Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for transporting a web through a plurality of stations of a working plant according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the material web is transported through a plurality of working stations, for example printing stations, milling stations for milling a recess into which a chip is to be embedded, punching stations and the like.
  • the web has a width exceeding that used for the cards, and the excess margins are provided series of holes, the series extending parallel to the transportation direction, and the holes being spaced from one another by accurately repeated distances.
  • pins engage into the holes so as to hold the web portion between the pins in a tensioned state.
  • the web is stepwisely transported from station to station by means of clamps which do not engage the holes but hold the web in a pinching operation.
  • the material consumption is higher than necessary because of the margins to be provided for the series of holes thereby increasing the costs of manufacture, in particular if expensive materials as e.g. poly carbonate are used.
  • the tensioning systems provided at each station for the web render the plant complex, susceptible to trouble, and the distance between stations must be larger than necessary for the very working.
  • US-A-4 810 006 discloses an adhesive coating to the secondary layer of the carrier material. Such an adhesive coating on the carrier material is a part of the carrier material.
  • the apparatus of the present invention is defined in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the width of the web from which cards are to be produced need not exceed that necessary for the cards themselves as the lateral perforated margin is provided on the tape.
  • the tape may be tensioned over all stations by one single tensioning means so that the stations need not have such means.
  • the tape may be made of a material which resists the working environment. Steel is preferred but plastic, e.g. polyester, may be suited as well. Perforation of a steel tape may be performed with extreme precision before the tape is closed to form the loop by, e.g. plasma welding.
  • the displacement means preferably comprises drums having circumferentially disposed sprockets in engagement with the carrier tape holes.
  • the carrier tape preferably is looped around a first driving drum and a second driven drum, and the distance spacing the drum axes defines the tension of the tape.
  • the axis of the driving drum is stationary while the axis of the driven drum is displaceable so that the distance between the axes may be varied in order to adjust the tape tension.
  • tension adjustment may be advisable in response to temperature variations.
  • various other reasons may cause variation of the tape tension so that it is preferred to control the tension in response to the measured distance between adjacent holes.
  • stepping motors drive the sprocket drum in order to displace the carrier tape by a predetermined stroke.
  • the engagement between the sprockets and the holes provides for an unambigous relation between the number of pulses supplied to the stepping motor and the stroke through which the carrier tape is displaced.
  • the "web” may consist of a series of cards already stamped from a substrate or laminate.
  • the invention is applicable to webs of plastic as well as webs made of cardboard.
  • the working stations 10, 12, 14, 16 are only schematically indicated. They may be four printing stations, one for each of the colors red, blue, yellow and one for black.
  • the substrate web 18 to be printed on passes over a guiding drum 20 towards carrier tape 22 which surrounds a driving drum 24 and a driven drum 26.
  • the drums rotate in accordance with arrow 28, driven by a stepping motor (not shown).
  • Driven drum 26 is displaceable in direction of arrow 30 in response to ambien temperature variations.
  • a strip 32 of plastic is coated on both of its faces with an adhesive or bonding material.
  • the strip is wound on bobbin 34 and fed between web 18 and carrier tape 22. Downstream of station 10, the strip is released from both carrier tape 22 and web 18 and is discarded.
  • a plurality of narrow ribbons may be used.
  • Fig. 2 is a partial section view of the driven drum 26 having sprockets 36 in engagement with holes 38 of tape 22.
  • the web 18 is held on carrier tape 22 by small upstanding stampings 39 cut from tape 22 and angled upwards.
