Definitions
- the present invention relates to an installation for processing parts supplied continuously on a support (strip, sheath), such as labels or sleeves for covering containers, to perform an operation on each part, requiring precise identification of each part. fitted with a bar code, installation comprising a feed device reeling off the support, and a processing device controlled to carry out the operation on the parts.
- the invention relates in particular, but not exclusively, to an installation for cutting parts supplied continuously and printed continuously on a strip or sheath such as labels or sleeves for covering receptacles, in particular bottles, printed surfaces. each having a printed bar code type indication for separating the pieces one by one with respect to the unwound strip.
- the present invention aims to develop an installation for performing operations on parts, requiring precise identification of each part with respect to the processing device or in particular for separating parts such as labels or sleeves printed continuously on a support such as a sheath or a strip, for carrying out a simple and precise separation of the parts with a view to their application on the part for which they are intended.
- the present invention relates to an installation of the type defined above, characterized by: A) a reader
- the installation allows to perform operations on a precisely marked room without Réali ⁇ ser particular brands but using an existing item that is to say, the already printed barcode on the piece and occupying a precise and known position in relation to the part.
- This bar code positioned precisely with respect to each part thus makes it possible to carry out the operation such as cutting a part in particular of the sleeve at a precise location of the support or of the sheath, which simplifies the manufacture of the support which n 'will no longer have to be perforated along the junction line of two pieces.
- the detection of the possible deviation between the theoretical length and the actual length of the piece, in particular ⁇ label or sleeve, is particularly important for plastic substrates such as those generally used for the sheaths because this material ris ⁇ that sometimes to slide randomly in relation to the unwinding cylinders; depending on the magnitude of the error in ⁇ be the theoretical length and the actual length of the part, it would risk being badly cut and these defects not necessarily compensating for one part to another but risking add up, we arrive by cumulation, very quickly to very significant defects in separation of the parts, making them unusable.
- the installation according to the invention which corrects each length defect for each part, prevents the accumulation of faults.
- the length error on a part is not significant or at least not really noticeable, the fact that the correction is made with an offset of a part is not of practical importance.
- the operation such as the cut is offset with respect to the detection of the printed indication or reading imprint. This offset corresponds to an integer number of part lengths. These are generally a few pieces and between the measurement point and the cutting point, there can be no significant change in the length and, consequently, in the position of the cutting line.
- the solution according to the invention of reading the bar code is particularly advantageous since bar code readers make it very easy to detect this code and, above all, they serve to detect the precise position of the bar code.
- the means for measuring the unwound length is the incremental sensor associated with an indexed wheel integral with one of the unwinding rollers of the unwinding device.
- the machine comprises a cutting device downstream of the bar code reader offset from the latter by an integer of Ion- room feeders and controlled offset by the control device.
- An installation according to the present invention can advantageously be applied to processing or working lines receiving parts in a continuous strip, on which it is necessary to carry out operations and in particular to separate the parts precisely as is the case for a machine. fitting sleeves on bottles; this installation is combined to work in synchronism, for example, with the sleeve fitting turret.
- Figure 2 is a detail view of Figure 1.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of an installation for unwinding sleeves.
- the invention relates generally to an installation for processing parts P supplied continuously on a support G. These parts each provided with a bar code are, for example, labels or sleeves for covering of containers and the installation must perform a certain operation on each part. This operation requires the precise location of each part.
- the installation comprises a reeling device 100 constituted for example by one or two cylinders driven one or both by a motor 101 which scrolls the support G in the direction of the arrow D.
- a reeling device 100 constituted for example by one or two cylinders driven one or both by a motor 101 which scrolls the support G in the direction of the arrow D.
- a single piece P with its bar code CB is shown on the sheath G for the purposes of this description. In fact, the parts succeed each other almost continuously on the support G.
- the installation Downstream of the unwinding device 100, the installation comprises a reader 102 straddling the zone Z of the support G in which the bar code CB must be located. This zone Z is defined and known. Downstream of the reader 102, the installation comprises a downstream reeling device or drive 103 consti ⁇ also killed by one or two cylinders of which at least one is driven by a motor 104. Finally, downstream of the device 103 'installation comprises a processing device 105 which performs the operation. This device 105 may for example be a printing or cutting tool which must perform an operation at a precise location on the part. This precise location is defined from the start in relation to the location of the CB barcode.
- the installation also includes a control circuit 106 which receives the read signal SL from the reader 102 and position or drive signals SPl supplied diagrammatically by the motor 101 and SP2 diagrammatically supplied by the motor 104.
- These signals SPl , SP2 can be signals from readers associated with a sound disc carried by the output axis of the motors 101, 104 in order to pinpoint the angular position of the axis of the motors in a precise manner and thus give directly or indirectly a signal corresponding to the support position G or at the unwound length.
- the control circuit 106 is also connected to an information source 107 which contains the information relating to the bar codes.
- This information is position information, dimensions and more generally characteristics of bar codes. Depending on the information to be coded, the bar codes vary in size (length and width) and number of segments. All this information is used to know the theoretical position of the bar code on the support G, for example inside the zone Z.
- the information of the information source 107 is supplied by an external source 108 such as a reader CD-ROM or a learning model reader 109 which is also a learning system or a code library (code file), from which a sample of bar code CB of the support G to be processed is read.
- This model reader 109 determines the characteristics of the bar code to be read in order to recognize this bar code contained in the read signals supplied to the circuit. control 106, by comparison between the read signals SL and the comparison signals SD supplied by the information source 107 to the control circuit 106.
- control circuit 106 As a function of the various signals received, the control circuit 106 generally sends a control signal SC intended for the processing device 105 so that the latter performs the operation.
- the reader 102 is a bar code reader which contains the information source 107.
- the reader 102 can also be a camera which is educated using the reader of models 109 and the processing of signals supplied by this reader to the information source 107 then comparison and processing of the signals in the circuit 106.
- FIG. 2 schematically shows the detection of the edge CBA, in the direction of travel D of the bar code CB, seen on a scale enlarged. The detection presented is that of the front edge (in the direction of scrolling), but this solution is only an example because it is also possible to detect the rear edge.
- the installation comprises an input unwinding device 1 consisting of two cylinders 11, 12 between which the sheath G to be unwound passes. At least one of the cylinders 11, 12 is driven by a motor and the other is applied elastically against the first to pinch the sheath G and drive it in the direction of the arrow D.
- the installation Downstream of the input unwinding device 1, the installation includes a reading device 2 for reading the bar code CB printed on the sheath G. Finally, downstream of the reading device 2, a downstream unwinding device 3 comprising cylinders 31, 32, pulls the sheath G and a cutting device 4 formed by a knife 41 and a counter knife 42 cuts it.
- the various devices 1, 2, 3, 4 are connected to a control circuit 5 which receives the detection signals corresponding to the measurement of the length of the sheath which has been unwound, to the detection of the mark constituted by the printed imprint CB; it controls the drive of the sheath by the upstream unwinding device 1, and by the downstream unwinding device 3 in particular for adjusting the tension between the two unwinding devices, as well as the cutting device 4.
- the devices 1, 3, receive control signals SG from circuit 5.
- the sheath G constituting the workpiece support (here sleeves), reveals a length of sleeve L between the lower edge L1 and the upper edge L2 delimiting a sleeve. Between the two limits L1, L2, this sheath includes a bar code CB positioned precisely with respect to the lower edge and to the upper edge L1, L2 of the sleeve M.
- a sleeve M1 appears which is about to be separated from the upper edge L1 of the sleeve M still forming part of the sheath G, by the cutting device 4 and finally a sleeve M2 already separate.
- the sheath G is driven by the two rollers 31, 32 of the unwinding device 3.
- One of the rollers for example the roller 32, carries in rotation an indexed wheel 13. This wheel 13 is sensed by a detector 14 providing an incremental signal SI to the control circuit 5.
- the sheath G does not slip with respect to the rollers 31, 32.
- the measuring device constituted by the indexed wheel 13 and the sensor 14, supplies the incremental signals SI from a initial instant fixed by the control circuit 5 corresponding to the end of the measurement of the unwinding of the preceding sleeve; this measurement will be corrected under the conditions explained below.
- the incremental signals SI are counted by incrementing a counter from an initial value, generally zero, to a final value corresponding to the end of the unwinding of a sleeve.
- the initial instant of the beginning of the count corresponds theoretically to the start of a sleeve and the counting continues until the end of the reeling necessary of the sheath to have the length L of sleeve to be cut.
- the end of the unwinding corresponds to the time at which the bar code reader 2 detects the front edge CBA of the bar code CB.
- this measurement of the unwound length may be equal to, less than or greater than the actual length of the sleeve.
- the installation includes a barcode reader CB.
- This reader 2 here detects the front edge CBA of the bar code and sends a detection signal SD to the control device 5; the latter notes at this time that the appropriate length of sheath has been unwound to allow the sleeve to be cut.
- the front edge CBA of the bar code CB is the lower edge according to FIG. 3.
- the reading of the bar code CB by the reader 2 is done at a relatively slow sheath speed G, controlled by the circuit 5 as soon as the measuring device 13, 14 has supplied signals SI which, cumulatively, correspond substantially to the length of sleeve to be unwound.
- the measurement system 13, 14 starts at a zero point.
- the system takes account of the error in the length of the sheath unwound for the previous sleeve under the conditions which will be described later.
- the unwinding devices 1, 11, 12, 31, 32 unwind a length of sleeve corresponding to the actual length of the sleeve. But this length is unwound as a function of the measurement of the unwinding (SI), that is to say of the rotation of the rollers 31, 32 measured by the detector 13, 14.
- SI measurement of the unwinding
- the reader 2 When the reader 2 meets the lower front CBA (or upstream front) of the bar code CB, it transmits the corresponding signal SD to the control device 5 which then notes that the correct length of the label or of the sleeve has been unwound .
- the sleeve M downstream or at the level of the reader 2 is thus in a correct position at the operating precision of the installation or precision necessary for correct cutting of the sleeve.
- the control circuit 5 can then control the cutting device represented schematically by the movable knife 41 and the counter knife 42 to cut a sleeve Ml downstream.
- the measurement is made on the sleeve M while the preceding sleeve Ml is cut at the end of the unwinding.
- the rollers 31, 32 of the reeling device 3 downstream of the reader 2 also serve to hold the sheath G in the passage of the bar code reader 2.
- the invention is not limited to the cutting operation but relates to all the operations to be carried out on an unseparated part, belonging to a continuous assembly in the form of a strip or a tube and requiring precise location of the position of each part. to perform an operation on it without having to first carry out a particular reference on the parts but on the contrary by using an element existing on the part, positioned precisely with respect to the part but whose function is not that of a benchmark.
