned for practical reasons, but preferably in the range between 2 to 15 mm, particularly preferably 2 to 10 mm, in particular up to 8 mm.
- the overlap area serves the composite of the two ends of the label blank to form the circumferential tube, which is conveniently carried out by welding or bonding.
- This sizing of the IML label has the advantage that ultimately no gap remains between the label ends.
- a combination of the two label ends or hose ends may expediently take place, with a fixed, non-detachable connection being preferred.
- the composite can in this case take place via an adhesive which is already provided in advance in certain length grids on the endless label, so that then with exact cut this adhesive is always present in the overlapping region of the two hose ends and then activated when inserting conveniently via the preferably robot-like insert gripper to make the composite.
- the adhesive may be applied directly to the blanking station on the label blank and thus the ends of the tube connected. But it is expedient in particular a composite by welding the hose ends of the IML film together.
- the cutting of the IML-label for the tube formation takes place from a roll of a wound-up "endless" IML film, whereby the cutting expediently takes place independently of the label positioning in the tool, preferably adjacent to the As a result, a certain amount of storage is saved, since the IML label can be separated from an endless roll directly, preferably near the injection molding tool, and then immediately transferred to the positioning gripper via the insert gripper.
- the IML film is provided for the purpose of length recognition of the label blank with preferably optically readable markers, in particular provided with punch markers, in particular printed.
- optically readable markers in particular provided with punch markers, in particular printed.
- the hose formation of the cut IML label is expediently carried out at the cutting station.
- the tube can preferably be stored intermittently in a magazine in tube form and then removed there by the preferably robotic insertion gripper.
- one and the same gripper can be used for the insertion and removal of the hose.
- a receiving table which receives the label film unwound from the IML roll and also contains the cutting device in order to carry out the cut which is suitable for the outer circumference and the arrangement in the arrangement region of the box. It is expedient to arrange a device for the length detection and / or length measurement on the receiving table. Conveniently, the receiving table is close, in particular arranged next to the injection mold.
- the cut to length of the IML-roll label blank is added either by applying vacuum on the insert gripper or static charge from the insertion gripper.
- the gripper is rotatably mounted and, so to speak by rotation on the on the receiving table lying label blank rolls and thus receives the label blank contour right circumferential over the gripper.
- the composite of the ends of the label blank can be made to the hose at this point already.
- the insert gripper can deposit the tube in a magazine or transfer it directly into the open injection mold.
- a welding and / or gluing station is expediently also provided on the receiving table in order to connect the ends of the label blank accommodated by the gripper with one another to the circulating hose or ring.
- the insert gripper for removing the injection-molded box from the tool in a contour can be transferred, which allows a release of the insertion gripper, which is advantageously designed in the manner of a robot from the label tube and thus the retraction or removal of the box from the injection mold.
- the insert gripper for the final contouring of the IML tube is expandable, which is mechanically possible in many ways.
- the insertion gripper can be subdivided into different segments or jaws which can be moved laterally and / or outwardly for the purpose of clamping the tube and / or inwardly for removal of the crate, so that preferably a reduced "removal cross-section" of the gripper results.
- the expansion takes place via a circulating hose on Einlegegreifer, by the compressed air injection or gas injection either the label directly or with the interposition of outside of the hose on the gripper or hose provided label guiding elements to the inwardly driven
- four diagonally inwardly and outwardly movable corner jaws are provided on the gripper, which image the corner region of the Labelanssens Schemes and 2.4 insomniaOigerweise have a circumferentially arranged strap and reduce in cross section size or size for gripper exception can be reduced from the tool.
- a device in which an IML label blank is produced. Its length is appropriate at least the length of the outer circumference of the box, preferably in the arrangement area of the IML label on the box.
- a label positioning station is expediently provided, which is provided with an insertion gripper, in particular in the form of a robot, for receiving the label tube and its transfer into the open tool.
- the cutting station is formed or provided with a centering station, so that the label blank cut to the appropriate length can be brought into a tube shape adapted to the circumference of the box.
- the centering station can be provided with a magazine for receiving the respectively formed to a circumferential tube IML labels. This is advantageously arranged in the vicinity, in particular adjacent to the label positioning station. As a result, the hose can be easily and quickly removed from the magazine by the insertion gripper and, with a movement, it can be introduced into the tool in the correct position, so to speak.
- the device has a length measuring system for checking the exact lengthening of the IML label for the tube formation, wherein advantageously the IML label can be unwound from a roll for the blank.
- the IML film can be arranged on a support so that during the up and the unwinding the IML film can not be damaged.
- the device has a preferably optically operating length recognition system.
- the device has docking elements, such as bead-like projections, knobs and the like, in order to bring about an exact tube positioning.
- the docking elements can in this case be provided on the insertion gripper and / or on the tool jaws.
- the design of the docking elements is arbitrary, as far as they are suitable, so that recesses may be eligible, especially if docking elements are provided complementary to both the tool jaws as well as the insertion gripper.
- the insert gripper is expediently provided with movable design elements, in particular in the form of gripper jaws, which in the extended position reproduce the outer contour of the box in the arrangement region of the label and in the retracted position due to a reduced position. th cross section or a reduction of the circumference allow removal of the insert gripper from the mold for the injection molding.
- the gripper is provided with four in particular diagonally movable corner jaws. These can cooperate, for example, with a circumferential clamping band for the contouring, which can stretch the label tube and apply it to the tool.
- grippers would also be possible which are provided with inflatable tubular elements or approximately with a circulating inflatable tube, so that a desired widening of the insertion gripper with the accommodated tubular foil in adaptation to the desired outer contour can be effected in a simple manner. This also allows a simple reduction of the cross section of the insertion gripper to remove it before the injection process after the transfer of the tubular film to the tool jaws from the injection mold.
- each tool jaw has a mold jaw and a label plate for receiving or applying the label tube in the closed position.
- the label plates form in the closed position, the outer contour of the arrangement area for the hose label.
- the label plates are in this case movable relative to the mold jaws.

- FIG. 13 shows a preferred but in no way limiting embodiment of a receptacle of the label blank for forming a tube 4 by the gripper 8, which is rotatable and rolls on the label blank 10 to receive the label blank, so that the tube 4 is formed on the gripper ,
- the cutting device 16 On the take-up table 14 in FIG. 13, the cutting device 16 is on the left again and the length measuring system is on the right.
- the unrolling of the gripper for contour-matched recording of the label tube 4 is indicated by dashed representation of the gripper 8.
- FIG. 14 also shows a connecting station which is expediently arranged on the receiving table 14, which is not limiting, and which is shown only as a block diagram.
- This composite station 17 may be suitably designed as a welding station or as an adhesive station. This serves to connect the label blank in the overlapping area in the embodiment according to FIG. 10 or via a connecting strip in the joint area of the two ends of the label blank.
- a length measuring system 17 is integrated in particular at the blanking station, so that each ensures the correct blank 10 in terms of length becomes.
- This is essential for an exact hose formation.
- the tube 4 which is suitably brought via a centering station not shown here, in particular in the form of an expandable gripper 8 in tube formation, ie to an open tube, stored in a magazine, from which then the tube via the gripper 8 recorded and transferred to the tool.
- the gripper 8 takes up the tube and, if necessary, prepares it for the outer contour in the predetermined arrangement region of the IML label on the injection-molding box.
- the label 3 can be applied to a carrier element 20, for example by adhesion or a light adhesive bond, so that the wound carrier or foil tape 20 which is fed to the blanking station, the label 3 protects against scratching and the like.
- the cutting station which is not shown here in the drawing for the sake of simplicity, the supplied IML film is removed or removed from the support element 20 and cut to length, it being possible to use a suitable length measuring device 17 for the purpose of control.
- the tube formation of the cut-to-size IML label 3 expediently takes place, whereby there are two particularly advantageous possibilities.
- the blank can be matched exactly to the length of the corresponding outer contour of the box with the result that then the hose ends on the insert gripper and ultimately in the tool abutment shock and thus flush and by a shock-covering connection strip of hose assembly in the manner described he follows.
- a visible gap formation is also possibly avoided in the corner regions of the box.
- the blank is made with a certain excess length, so that the hose ends can overlap, as is apparent from Fig. 10, where the hose 4 is shown with an overlap region 10 ".
- a length measuring system for checking the exact length of the blank it is also possible to provide a system for optical length recognition, which can be expediently coupled to the length measuring system or integrated therein.
