Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anlage zur kontinuierlichen Herstellung eines bedruckten Textilbandes, insbesondere eines Etikettenbandes gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a system for the continuous production of a printed textile tape, in particular a label tape according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Anlagen der eingangs genannten Art sind mehrfach bekannt so beispielsweise aus der EP-B 0 532 645 und der US-A-5 079 980 . Insbesondere aus, letzterer ist es bekannt, ein Textilband zweiseitig zu bedrucken, wobei die Anlage einer ersten Druck station zum Bedrucken der ersten Bandseite und einer zweiten Druckstation zum Bedrucken der zweiten Bandseite des Textilbandes zugeführt wird. Durch die Anordnung von zwei Druckstationen mit jeweils einem Druckkopf ist die Anlage relativ kostspielig, da die Druckköpfe mit zu den teuren Bauteilen der Anlage gehören, wodurch das Bedrucken des Textilbandes entsprechend kostspielig ist, was für Massenprodukte wie Etikettenbänder nachteilig ist.Plants of the type mentioned are known several times, for example, from the EP-B 0 532 645 and the U.S. Patent 5,079,980 , In particular, from the latter, it is known to print on both sides of a textile tape, wherein the plant is fed to a first printing station for printing the first band side and a second printing station for printing the second band side of the textile band. The arrangement of two printing stations, each with a print head, the system is relatively expensive, since the printheads are among the expensive components of the system, whereby the printing of the textile tape is correspondingly expensive, which is disadvantageous for mass products such as label tapes.

In der WO 94/27193 A1 wird eine sehr aufwändige elektrographische Druckeinrichtung offenbart, bei bandförmige Aufzeichnungsträger nach dem Bedrucken mittels einer Umlenkeinrichtung mit zugeordnetem Rückführkanal gewendet zur Druckstation zum zweiten Druckvorgang wieder zugeführt werden können. Eine ähnliche elektrostatische Druckeinrichtung zum Bedrucken von Papier ist aus der JP 04/339679 A bekannt.In the WO 94/27193 A1 a very complex electrographic printing device is disclosed in tape-shaped recording medium after printing by means of a deflection with associated return channel turned to the printing station for the second printing process can be fed again. A similar electrostatic printing device for printing on paper is from the JP 04/339679 A known.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Anlage der eingangs genanntten Art derart zu verbessern, dass eine preisgünstige Herstellung bedruckter Textilbänder, insbesondere Etikettenbänder möglich ist.The object of the invention is to improve a system of the type mentioned in such a way that an inexpensive production of printed textile tapes, in particular label tapes is possible.

Die gestellte Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1.The stated object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Dadurch, dass die Anlage derart ausgebildet ist, dass sie nicht nur eine Bandseite des Textilbandes bedrucken kann sondern mit dem gleichen Druckkopf wahlweise auch die zweite Bandseite des Textilbandes, ergibt sich eine sehr preiswerte Anlage, die eine preisgünstige Herstellung bedruckter Textilbänder ermöglicht, was insbesondere für Etikettenbänder von besonderer Bedeutung ist. Erfahrungsgemäss handelt es sich bei dem Drucker um einen Tintenstrahldrucker, der ein- oder mehrfarbig ausgestaltet sein kann und bei dem die einzelnen Zeichen mosaikartig aus feinsten Strahltröpfchen zusammengesetzt werden. Dies ermöglicht insbesondere auch einen relativ kleinen Druckkopf, der quer über die Textilbahn hin- und hergehend ausgestaltet sein soll.The fact that the system is designed such that it can not only print a band side of the textile tape but with the same printhead optionally also the second band side of the fabric, results in a very inexpensive system that allows a low-cost production of printed textile belts, which is especially for Label tapes is of particular importance. According to the experience, the printer is an inkjet printer which can be designed in one or more colors and in which the individual characters are composed in a mosaic fashion of very fine jet droplets. In particular, this also allows a relatively small printhead, which should be designed to be reciprocating across the textile web.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Anlage sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 23 beschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the system are described in claims 2 to 23.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn gemäss Anspruch 2 dem Druckkopf ein Kontrollsensor zugeordnet ist, der den herzustellenden Druck überprüft und im Falle eines Fehlers ein Fehlersignal an die Steuereinrichtung zum Anhalten der Anlage weiterleitet. Ein solcher fehlerhafter Druck kann beispiels-weise darin bestehen, dass bei einem Tintenstrahldrucker einzelne Druckerdüsen ausfallen und somit nicht drucken.It is particularly advantageous if, according to claim 2, the printhead is assigned a control sensor which checks the pressure to be produced and, in the case of a fault, forwards an error signal to the control device for stopping the system. Such a faulty pressure can be, for example, that in an inkjet printer individual printer nozzles fail and thus do not print.

Das Bedrucken der ersten und der zweiten Bandseite des Textilbandes erfolgt zwar in einem Arbeitsgang, gemäss Anspruch 3 vorzugsweise jedoch phasenverschoben, da das Textilband nach dem Bedrucken der ersten Bandseite mit der zweiten Bandseite erneut der Druckstation zugeführt werden muss. Dabei kann die zweite Bandseite des Textilbandes gemäss Anspruch 4 in der gleichen Laufrichtung wie die erste Bandseite am Druckkopf vorbei bewegt werden oder gemäss Anspruch 5 in entgegengesetzter Laufrichtung zur ersten Bandseite. Um dieses erneute Zuführen des Textilbandes zu bewerkstelligen enthält die Anlage gemäss Anspruch 6 eine Wendestation, die sehr verschieden ausgestaltet sein kann. So kann die Wendestation gemäss Anspruch 7 eine Einrichtung zum Wenden des Textilbandes um eine Längsachse des Textilbandes aufweisen. Gemäss Anspruch 8 ist auch eine Wendestation möglich, die ein Wenden der Textilbahn um eine Querachse gestattet. Hierzu kann die Wendestation gemäss Anspruch 9 ein quer zur Laufrichtung angeordnetes Wendeorgan aufweisen. Besonders bevorzugt ist eine Ausgestaltung der Anlage nach Anspruch 10, wobei die Wendestation kreuzweise angeordnete Umlenkrollen aufweist, die eine besonders exakte Ausrichtung der Textilbahn bezüglich der Druckstation ermöglichen.Although the printing of the first and the second band side of the textile tape is done in one operation, but preferably phase-shifted according to claim 3, since the textile tape after printing the first band side with the second band side again the printing station must be supplied. In this case, the second band side of the textile tape can be moved according to claim 4 in the same direction as the first band side past the print head or according to claim 5 in the opposite direction to the first band side. In order to accomplish this re-feeding of the textile tape contains the system according to claim 6, a turning station, which can be configured very different. Thus, the turning station according to claim 7 having a means for turning the textile tape about a longitudinal axis of the textile tape. According to claim 8, a turning station is also possible, which allows a turning of the textile web about a transverse axis. For this purpose, the turning station according to claim 9 have a transversely arranged to the direction of turning member. Particularly preferred is an embodiment The system of claim 10, wherein the turning station has crosswise arranged deflection rollers, which allow a particularly accurate alignment of the textile web with respect to the printing station.

Für die Ausgestaltung der Druckstation ergeben sich sehr verschiedene Möglichkeiten, je nachdem, welches Druckverfahren angewendet und ob ein- oder mehrfarbig gedruckt wird. Dabei kommen nur Druckgeräte in Frage, die eine elektronische Datenverarbeitung ermöglichen und mit, entsprechend hoher Geschwindigkeit arbeiten. Ein solcher Tintenstrahldrucker kann gemäss Anspruch 11 Verarbeitung von auf Wasser basierenden Druckfarben ausgebildet sein. Vorteilhafter ist eine Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 12 zur Verarbeitung von durch UV-Licht polymerisierenden Druckfarben.For the design of the printing station there are very different possibilities, depending on which printing process is used and whether one or more colors are printed. Only pressure equipment in question, which allow electronic data processing and work with, correspondingly high speed. Such an ink jet printer may be formed according to claim 11 processing of water-based inks. More advantageous is an embodiment according to claim 12 for the processing of UV-polymerizing inks.

Die Druckstation kann im einfachsten Fall in einer Farbe drucken, vorteilhafter ist jedoch auch eine Ausgestaltung nach Anspruch 13 als Mehrfarbendrucker.The printing station can print in the simplest case in one color, but more advantageous is also an embodiment according to claim 13 as a multi-color printer.

Der Druckstation ist gemäss Anspruch 14 mindestens eine Fixierstation für den Druck nachgeschaltet. Die Ausbildung der Fixierstation richtet sich nach dem verwendeten Druckprinzip.The printing station is connected according to claim 14 at least one fuser for the pressure. The formation of the fuser depends on the pressure principle used.

Dabei ist insbesondere darauf zu achten, dass die Fixierung möglichst schnell erfolgt und der Druck möglichst widerstandsfähig ist. Für polymerisierende Druckfarben eignet sich insbesondere eine Fixierstation auf der Basis von W-Zicht. Für mit Toner arbeitende Laserdrucker ist eine IR-Fixierstation bevorzugt, die die notwendige Wärme zum Aufschmelzen der Tonerpartikel auf dem Textilband liefert. Im letzteren Falle ist eine zusätzliche Pressstation gemäss Anspruch 15 von Vorteil, die den Druck in das Textilband eindrückt und damit die Verbindung verbessert.Particular care must be taken to ensure that the fixation takes place as quickly as possible and that the pressure is as robust as possible. For polymerizing printing inks, in particular, a fixing station based on W-Zicht is suitable. For toner-based laser printers, an IR fuser is preferred that provides the necessary heat to melt the toner particles on the fabric belt. In the latter case, an additional pressing station according to claim 15 is advantageous, which presses the pressure in the textile tape and thus improves the connection.

Weiter ist es von Vorteil, dass die Anlage gemäss Anspruch 16 eine Band-Fixierstation für das bedruckte Textilband aufweist, um das Textilband von Spannungen zu befreien und zu glätten.Further, it is advantageous that the system according to claim 16 has a band-fixing station for the printed textile tape in order to free the tape from tensions and smooth.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausgestaltung der Anlage nach Anspruch 17, wonach der Druckstation eine Beschichtungsstation nachgeschaltet ist, um das bedruckte Textilband mit einer Schutzschicht zu versehen. Eine solche Schutzschicht schützt den Druck auf dem Textilband gegen mechanische und chemische Beanspruchung.Particularly advantageous is an embodiment of the system according to claim 17, according to which the printing station is followed by a coating station in order to provide the printed textile tape with a protective layer. Such a protective layer protects the pressure on the textile belt against mechanical and chemical stress.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist eine Ausbildung der Anlage nach Anspruch 18, die es ermöglicht, eine Textilbahn zu verarbeiten, deren Breite vorzugsweise um ein Mehrfaches grösser ist als die Breite des zu bedruckenden Textilbandes. Damit kann das Ausgangsmaterial eine rationell hergestellte breite Textilbahn sein, aus der sich dann bedruckte Textilbänder gewünschter Breite herstellen lassen. Hierzu sind verschiedene Möglichkeiten gegeben. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Anlage beschreibt Anspruch 19, die insbesondere für grössere Chargen bedruckter Textilbänder geeignet ist. Für kleinere Chargen eignet sich insbesondere eine Ausgestaltung der Anlage nach Anspruch 20, wobei sich von einer Vorratsrolle grösserer Breite eine zu bedruckendes Textilband gewünschter Breite abschneiden und bedrucken lässt. Der Rest der Textilbahn wird dann wieder einer Aufnahmevorrichtung, vorzugsweise einer Aufnahmerolle zugeführt.Particularly advantageous is a design of the system according to claim 18, which makes it possible to process a textile web whose width is preferably greater by a multiple than the width of the textile web to be printed. Thus, the starting material may be a rationally produced wide textile web, from which then can be produced printed fabric tapes desired width. There are various possibilities for this. A particularly advantageous embodiment of the system is described in claim 19, which is particularly suitable for larger batches of printed textile tapes. For smaller batches, in particular, an embodiment of the system according to claim 20 is suitable, wherein a textile roll of desired width can be cut off and printed on from a supply roll of greater width. The remainder of the textile web is then returned to a receiving device, preferably fed to a take-up roll.

Die Produktionskapazität einer Anlage lässt sich auch noch dadurch steigern, dass gemäss Anspruch 21 die Druckstation derart ausgebildet ist, dass auf dem Textilband mindestens zwei Längsstreifen bedruckbar sind, wobei der Druckstation eine Längsschneidstation nachgeordnet ist, um das Textilband in Textilbänder entsprechend den bedruckten Längsstreifen zu zerschneiden.The production capacity of a system can also be increased by the fact that the printing station is designed in such a way that at least two longitudinal strips can be printed on the textile strip, the printing station being arranged downstream of a longitudinal cutting station in order to cut the textile strip into textile strips corresponding to the printed longitudinal strips ,

Zur Verbesserung der Qualität der hergestellten bedruckten Textilbänder kann die Anlage mit einer Faltstation gemäss Anspruch 22 versehen sein, um die Randbereiche des bedruckten Textilbandes gegeneinander zu falten und damit eine unschöne oder rauhe Schnittkante vom Randbereich nach innen zu verlegen. Die Faltung kann durch eine der Faltstation nachgeschaltete Fixierstation dauerhaft fixiert werden.To improve the quality of the printed textile belts produced, the system may be provided with a folding station according to claim 22 in order to fold the edge regions of the printed textile belt against each other and thus to move an unsightly or rough cutting edge from the edge region inwards. The folding can be permanently fixed by a fixing station downstream of the folding station.

Das bedrucke Textilband kann entweder aufgerollt oder in wirrer Lage in einem Behälter abgelegt werden. Vorteilhafter ist jedoch eine Ausbildung der Anlage nach Anspruch 23, wonach eine Querschneidstation vorhanden ist, um das bedruckte Textilband in Abschnitte zu unterteilen. Dieser Querschneidestation kann vorteilhafterweise eine Stapelvorrichtung nachgeordnet werden, um die Textilbandabschnitte in geordneter Form zu erfassen.The printed textile tape can either be rolled up or stored in a confused position in a container. However, more advantageous is an embodiment of the system according to claim 23, wherein a cross-cutting station is provided to divide the printed textile tape into sections. This cross-cutting station can advantageously be followed by a stacking device to detect the textile tape sections in an orderly manner.

Wege zur Ausführung der ErfindungWays to carry out the invention

Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen eine erste Anlage zur kontinuierlichen Herstellung eines bedruckten Textilbandes, insbesondere eines Etikettenbandes. Die Anlage weist eine Liefervorrichtung 2 auf, bei der auf einer Achse 4 eine Vorratsrolle 6 einer Textilbahn 8 angeordnet ist. Die Textilbahn 8 ist über eine Richtvorrichtung 10 zu einer Druckstation 12 geführt Die Richtvorrichtung 10 enthält zwei Rollen 14,16, über die die Textilbahn 8 meanderförmig geführt ist. Die Richtvorrichtung 10 dient dazu, die Textilbahn 8 stets in genauer Position bezüglich der Druckstation 12 zu halten. Vor der Druckstation 12 ist eine erste Längsschneidstation 18 angeordnet, die mittels eines Schneidelementes 20, beispielsweise in Form eines elektrisch beheizten Schmelzdrahtes 22 die Textilbahn 8 in zwei Textilbänder 24,26 unterteilt. Diese Textilbänder durchlaufen mit einer ersten Bandseite 27 eine gemeinsame Druckstation 12 mit einem Druckkopf 28, der längs eines Trägers 29 quer zu den Textilbändern 24,26 hin- und herverfahrbar ist. Der Druckkopf 28 ist vorzugsweise als Tintenstrahldrucker ausgebildet, der die Textilbänder 24,26 mit einer polymerisierbaren Farbe bedruckt. Der Druckstation 12 ist eine Fixierstation 30 nachgeschaltet, die den Druck mittels UV-Licht durch Polymerisation fixiert. Die Textilbänder 24,26 werden mittels Umlenkrollen 32A, 32B Wendestationen 34A, 34B zugeführt.The FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first system for the continuous production of a printed textile tape, in particular a label tape. The system has a delivery device 2, in which a supply roll 6 of a textile web 8 is arranged on an axle 4. The textile web 8 is guided via a straightening device 10 to a printing station 12. The straightening device 10 includes two rollers 14,16, over which the textile web 8 is guided meandering. The straightening device 10 serves to keep the textile web 8 always in exact position with respect to the printing station 12. Before the printing station 12, a first longitudinal cutting station 18 is arranged, which by means of a cutting element 20, for example in the form an electrically heated fusible wire 22, the textile web 8 divided into two textile bands 24,26. These textile belts pass through a first belt side 27, a common printing station 12 with a print head 28, which is along a support 29 transversely to the textile belts 24,26 back and forth herverfahrbar. The print head 28 is preferably designed as an inkjet printer which prints the textile bands 24, 26 with a polymerizable ink. The printing station 12 is followed by a fuser 30 which fixes the pressure by means of UV light polymerization. The textile belts 24,26 are supplied by means of deflection rollers 32A, 32B turning stations 34A, 34B.

Die Wendestationen enthalten kreuzweise angeordnete Wendeorgane 36,38, beispielsweise Stäbe oder Rollen. An dem ersten Wendeorgan 36 werden die Textilbänder 24 beziehungsweise 26 zunächst um 90° gegen das zweite Wendeorgan 38 umgelenkt und an letzterem erneut um 90° parallel zur Textilbahn 8 der Druckstation 12 zurückgeführt, sodass die Textilbänder 24 beziehungsweise 26 die Druckstation 12 mit der zweiten Bandseite 40 in entgegengesetzter Richtung zur ersten Bandseite 27 durchlaufen. Die zweite Bandseite 40 wird dann an der gleichen Druckstation 12 mit dem gleichen Druckkopf 28 in einem Arbeitsgang bedruckt, wobei der Druck der zweiten Bandseite 40 bezüglich des Drucks der ersten Bandseite 27 phasenverschoben ist. Die zweite Bandseite 40 wird dann ebenfalls der gleichen Fixierstation 30 zugeführt, welche auch zum Fixieren des Drucks der ersten Bandseite dient.The turning stations contain crosswise arranged turning elements 36, 38, for example rods or rollers. At the first turning member 36, the textile belts 24 and 26 are first deflected by 90 ° against the second turning member 38 and returned to the latter again by 90 ° parallel to the textile web 8 of the printing station 12, so that the textile belts 24 and 26, the printing station 12 with the second hinge side 40 through in the opposite direction to the first band side 27. The second band side 40 is then printed at the same printing station 12 with the same print head 28 in one operation, wherein the pressure of the second band side 40 with respect to the pressure of the first band side 27 is phase-shifted. The second band side 40 is then also supplied to the same fixing station 30, which also serves to fix the pressure of the first band side.

Nach dem Bedrucken der ersten Bandseite 27 und der zweiten Bandseite 40 der Textilbänder 24,26 können diese beliebig weiter verarbeitet werden. Im einfachsten Fall können die Textilbänder 24,26 in nicht dargestellter Weise auf Vorratsrollen aufgerollt oder in Abschnitte unterteilt werden. Die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen weitere Bearbeitungsmöglichkeiten, so wird das Textilband 24 nach der Fixiervorrichtung 30 an einer zweiten Längsschneidstation 42 erneut in Textilbänder 24A, 24B, 24C kleinerer Breite unterteilt, die an einer Querschneidstation 44 in Textilbandabschnitte 46 unterteilt und in einer Stapelvorrichtung 48 gestapelt werden. Die Längsschneidstation 42 enthält als Schmelzdrähte 22 ausgestaltete Schneidelemente 20. Die Querschneidstation 44 ist mit einem quer zur Laufrichtung bewegbaren Schneidmesser 50 ausgestattet.After printing on the first band side 27 and the second band side 40 of the textile bands 24, 26, they can be further processed as desired. In the simplest case, the textile bands 24,26 can be rolled up in a manner not shown on supply rolls or divided into sections. The FIGS. 1 to 3 show further processing options, the textile tape 24 is again subdivided after the fixing device 30 at a second longitudinal cutting station 42 in textile bands 24A, 24B, 24C smaller width, which at a cross-cutting station 44 are divided into textile band sections 46 and stacked in a stacking device 48. The longitudinal cutting station 42 contains cutting elements 20 designed as fusion wires 22. The transverse cutting station 44 is equipped with a cutting blade 50 movable transversely to the direction of travel.

Das Textilband 26 der anderen Seite der Anlage wird ebenfalls einer Längsschneidstation 52 zugeführt, an der es mittels eines Schneidelementes 20 in Form eines elektrisch beheizten Schmelzdrahtes 22 in zwei Textilbänder 26A,26B unterteilt wird. Der Längsschneidstation 52 ist eine Faltstation 54 nachgeschaltet, an der die Randbereiche 56 der Textilbänder 26A, 26B gegeneinander gefaltet werden. In einer nachgeschalteten Bandfixierstation 58 werden die gefalteten Bänder in ihrer Form fixiert. Hierzu weist die Fixierstation eine Heizwalze 60 und zwei Presswalzen 62 auf, die die gefalteten Bänder gegen die Heizwalze 60 drücken. In einer nachgeschalteten Querschneidstation 44 werden die so gefalteten Textilbänder 26A, 26B wiederum in Textilbandabschnitte 64 zerschnitten, die in einer Stapelvorrichtung 48 gestapelt werden.The textile band 26 on the other side of the installation is likewise fed to a longitudinal cutting station 52, at which it is subdivided into two textile bands 26A, 26B by means of a cutting element 20 in the form of an electrically heated fusible wire 22. The longitudinal cutting station 52 is followed by a folding station 54, at which the edge regions 56 of the textile bands 26A, 26B are folded against each other. In a downstream belt fixing station 58, the folded strips are fixed in their form. For this purpose, the fuser has a heating roller 60 and two press rollers 62 which press the folded belts against the heating roller 60. In a downstream cross-cutting station 44, the thus folded textile belts 26A, 26B are in turn cut into textile belt sections 64, which are stacked in a stacking device 48.

Zur Steuerung der Anlage dient eine elektronische Steuervorrichtung 66, die insbesondere die Druckstation 12 mit dem Druckkopf 28 steuert und auch die übrigen Komponenten der Anlage aufeinander abstimmt.To control the system is an electronic control device 66 which controls in particular the printing station 12 with the print head 28 and also tunes the other components of the system to each other.

Die Figur 4 zeigt die Anlage der Figuren 1 bis 3, wobei jedoch der rechte Teil der Anlage nach der Druckstation 12 derart quer zur Laufrichtung des Textilbandes verschoben ist, dass das Textilband 26 die Wendestation 34B nicht mehr durchläuft, sondern direkt der Längsschneidstation 52, der nachfolgenden Faltstation 54, der Bandfixierstation 58 und der Querschneidstation 44 und der Stapelvorrichtung 48 zugeführt wird. In diesem Falle wird nur die erste Bandseite 27 des Textilbandes 26 bedruckt.The FIG. 4 shows the attachment of the FIGS. 1 to 3 However, wherein the right part of the system is shifted to the printing station 12 so transversely to the direction of the textile belt that the textile belt 26 no longer passes through the turning station 34B, but directly the longitudinal cutting station 52, the subsequent folding station 54, the belt fixing station 58 and the cross cutting station 44th and the stacking device 48 is supplied. In this case, only the first band side 27 of the textile band 26 is printed.

Die Figur 5 zeigt ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel einer Anlage zum kontinuierlichen Herstellen eines bedruckten Textilbandes, insbesondere eines Etikettenbandes. Diese Anlage weist eine Liefervorrichtung 68 für eine Textilbahn 70 auf, die auf einer Vorratsrolle 72 aufgewickelt ist. Die Breite der Textilbahn 70 beträgt ein Mehrfaches der Breite des bedruckten Textilbandes 74. Die Textilbahn 70 durchläuft von der Vorratsrolle 72 kommend eine Richtvorrichtung 76 und gelangt dann zu einer Längsschneidstation 78, an der ein Schneidelement 80 in Form eines Schmelzdrahtes 82 ein Textilband 74 der gewünschten Breite von der Textilbahn 70 abtrennt. Das Textilband 74 gelangt dann zur Druckstation 84, an der ein Druckkopf 86 mit Druckeinheiten 88A, 88B, 88C für verschiedene Farben hintereinander angeordnet sind. Auch in diesem Fall handelt es sich um einen Tintenstrahldrucker, der zunächst die erste Bandseite 90 des Textilbandes 74 bedruckt. Der Druckstation ist ein Kontrollsensor 92 nachgeschaltet, der das Druckbild auf Fehler überwacht.The FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of a system for the continuous production of a printed textile tape, in particular a label tape. This system has a delivery device 68 for a textile web 70, which is wound up on a supply roll 72. The textile web 70 passes from the supply roll 72 coming a straightening device 76 and then passes to a longitudinal cutting station 78 to which a cutting element 80 in the form of a weft wire 82, a textile belt 74 of the desired Width separated from the textile web 70. The textile belt 74 then passes to the printing station 84, at which a print head 86 with printing units 88A, 88B, 88C for different colors are arranged one behind the other. Also in this case, it is an inkjet printer, which first prints the first band side 90 of the textile belt 74. The printing station is followed by a control sensor 92, which monitors the printed image for errors.

An die Druckstation 84 und den Kontrollsensor 92 schliesst sich eine Fixierstation 94 an, die einen UV-Bereich 94A und einen IR-Bereich 94B aufweist. Im UV-Bereich 94A wird der Druck durch UV-Licht behandelt, zum Beispiel polymerisiert. Im IR-Bereich 94B erfolgt die Fixierung durch eine Wärmebehandlung. An die Fixierstation 94 schliesst sich eine Wendestation 96 an, die eine quer zur Längsrichtung des Textilbandes angeordnete Umlenkrolle 98 enthält, welche das Textilband 74 zur Druckstation 84 zurückführt. Das Textilband 74 gelangt mit seiner zweiten Bandseite 100 unter den Druckkopf 86 der Druckstation 84, durchwandert diese in entgegengesetzter Richtung zur ersten Bundseite 90 des Textilbandes 74 und wird somit im gleichen Arbeitsgang und mit der gleichen Druckstation 84 mit dem gleichen Druckkopf 86 in phasenverschobener Weise bedruckt. Das nunmehr zweiseitig bedruckte Textilband 74 gelangt über eine weitere Umlenkrolle 102 in die Fixierstation 94 und anschliessend zu einer. Abzugsvorrichtung 104, die gleichzeitig als weitere Bandfixierstation 106 ausgestaltet sein kann.The printing station 84 and the control sensor 92 are followed by a fixing station 94, which has a UV region 94A and an IR region 94B. In the UV region 94A, the print is treated by UV light, for example polymerized. In the IR region 94B, the fixation is carried out by a heat treatment. A turning station 96 adjoins the fixing station 94 and contains a deflection roller 98 arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the textile belt, which returns the textile belt 74 to the printing station 84. The textile belt 74 passes with its second band side 100 under the print head 86 of the printing station 84, passes through this in the opposite direction to the first waist side 90 of the textile belt 74 and is thus printed in the same operation and with the same printing station 84 with the same print head 86 in phase-shifted manner , The now printed on two sides textile web 74 passes through a further guide roller 102 in the fuser 94 and then to a. Deduction device 104, which can be configured as a further band fixing station 106 at the same time.

Hierzu ist eine Walze 108 beheizt. An die Bandfixierstation 106 schliesst sich eine Querschneidstation 110 an, an der das bedruckte Band mittels einer Schneidvorrichtung 112 quer zur Laufrichtung in Textilbahnabschnitte 114, vorzugsweise Etiketten zerschnitten wird, die in einer Stapelvorrichtung 116 gestapelt werden.For this purpose, a roller 108 is heated. The belt fixing station 106 is adjoined by a cross-cutting station 110, at which the printed tape is cut by a cutting device 112 transversely to the direction of travel into textile web sections 114, preferably labels, which are stacked in a stacking device 116.

Der nicht verwendete Textilbahnteil 118 wird über eine Umlenkrolle 120 einer Aufnahmevorrichtung 122 zugeführt und vorzugsweise zu einer Vorratsrolle 124 aufgewickelt.The unused textile web part 118 is fed via a deflection roller 120 to a receiving device 122 and preferably wound up into a supply roll 124.

Die Figur 6 zeigt aufeinander folgende bedruckte Textilbahnabschnitte 114, die durch einen Trennbereich 126 voneinander getrennt sind. An diesem Trennbereich 126 arbeiten sämtliche Düsen des Druckkopfes 86 gleichzeitig, um diese zu reinigen. Eine strichpunktiert angedeutete Absaugvorrichtung 128 führt überflüssige frei werdende Drucktinte ab.The FIG. 6 shows successive printed textile web sections 114 which are separated by a separation region 126. At this separation area 126, all the nozzles of the print head 86 operate simultaneously to clean them. A dot-dash line indicated suction device 128 removes superfluous released printing ink.

Die Anlage der Figur 5 enthält wiederum eine elektronische Steuervorrichtung 130, die nicht nur die Druckstation 84 steuert sondern sämtliche Bauteile der Anlage und deren Funktionen aufeinander abstimmt.The plant of FIG. 5 again contains an electronic control device 130, which controls not only the printing station 84 but tunes all components of the system and their functions to each other.

Die Figur 7 zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Anlage der Figuren 1 bis 3 mit abgewandelten Wendestationen 132A,132B. Die Textilbänder 24,26 sind über erste Umlenkrollen 134A, 134B geführt, die unter einem kleinen Winkel zur Querrichtung der Textilbänder geneigt sind und dadurch die Textilbänder 24,26 soweit von der ursprünglichen ankommenden Richtung auslenken bis sie ausserhalb der ursprünglichen ankommenden Richtung der Textilbänder zweite Umlenkrollen 136A, 136B erreichen. Letztere sind analog derart geneigt angeordnet, dass die Textilbänder 24,26 wieder paralell zu und in Laufrichtung der ursprünglichen ankommenden Textilbänder umgelenkt und ausgerichtet werden. Zwischen den ersten Umlenkrollen 134A, 134B und den zweiten Umlenkrollen 136A, 136B werden die Textilbänder um ihre eigene Längsachse verdreht, so dass sie nach den zweiten Umlenkrollen 136A, 136B mit ihrer zweiten Bandseite 40 oben liegen.The FIG. 7 shows a section of the plant of FIGS. 1 to 3 with modified turning stations 132A, 132B. The textile belts 24,26 are guided over first guide rollers 134A, 134B, which are inclined at a small angle to the transverse direction of the textile belts and thereby deflect the textile belts 24,26 far from the original incoming direction until they outside the original incoming direction of the textile belts second pulleys 136A, 136B. The latter are arranged inclined in an analogous manner such that the textile bands 24, 26 are again deflected and aligned parallel to and in the direction of travel of the original incoming textile bands. Between the first guide rollers 134A, 134B and the second Deflection rollers 136A, 136B, the textile belts are rotated about their own longitudinal axis, so that they are after the second guide rollers 136A, 136B with their second band side 40 above.

Anstelle der oder zusätzlich zur Richtvorrichtung kann die Anlage vor der Druckstation mit einem Sensor ausgestattet sein, der den Rand des Textilbandes abtastet, um die Lage des Randes zu bestimmen und danach den seitlichen Druckbeginn an dem Textilband zu bestimmen. Der Druckbeginn in Längsrichtung des Textilbandes kann durch Markierungen im Textilband bestimmt werden, insbesondere dann, wenn das Textilband nicht neutral sondern bereits mit einem beispielsweise eingewebten Grundmuster versehen ist.Instead of or in addition to the straightening device, the system can be equipped before the printing station with a sensor which scans the edge of the textile belt to determine the position of the edge and then to determine the lateral pressure on the textile belt. The beginning of printing in the longitudinal direction of the textile belt can be determined by markings in the textile belt, in particular when the textile belt is not neutral but is already provided with a basic pattern that is woven, for example.

Es sind zahlreiche weitere Ausführungsbeispiele denkbar, wobei insbesondere auch Teilausführungen der Ausführungsbeispiele untereinander kombinierbar sind.There are numerous other embodiments conceivable, in particular, partial embodiments of the embodiments can be combined with each other.
