Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for producing light-diffractive structures on workpieces by embossing.
  • holograms or the like on metal surfaces for example on coins
  • Diffraction-active surfaces not only fulfill decorative purposes, but can also serve as protection against counterfeiting.
  • the optical effect is based on very fine, relief-like introduced into the respective surface periodically structured grating structures.
  • the most well-known example are metallised plastic films with holograms, as they are used on check cards and banknotes, in adhesive sealing, etc.
  • diffraction-active films While a smooth surface reflects incident light, ie radiates again at an angle of incidence matching the angle of incidence, there is an angle change in the diffraction gratings which, for example, is observed as a color change effect on hologram films can be.
  • the production of diffraction-active films is based on the embossing of thermoplastics by means of electroplated nickel stamps and subsequent metallization of the grid surface.
  • diffraction gratings are introduced directly into surfaces of metallic bodies.
  • the die is formed by a monocrystalline diamond, which is soldered by means of cobalt with a carrier body.
  • the negative structure of the later to be generated on the workpiece diffraction grating is incorporated into the die by means of a laser.
  • the die can be polished with an electron beam or an X-ray beam.
  • the size of the interference-active structures to be generated is limited from the outset to the size of existing diamonds.
  • the DE 100 02 644 A1 the production of diffractive relief structures on coin surfaces.
  • the blank in question is first coated in a dip with a thin photosensitive plastic layer.
  • the plastic layer is exposed and developed.
  • microscopically fine areas of the coin surface are exposed.
  • Subsequent microscopic relief structures can then be etched into the coin surface in an etching bath, after which the photosensitive plastic is removed again.
  • the DE 100 02 644 A1 also discloses a concept for a counterfeit-proof coin with diffractive optical, the conventional design elements of a coin complementary features.
  • a reader is presented, which is installed in coin validators and similar devices. At the heart of this reader is a light source and a matched sensor, which determines, among other things, whether the diffraction maxima of the light emitted by the signature on the coin light occur at the expected due to the wavelength of the light and the lattice parameter of the structure body.
  • interference-capable microstructures for example for the production of holograms in coins or the like by means of stamping known.
  • several hard layers for example of cobalt or nickel alloys are deposited on an embossing die, are embedded in the diamond crystals.
  • the layers can be applied by special alloying baths or metal spraying, by electrodeposition or by plasma deposition.
  • the surface layer is formed by a diamond-like layer containing the microstructure.
  • the cited document generally refers to galvanic processes, electron or laser engraving, fine etching techniques and direct engraving by means of diamond tools.
  • the embossing device is used for processing metal objects, such as coins. It contains a micro embossing station, which is set up to produce a diffraction-active structure on the solid object in an embossing process. This may consist of a dot or line pattern defining bumps and depressions on the surface of the article. The size of these structures is in the range of the wavelength of light, so that diffraction and interference can occur. The interfering light produces colored surface areas.
  • the article passes through an applicator in which a protective layer is applied to the diffractive structure. This protective layer fills in and covers the diffractive structures.
  • Suitable protective coatings include mineral oils, silicone oils, lacquers, paints, plastics such as duromers, elastomers, solutions of inorganic or organic substances, aqueous solutions, etc.
  • the article provided with the protective layer is then fed to an embossing station in which a macroscopic image relief is applied to the article is attached.
  • This image relief may extend over the area previously embossed in the micro embossing station.
  • the diffraction-active structure can remain undeformed or even deformed. For example, it may be provided with a concave or convex curvature. They can also pass through the diffractive structure extending macroscopic line structures or other geometric elements are generated.
  • the protective layer ensures that the diffraction-active structure is retained, ie not or only slightly damaged.
  • metal objects such as coins, which have a macroscopic relief, as is common in coins, succeeds, in which relief the previously generated diffraction-active structures are integrated.
  • This succeeds in the production of metal coins with different color effects.
  • the color effects result from interference of the reflected light at the diffraction-active structures.
  • the diffraction-active structures can be used as an authenticity feature. They can also be used in a variety of other ways, such as age or wear ads. For example, the diffractive activity disappears with gradual wear of the diffraction-active structure, such as when the coin is tapped.
  • the protective layer may be formed by an opaque material. But it is also possible to provide a protective layer of transparent material, which is not removed after completion of the coin or other metal object. If the material of the protective layer has a different refractive index than air, the diffractive structure may produce different colors as long as the protective layer is present than after removal of the protective layer. In this way, a built-in clock or an expiration date can be attached to corresponding items, so to speak. If the protective layer gradually dissolves when the article is used, it will increase as soon as the protective layer is lost a color change on the diffractive structure, which then indicates that the expiration date has been reached.
  • the micro-embossing punch is preferably made of a high-strength hard carrier material, such as carbide.
  • a hard-material layer can be applied to the micro-embossing stamp, which has a micro embossing relief for producing the diffraction-active structures in the form of diffractive embossing points on the object, which is preferably made of metal.
  • the hard material layer is preferably a DLC layer (DLC stands for Diamond Like Carbon, ie diamond-like carbon).
  • the size of the micro-embossing stamp may differ from the size of the embossing stamp assigned to the macro embossing station. In this way, smaller microembossed diffraction-active structures can be produced in a stamped image. It is possible to arrange the micro-embossing points and the macro-embossing points so that they completely overlap. It is also possible to provide only a partial overlap or to completely avoid overlapping.
  • the micro-embossing station is preferably associated with a cleaning device that keeps the micro-embossing die clean. This can be done by direct occasional cleaning of the microprye stamp and / or by cleaning the article supplied to the microgargestation.
  • a cleaning device a particle jet cleaning device is preferably provided. This can have tuyeres, by means of which a particle beam can be directed to the embossing relief of the micro-embossing stamp and / or the metal object.
  • a particle beam in particular, a dry ice jet is suitable.
  • brushes or other mechanical cleaning means may be provided which cooperate with the micro-die.
  • the device according to the invention has an application device for the protective agent.
  • the applicator is designed as a spraying device. This is preferably arranged between the micro embossing station and the relief embossing station.
  • the article may be sprayed with the protective agent at its diffraction-active embossed location when guided by a transfer device through the applicator.
  • the applicator preferably carries a liquid protective agent, which can remain liquid depending on the requirements or even curing. It protects the generated diffractive structure from destruction during embossing.
  • Fig. 1 an embossing device 1 is illustrated, which can serve for the production of combined embossed metal or other objects.
  • Combined embossing is understood to mean that the embossing image contains diffraction-active microstructures which produce color effects due to light interference in incident light and that macroscopic structural elements are also present, such as are generally present in embossed objects, such as coins or the like.
  • the embossing device contains a plurality of stations, namely a micro embossing station 2, an applicator 3 and a relief embossing station 4. Furthermore, a stamping station 5 can be provided.
  • the Mikroticiangestation 2 serves to, for example, on an existing example of metal object, such as the blank 6 after Fig.
  • the applicator 3 serves to provide the diffraction-active structure just produced with a protective agent, such as a protective fluid.
  • the relief embossing station 4 serves to attach a macroscopic embossing pattern to the metal object.
  • the punching station 5 is used for example for embossing or punching the edge of the metal object, which may be for example a coin.
  • the metal object passes through the stations 2 to 5 serially.
  • a transfer device 6 is provided, for example in the form of one or more grippers.
  • the transfer device 6 is in Fig. 1 illustrated extremely schematically.
  • the micro embossing station 2 and the relief embossing station 4 and the optional punching station 5 may be steps of a pressing tool or separate pressing tools.
  • the pressing tools can be arranged in different presses or, as is preferred, in one and the same press. For example, they each have a lower tool part 7, 8, 9. These rest, for example, on a common lower tool carrier 10. This can on be arranged a press table not further illustrated.
  • the lower tool parts 7, 8, 9 are associated with upper tool parts 11, 12, 13. These rest on a common tool carrier 14, which is fastened, for example, to the press ram.
  • the tool parts 7, 11, form the Mikro rempligestation 2.
  • One of the two tool parts 7, 11, or both, are provided with a micro-stamp 15.
  • This consists for example of hard metal with a hard material support, such as a DLC-edition.
  • a micro engraving is introduced, for example by laser ablation.
  • the structure 16 consists of microfine protrusions and recesses whose dimension is of the order of the wavelength of light so that reflected light exhibits interference and diffraction phenomena.
  • the micro embossing station 2 is preferably assigned a cleaning station 17.
  • a particle beam for example a dry ice jet
  • the applicator 3 arranged between the relief embossing station 4 and the micro embossing station 2 contains, for example, a spray nozzle 18, which is connected to a supply unit (not further illustrated) and can selectively spray a protective fluid. It is oriented in such a way that it strikes a workpiece held by, for example, the transfer device 6.
  • the relief embossing station 12 is formed as in a conventional embossing press.
  • the tool parts 12, 8 contain an engraving, in which the object M is inserted to be embossed.
  • the tool parts 9, 13 are conventional parts of a stamping station.
  • the embossing device 1 described so far operates as follows:
  • the transfer device 6 sets the blank M after Fig. 2 first in the embossing station 2 when the tool parts 7, 11 are open, that are moved away from each other.
  • the micro-embossing step follows, in which the micro-embossing stamp 15 generates a micro-embossed structure 19 on the object M, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is indicated.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates the micro-embossed structure 19 in an idealized form. It contains the diffractive structure 16 in the form of smaller elevations 20 and recesses 21, for example in the form of webs which are half a few microns wide and one-half to a few microns high.
  • the diffraction-active structure 16 generates colored patterns with constant or even changing colors depending on the direction of light incidence when light is incident.
  • the tool consisting of the tool parts 7, 11 opens again and the transfer device 6 leads the article M out of the tool.
  • the object M is then passed through the applicator 3, that is, under the spray nozzle 18, which emits a spray at the right moment.
  • the micro-embossed structure 19, as Fig. 5 shows filled with a protective fluid 22.
  • the protective fluid may be a silicone oil, a mineral oil, a protective varnish or the like.
  • the object M at least fed to a further embossing step, as they are otherwise used in a macroscopic embossing of objects.
  • the protective fluid 22 fills out the micro-embossed structure 19 and prevents its damage or destruction.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the article M after it has passed through the embossing station 4.
  • the micro-embossed structure 19 is superimposed on a macroscopic embossing pattern 23 in which the micro-embossing structure 19 protected by the protective fluid 22 is embedded.
  • the micro-embossed structure 19 can be slightly deformed without being destroyed.
  • the invention combines diffractive or interference active microembossing of an article with conventional macroscopic embossing by first applying diffractive structures and then macroscopic embossing structures to the article in the microprecision step. After the micro-embossing step, a protective fluid is applied to the diffractive embossing structure, which protects the micro-embossed structure from damage in the subsequent embossing process. The protective fluid can then remain on the micro-embossed structure or can be selectively removed. For this purpose, appropriate cleaning stations may be provided.
