  • FIG. 1 is a process flow chart explaining a method for manufacturing a promotional tab end of a can according to the present invention.
  • a pitch hole is formed at the tab coil (step 1 : ST 1 ).
  • the tab coil is stacked on the printing uncoiler and is passed through a printing line, and the tab coil is aligned to be in a printing line by connecting to a printing recoiler (step 2 : ST 2 ).
  • a printing is performed on the upper surface of the coil (step 3 : ST 3 ).
  • the tab coil is transferred by driving the pitch roll (step 4 : ST 4 ).
  • the ink printed on the transferred tab coil is UV-dried (step 5 : ST 5 ).
  • the pitch hole sensor detects the pitch hole of the tab coil which is being transferred (step 6 : ST 6 ).
  • the encoder measures in real time the transfer speed of the tab coil which is being transferred (step 7 : ST 7 ).
  • An output signal is outputted by way of the pitch hole sensor (step 6 ), and the release time of the marking nozzle of the back surface of the coil is set depending on the measurement of the coil transfer speed of the coil of the encoder (step 7 : ST 7 ), and the marking on the back surface of the coil is performed (step 8 : ST 8 ).
  • the number of the pitch holes for the sake of transfers when driving the pitch roll is set in the pitch hole counter, and the pitch hole counter counts the number of the pitch holes of the tab coil, which is being transferred, by way of the pitch hole sensor (step 9 : ST 9 ).
  • step 10 ST 10 .
  • step 11 As the pitch roll stops, the tab coil stops as well, and an upper surface printing signal is outputted (step 11 : ST 11 ).
  • step 12 ST 12 .
  • the tab coil is transferred, and the uncoiler driving volume apparatus moves from the bottom dead point to the top dead point (step 13 : ST 13 ).
  • the uncoiler When the uncoiler driving volume apparatus moves out of the bottom dead point, the uncoiler increases or decreases the speed depending on the changes in the output signal of the driving volume apparatus, thus unwinding the tab coil (step 14 : ST 14 ).
  • step 15 ST 15 .
  • the steps 13 and 15 are concurrently performed in sync with the driving of the pitch roll.
  • the recoiler increases and decreases the speed depending on the changes in the output signal of the driving volume apparatus (step 16 : ST 16 ).
  • the steps 14 and 16 are concurrently performed in sync with the driving of the pitch roll.
  • the upper surface printing and coil back surface marking of the tab coil are completed, and the printing work-completed tab coil is inputted into the conversion press (step 17 : ST 17 ) for thereby finishing the production of the promotional tab.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view illustrating an apparatus for manufacturing the promotional tab end of the can according to the present invention.
  • the tab coil unwound from a hole forming uncoiler 10 passes through a tab coil looping unit 12 after the pitch holes are formed by means of a hole forming press 11 , and it is wound on a hole forming recoiler 10 - 1 via a washing apparatus 14 and a drier 15 .
  • the hole forming recoiler volume apparatus 13 operates in sync with the speed of the hole forming press 11 , so the tab coil can be wound with a constant tension by adjusting the driving speed of the hole forming recoiler 10 - 1 .
