Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Etikettiermaschine insbesondere für Gefäße und dergleichen, bestehend aus einem Maschinengestell mit einem Antrieb für einen mit Standtellern für die zu etikettierenden Gegenstände bestückten Drehtisch sowie mit dem Maschinengestell verbundenen Behandlungsstationen wie z.B. Etikettierstationen.The invention relates to a labeling machine, in particular for vessels and the like, consisting of a machine frame with a drive for one with Stand plates for the items to be labeled equipped turntable and with the machine frame associated treatment stations such. Labeling.
Bei der Verpackung von Waren aller Art, wie z.B. Getränken oder Lebensmitteln hat es sich als sehr vorteilhaft erwiesen, die Behälter, in denen diese Waren angeboten werden, so vorteilhaft und ansprechend wie möglich zu gestalten. Neben der körperlichen Gestalt der Behälter spielt dabei auch eine zunehmend aufwändiger werdende Etikettierung der Behälter eine immer größere Rolle.In the packaging of goods of all kinds, e.g. Drinks or food It proved to be very beneficial to the containers in which these goods are offered be as beneficial and appealing as possible. In addition to the physical The shape of the container also plays an increasingly costly Labeling of the container is becoming increasingly important.
Werden nun auf einer Etikettiermaschine, was in der Praxis fast immer der Fall ist, mehrere verschiedene Behältertypen etikettiert, bzw. mehrere unterschiedliche Etikettengarnituren verarbeitet, entstehen durch die erforderlichen Umrüstarbeiten Stillstandszeiten in nicht unerheblichem Umfang. Dieses ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn die Behälter mit mehreren Etiketten an Vorder- und Rückseite versehen werden sollen.Now on a labeling machine, which is almost always the case in practice, several different container types labeled, or several different label sets processed, caused by the necessary retooling downtime to a not inconsiderable extent. This is especially the case if the containers are provided with several labels on the front and back should.
Zur Lösung dieses Problems wurden u.a. in der DE 199 53 255, der US 4,362,594 und in der DE 197 41 476 Konstruktionen vorgestellt, welche es gestatten die an einer Etikettiermaschine angeordneten Etikettierstationen als ganzes auszutauschen, wodurch die Stillstandszeiten deutlich reduziert werden können, da die an einer Etikettierstation erforderlichen Umstellarbeiten an einem gesonderten Arbeitsplatz und somit im wesentlichen hauptzeitparallel d.h. ohne Stillstand der Etikettiermaschine durchgeführt werden können.To solve this problem, i.a. in DE 199 53 255, US 4,362,594 and in DE 197 41 476 constructions presented, which allow the on a Labeling machine arranged as a whole, whereby the downtime can be significantly reduced, since the at a labeling station necessary conversion work at a separate workplace and thus, essentially in parallel with the main time, i. without stopping the labeling machine can be performed.
Obwohl durch die oben genannten Konstruktionen im Bereich Etikettiertechnik schon ein bedeutender Fortschritt erzielt werden konnte, gelingt es auch durch die o.g. Konstruktionen noch nicht zufriedenstellend, Etikettiermaschinen schnell und kostengünstig an stark von einander abweichende Etikettieraufgaben anzupassen.Although by the above-mentioned designs in the field of labeling technology already a significant progress could be achieved, it also succeeds by the o.g. Constructions still unsatisfactory, labeling machines fast and cost-effective to adapt to greatly differing labeling tasks.
So stellt sich in der Praxis häufig die Aufgabe, z.B. Behältern mit einem eingeprägten Logo oder Bügelverschlussflaschen vor der Etikettierung exakt auszurichten. Dabei ist es Stand der Technik, dass Funktionsbaugruppen, welche diese Aufgaben erfüllen können, fest und dauerhaft an den Etikettiermaschinen angeordnet werden, wodurch sich die Anzahl der möglichen Etikettierstationen dauerhaft verringert, so dass auch bei der Verarbeitung von Behältern welche nicht ausgerichtet werden müssen, auf diese Etikettierstationen verzichtet werden muss.Thus, in practice the task often arises, e.g. Containers with an embossed Align logo or swing top bottles exactly before labeling. there It is state of the art that functional assemblies that perform these tasks can, be fixed and permanently arranged on the labeling, whereby the number of possible labeling stations permanently reduced, so that even when processing containers that do not need to be aligned, must be waived on these labeling stations.
Ähnlich verhält es sich mit Funktionsbaugruppen, welche z.B. das Vorhandensein oder den richtigen Sitz von Etiketten kontrollieren. Auch diese Funktionsbaugruppen sind entsprechend dem Stand der Technik fest und dauerhaft an den Etikettiermaschinen angeordnet, so dass die oben beschriebenen Nachteile auch hier gelten.It is similar with functional assemblies which are e.g. the presence or check the correct fit of labels. Also these functional modules are according to the prior art firmly and permanently on the labeling arranged so that the disadvantages described above also apply here.
Aufgabe und Ziel der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, hier Abhilfe und Verbesserung zu schaffen, so dass erfindungsgemäße Etikettiermaschinen schnell und kostengünstig an wechselnde Etikettieraufgaben angepasst werden können. Dazu sieht die vorliegende Erfindung vor, dass Funktionsbaugruppen wie z.B. Ausrichtung, Kontrolle oder Bedrucken von Behältern als auswechselbare Module ausgeführt werden, welche über eine Standardschnittstelle verfügen, und somit -je nach Etikettieraufgabe- schnell und einfach an verschiedenen Positionen einer Etikettiermaschine montiert werden können. Dabei können die oben genannten Module auch alternativ zu den eigentlichen Etikettierstationen montiert werden.Object and purpose of the present invention is to remedy and improve to create, so that labeling machines according to the invention quickly and inexpensively can be adapted to changing labeling tasks. This sees the present invention that functional assemblies such. Alignment, control or printing containers as replaceable modules, which have a standard interface, and thus, depending on the labeling task, quickly and easily mounted on different positions of a labeller can be. The modules mentioned above can also be used as an alternative to the actual labeling stations are mounted.

At the same time the content of the claims has become part of the description.
Um Etikettiermaschinen schneller und flexibler an wechselnde Etikettieraufgaben anpassen zu können, sieht die vorliegende Erfindung vor, dass die erforderlichen mechanischen und/oder elektronischen Bauteile zu Funktionsgruppen oder Modulen zusammengefasst sind, welche über eine Standardschnittstelle an verschiedenen Positionen einer Etikettiermaschine montierbar sind.To make labeling machines faster and more flexible to changing labeling tasks to be able to adapt, the present invention provides that the required mechanical and / or electronic components to functional groups or modules which are connected via a standard interface to different Positions of a labeling machine can be mounted.
Zunächst wird ein Modul "Ausrichtung" beschrieben.First, an "alignment" module will be described.
Für den Fall, dass Behälter vor dem Etikettieren ausgerichtet werden sollen, bietet es sich an, Etikettiermaschinen zu verwenden, bei denen die Standteller jeweils durch einen eigenen Servo- oder Schrittmotor drehangetrieben werden. Dieses ist bei modernen Etikettiermaschinen häufig der Fall, da durch Servo- oder Schrittmotoren drehangetriebene Standteller allein schon für die Realisierung der zur Etikettierung der Behälter erforderlichen Drehbewegungen selbiger überaus vorteilhaft sind.In the event that containers are to be aligned before labeling, it offers to use labeling machines, where the stand by each its own servo or stepper motor to be rotated. This is at modern Labeling machines often the case, as rotationally driven by servo or stepper motors Stand plate alone already for the realization of the labeling of the Container required rotational movements selbiger are extremely advantageous.
Sind durch Servo- oder Schrittmotoren drehangetriebene Standteller vorhanden, so kann eine Ausrichtung der Behälter auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise realisiert werden, da alle wesentlichen Bauteile schon vorhanden sind.If rotationally driven stand plates are available through servo or stepper motors, then can realize an orientation of the container in a simple and cost-effective manner be, since all essential components are already present.
Für ein Ausricht-Modul sieht die vorliegende Erfindung vor, dass das Modul mindestens eine Kamera und eventuell auch Beleuchtungsvorrichtungen enthält. In einer weiteren, besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, zusätzlich einen Auswertungsrechner, welcher die von der mindestens einen Kamera erzeugte Bilder auswertet und die erforderlichen Drehlagenkorrekturen für die Standteller ermittelt und diese über die Maschinensteuerung der Etikettiermaschine an die Standteller weiterleitet, innerhalb des Moduls anzuordnen.For an alignment module, the present invention provides that the module at least a camera and possibly also lighting devices contains. In a further, particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention is provided In addition, an evaluation computer, which of the at least one Camera evaluates generated images and the required rotational position corrections determined for the stand plate and this via the machine control of the labeling machine to the stand plate, to arrange within the module.
In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der vorliegenden Erfindung ist vorgesehen, die erforderlichen Drehlagenkorrekturen direkt, also unter Umgehung der Maschinensteuerung an die Standteller zu übertragen. Diese Vorgehensweise vereinfacht die Programmlogik und die Ablaufsteuerung der Maschinensteuerung beträchtlich und verursacht nur geringe Kosten. Zur Realisierung dieser Funktion wird jedem Standteller mindestens ein Sensor zugeordnet. Dieser Sensor befindet sich in der Nähe des Standtellers am äußeren Umfang des Drehtisches. Innerhalb des Ausricht-Moduls wird mindestens eine Signalquelle angeordnet. Erkennt nun das Ausricht-Modul die Erfordernis einer Drehlagenkorrektur, so werden die erforderliche Informationen über Signalquelle und Sensor direkt an den Servo- oder Schrittmotor bzw. deren Ansteuerung des betroffenen Standtellers übertragen, so dass dieser die erforderlichen Drehbewegungen ausführen kann. Bei Signalquelle und Sensor kann es sich z.B. um eine Kombination aus Infrarot-Sender und Empfänger handeln, wobei durch erste Impuls die Drehrichtung und durch nachfolgende Impulse die Größe der auszuführenden Drehlagenkorrektur übertragen wird. In a further embodiment of the present invention is provided, the required Rotary position corrections directly, bypassing the machine control to transfer to the stand plate. This procedure simplifies the program logic and the flow control of the machine control considerably and caused only low costs. To realize this feature will be every stand plate at least one sensor assigned. This sensor is located near the Stand plate on the outer circumference of the turntable. Inside the alignment module at least one signal source is arranged. Now recognizes the alignment module the Requirement of a rotational position correction, so the required information about Signal source and sensor directly to the servo or stepper motor or their control transferred the affected stand plate, so that this required Can perform rotational movements. For example, the signal source and sensor may be around a combination of infrared transmitter and receiver act, whereby by first Pulse the direction of rotation and by subsequent pulses the size of the executed Rotary position correction is transmitted.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es dabei, wenn sich die Signalquelle über einen gewissen Teil des vom Sensor beschriebenen Kreisbogens erstreckt, da auf diese Weise die Rotation des Drehtisches ausgeglichen werden kann.It is particularly advantageous when the signal source over a certain Part of the arc described by the sensor extends in this way the rotation of the turntable can be compensated.
Ebenfalls ist vorgesehen, zwei oder mehr Ausricht-Module zu verwenden. Dieses kann insbesondere dann von Vorteil sein, wenn die Ausrichtung der Behälter besonders genau erfolgen soll und diese somit in eine Grob- und eine Fein-Ausrichtung unterteilt werden muss.It is also envisaged to use two or more alignment modules. This may be particularly advantageous if the orientation of the container especially should be accurate and thus in a coarse and a fine alignment must be divided.
In besonderen Anwendungsfällen kann auch die Verwendung von mechanisch, optisch, kapazitiv, induktiv oder nach einem anderen in der Technik bekannten Verfahren arbeitenden Sensoren zur Ermittlung der Ist-Ausrichtung eines Behälters vorteilhaft sein, wobei diese Sensoren bei derartigen Anwendungsfällen ebenfalls Bestandteil des austauschbaren Moduls sein sollen.In special cases, the use of mechanical, optical, capacitive, inductive, or any other method known in the art working sensors for determining the actual orientation of a container advantageous be, with these sensors in such applications also part of the exchangeable module.
Neben dem oben beschriebenen Modul "Ausrichtung" ist die Verwendung eines Moduls "Inspizieren" vorgesehen.In addition to the module "Alignment" described above is the use of a module "Inspect" provided.
Die Funktion des Moduls "Inspizieren" besteht beispielsweise in der Überprüfung des Etikettierergebnisses. Dabei kann es sich um eine Kontrolle handeln, welche lediglich überprüft, ob ein Etikett vorhanden ist, oder aber auch um eine erweiterte Kontrolle, welche (zusätzlich) die richtige Lage der Etiketten überprüft. Zur Realisierung dieser Funktion ist ebenfalls die Verwendung von mindestens einer Kamera und/oder von sonstigen Sensoren vorgesehen, wobei sich die Arbeitsweise der Sensoren auf alle in der Technik bekannten Methoden erstrecken kann.The function of the "Inspect" module is, for example, the verification of the Labeling results. This can be a control, which only Checks whether a label is present, or even an extended control, which (additionally) checks the correct position of the labels. To realize this Function is also the use of at least one camera and / or provided other sensors, wherein the operation of the sensors to all can extend in the art known methods.
Für eine besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildung des Inspektions-Moduls ist vorgesehen, dass ein Auswertungsrechner Bestandteil des Moduls ist.For a particularly advantageous development of the inspection module is provided that an evaluation computer is part of the module.
In einer weiteren Fortbildung des Inspektionsmoduls ist vorgesehen, dass die innerhalb des Inspektions-Moduls ermittelten Daten bezüglich der Position der Etiketten zu einer Korrektur der Etikettierung verwendet werden. Dabei kann es sich zum Beispiel um eine automatische Drehlagenkorrekturen der Standteller vor oder während der eigentlichen Etikettierung handeln, oder aber um einen automatischen Maschinenstopp wenn sich die Etiketten auf den Behältern außerhalb bestimmter Toleranzbereiche befinden.In a further training of the inspection module is provided that within of the inspection module, data concerning the position of the labels be used to correct the labeling. It can be, for example for automatic rotational position corrections of the stand plate before or during the actual labeling or an automatic machine stop if the labels on the containers are outside certain tolerance ranges are located.
Ebenfalls sind Ausgestaltungen des Inspektions-Moduls vorgesehen, welche einen fehlerhaft etikettierten Behälter von dem weiteren Produktionsprozess ausschließen. Also embodiments of the inspection module are provided which a to exclude incorrectly labeled containers from the further production process.
Neben der Verwendung der zahlreichen, in der Technik bislang bekannt gewordenen Lösungen für das Ausschleusen von Behältern welche ebenfalls eingesetzt werden können, ist vorgesehen, das Inspektionsmodul selbst mit einer Ausschleusvorrichtung zu versehen. Dabei kann es sich zum Beispiel um einen, auf dem Inspektions-Modul angeordneten vakuumbetriebenen Ausschleusstern handeln, welcher stellenweise einen Teil der Flaschenführung ersetzt und fehlerhafte Behälter übernimmt und ausschleust.In addition to the use of numerous, hitherto known in the art Solutions for the discharge of containers which are also used can, is provided, the inspection module itself with a discharge device to provide. This can be, for example, one, on the inspection module arranged vacuum-powered Ausschleusstern act, which in places replaced part of the bottle guide and takes over faulty containers and ausschleust.
Zusätzlich zu den oben beschriebenen Modulen schlägt die vorliegende Erfindung ebenfalls ein Druck-Modul vor. Dieses Druck-Modul kann Komponenten beinhalten, welche alle in der Technik bekannten Druckverfahren ermöglichen. Diese Druckverfahren können z.B. Laserdruck/Lasermarkierung, Tintenstrahl, Tampondruck oder Siebdruck sein. Verwendung kann dieses Druck-Modul z.B. bei der Beschriftung der Behälter mit einem Mindesthaltbarkeitsdatum oder bei dem direkten Bedrucken von Behältern oder Etiketten finden.In addition to the modules described above, the present invention proposes also a pressure module before. This pressure module can contain components which enable all printing techniques known in the art. This printing process can e.g. Laser printing / laser marking, inkjet, pad printing or Screen printing. Use this pressure module, e.g. at the inscription of the Containers with a best before date or direct printing of Find containers or labels.
Bezüglich der Standardschnittstelle sieht die vorliegende Erfindung vor, dass neben einer mechanischen Verbindung zur spielfreien und genau positionierten Befestigung der Module an der Etikettiermaschine auch elektrische Schnittstellen zur Übertragung von Antriebsenergie und von Steuersignalen vorgesehen sind. Konstruktionen zur spielfreien und genau positionierten Befestigung und auch Schnittstellen zur Übertragung von Antriebsenergie sind in der Technik allgemein bekannt, so dass an dieser Stelle auf eine nähere Beschreibung verzichtet werden kann.With regard to the standard interface, the present invention provides that besides a mechanical connection for backlash-free and precisely positioned attachment the modules on the labeling and electrical interfaces for transmission of drive power and control signals are provided. Constructions for clearance-free and precisely positioned attachment and also interfaces for transmission of driving energy are well known in the art, so that at this Place on a more detailed description can be waived.
