Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for intermittently inserting web sections of a second material web into a first material web.
  • labels are primarily used to convey price and / or product information to the customers in a department store about the goods to which they are attached.
  • labels are increasingly fulfilling another function: they are used for electronic article surveillance.
  • one of the laminated layers of the label tape consists of a soft magnetic material of high permeability and low coercive force.
  • a layer ->"Thin Film Labels
  • a soft magnetic strip material ->" strip labels
  • a label prepared in this way is exposed to the alternating electromagnetic field of an electronic monitoring device, it is stimulated to emit a characteristic signal.
  • This signal is detected by a receiving device of the monitoring device and interpreted by evaluation electronics in such a way that an article passes the monitoring zone in an unauthorized manner.
  • the unauthorized passage is indicated to the operating personnel by means of an acoustic and / or visual alarm.
  • the electronic security tags can usually be deactivated.
  • sections of a semi-hard or hard magnetic material are provided, which after proper payment of the goods are driven into saturation by a correspondingly high energy supply.
  • the semi-hard or hard magnetic sections in the saturation subsequently prevent a reaction of the soft magnetic material in the alternating field emitted by the monitoring device.
  • the soft magnetic material and especially the semi-hard or hard magnetic material are expensive. Taking into account the high material costs, it is easy to understand why no continuous strip or closed surface is used as the deactivator material.
  • the labels are usually applied to the goods to be labeled using hand-held labeling devices.
  • the label roll carrying the label strip is inserted into the dispenser, there is a certain rejection of label material which is no longer available for the subsequent price labeling.
  • the materials for the manufacture of the labels in particular the security labels, consist of expensive materials, is aimed at reducing the rejects to zero as far as possible.
  • a section of inexpensive material that does not contain any securing elements is inserted into the laminated material web carrying the securing elements at certain intervals. The length of the inserted section corresponds to the reject that usually arises when a new label roll is inserted into a dispenser.
  • the invention is based on the object of proposing a device and a method which allow an automatic insertion of a web section of a second material web at predetermined intervals into a first material web.
  • the object is achieved with respect to the device in that the device has a first processing station for the first material web, a second processing station for the second material web and a control device.
  • the control device stops the web advance in the first processing station when a predetermined length of the material web has been reached - this length corresponds to the length of a label roll provided for the dispenser - by the way;
  • two clamping devices for clamping the first material web and a cutting device for severing the material web between the two clamping devices are provided, the ends of the material web preferably projecting over the clamping devices with their ends.
  • the control device controls the web advance in the second processing station until a web section of a predetermined length is reached.
  • At least two further clamping devices for clamping the web section and a cutting device for severing the second material web at the end of the web section are provided, the ends of the web section also here Have protrusions on the clamping devices.
  • the clamping devices of the second processing station have guide elements which move the web section of the second material web into the plane of the first material web in such a way that the protrusions at the web ends of the first and second material web preferably abut one another.
  • adhesive devices are provided which glue the ends of the two material webs to one another.
  • the first material web contains electronically detectable securing elements.
  • the electronically detectable security elements are so-called “thin films” or “strip” labels.
  • a laminate of two propylene layers is preferably used for the second material web, which represents an extremely inexpensive solution.
  • an angle encoder on the axis of a roller, the rotational speed of the roller being the same as the speed of advancing the material web is proportional.
  • the angle encoder is preferably mounted on a measuring wheel which is placed on the material web.
  • the angle encoder is a commercially available absolute or incremental encoder.
  • sensors are provided on the two supply rolls of the first and second processing stations and on the take-up roll are.
  • the sensor on the supply roll of the first processing station is a metal detector which responds to the metal layer of the magnetic securing elements.
  • the sensor which is assigned to the supply roll of the second processing station is advantageously a reflection detector, while an ultrasound sensor is used to indicate that a predetermined diameter of the take-up roll has been reached.
  • the cutting device for severing the first material web (3) is a punch-die cutting device.
  • This device whose function is similar to that of scissors, offers the advantage that the contamination of the knives by the adhesive of the laminated material web is relatively low. The time required for cleaning the cutting device can be considerably reduced by using such a cutting device.
  • a dancer roller is assigned to each of the two supply rolls and the take-up roll. This advantageous embodiment ensures that the finished material web provided with glue points does not tear apart at the glue point (weak points), particularly when the device is restarted.
  • the device According to an advantageous development of the device according to the invention, it is suggested to monitor the web run of the material webs in the first processing station as well as in the second processing station by means of a web edge control. This ensures that the inserted web sections can be inserted into the first material web without lateral offset.
