Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for printing containers according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for printing containers according to claim 4.
  • Container equipment systems usually apply information to containers which inform the end user of the contents of the container. Their graphic design also serves to promote sales. A typical area of application is the food industry, with a beverage being filled into the containers, for example. In addition to the content information, it may also be necessary to provide the containers with best-before dates for perishable foods. This has been done for a long time by applying printed labels. In recent times, however, developments have also been to dispense with the label material and to print directly on the containers. In systems in which the complete equipment is not carried out in one step, the containers pass through several equipment machines, whereby the space for installing several equipment machines is sometimes very limited. For this purpose, changes of direction in the main conveyor path are necessary, for example in order to be able to implement an alley-shaped arrangement of the equipment machines.
  • WO2010 / 034375 A1 describes a device for printing on packaging with multiple printing.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method for printing on containers and a device for printing on containers, which enable flexible equipping of containers with partial print images.
  • the invention relates to a method for printing on containers, in which a container of at least two rotating modules, on which rotating printing heads are arranged, is each equipped with a partial print image per module, the containers are transferred directly from one module to the next and the partial print images each have a start and an end edge in the circumferential direction of the container, the container remaining aligned or realigned after the completion of the first partial print image so that the printing of the second partial print image with the Printhead of the following module begins at a peripheral position of the container which is at a distance from the start and end edge of the first partial print image.
  • the process is all-round printing.
  • the opposite side of the container faces the print head of the following module at the start and end edge of the first partial print.
  • printing can begin in the middle of the partial print image of the previous module.
  • the distance is equal to 180 °.
  • the available treatment angle can be fully used.
  • a large number of print heads can be arranged per module at equidistant intervals, which rotate continuously with the module in the direction of rotation.
  • the container can remain aligned after the completion of the first partial print image or an alignment can be dispensed with.
  • the print heads can lie within the pitch circle of both print modules through which the containers pass, the print heads being directed perpendicularly to an outer wall of the container and each pointing radially outward from a central axis of the modules.
  • the container can be rotated in the same direction about its longitudinal axis in both modules during printing.
  • the rotation of the container about its longitudinal axis can be stopped before a transfer to the next module takes place.
  • the invention relates to a device for printing on containers with a control device, which is designed to carry out a method for printing on containers, as described above or below.
  • a container equipment system for printing containers can be a conveyor system for transporting the containers through the equipment system along a predetermined transport route, can be arranged on the conveyor system, in particular permanently arranged, receptacles for receiving individual containers or groups of containers and can comprise at least two peripheral equipment devices for printing on the containers, at least one print head for printing on the containers being arranged on the equipment devices.
  • the equipment system can have several modules of the same type. By using individual modules, the system can be flexibly adapted to new requirements that arise at the installation site, in that individual modules can be exchanged, removed or added in a simple manner.
  • a container equipment system for equipping containers can be a conveyor system for transporting the containers through the equipment system along a predetermined transport route, can be arranged on the conveyor system, in particular fixedly arranged receptacles for receiving individual containers or groups of containers, can be at least two encircling equipment devices for equipping the containers, wherein a main conveying path of the containers through the equipment system has a change of direction, wherein at least one equipment device is arranged before and one equipment device after the change of direction.
  • the transport route in the area of the change of direction has a section which has a curvature that is at least in sections different from that of the upstream equipment device.
  • the length of the section is at least one fifth of the distance traveled by the containers in the upstream equipment device.
  • Decoration is understood to mean, for example, a surface printing of the container with printing medium.
  • the intermediate conveying section without equipment can be used to create space, so to speak, in order to transport the containers to an entry point of the subsequent equipment device which is as favorable as possible.
  • the total space requirement of the system may increase slightly, but this is deliberately accepted in order to ensure high performance and utilization of the machines that equip the containers.
  • the conveyor section is relatively inexpensive compared to the treatment time gained by it.
  • the length of the conveyor section can be at least a quarter or at least a third, or at least half of the transport path of the containers in the upstream equipment device, depending on which angle is to be realized in a main conveyor path.
  • the section has in particular a shorter distance to be covered by the containers, than twice the distance that the containers cover in an upstream equipment device.
  • the distance of the conveyor section can also be longer.
  • the conveying section or the transport route in the area of the change of direction connects an outlet of the equipment device upstream in the transport direction with an inlet of the downstream equipment device such that the containers have a treatment angle of from the inlet to the outlet of the upstream equipment device and from the inlet to the outlet of the downstream equipment device more than 235 °, in particular of more than 265 ° is available.
  • the angle information can also be viewed as a function of the time or the distance from one revolution - the specified 265 ° would be two hundred and sixty-five three hundred and sixty-sixths of the route or the period of circulation.
  • the conveyor system transports the containers in the area of the rotating equipment devices in particular in such a way that the transport path is concentric to the circulation path of the equipment device, at least in sections.
  • the conveyor section can also have a different sign of curvature.
  • the containers can also be transported further away from a conveyor in certain embodiment variants of the system, which conveyor is arranged in the transport direction in front of the conveyor which transfers the containers to the conveyor section.
  • the curvature of the transport path can also change twice or three times or several times on the conveyor section.
  • the conveying section comprises an independent, revolving conveyor, on which a multiplicity of container receptacles, for example in the form of external grippers, in particular clamps, or holder mandrels which grip the container, are arranged.
  • This conveyor section as a whole can comprise, for example, a belt conveyor or a rotating transport star.
  • the containers are transferred to the receptacles of this conveyor section by the upstream equipment device and transferred from the receptacles of the conveyor to the downstream equipment device. The recordings then run back empty until the next container is assigned to them.
  • the conveyor section can also have two or more independent conveyors, e.g. Include funding stars.
  • the conveyor system can be attached directly to the equipment. Prefers it is a system similar to that described for the conveyor section - however, the design of the receptacles may differ.
  • the conveyor section according to the invention can also comprise a rail instead of a conveyor with its own gripping means for the containers.
  • the transport route through which the containers pass is essentially meandering, although depending on the design of the conveyor section arranged in the area of change of direction, there are also linear sections (for example by using a belt transport) can. If the conveyor section also has only rotating transport stars, the meandering shape is continuous, but the angular ranges traversed in the area of the conveyor section can be smaller than those in the area of the equipment devices.
  • the equipment stars with means for equipping them can also themselves provide the conveyor system by arranging receptacles for conveying the containers on them.
  • the main conveying path is not formed by every differentially small point on the transport route, but by the stations as a whole.
  • the main conveyor path can be formed by the connection of the individual transfer points of the containers or bottles from conveyor to conveyor. Another possibility is the result of connecting the centers of several stars.
  • At least two equipment devices are provided before and / or after the change of direction.
  • the respective two equipment devices can connect directly to one another, i.e. that no intermediate conveyor is placed between them. This has the advantage of a very compact design.
  • the equipment devices are advantageously arranged relative to one another such that the containers are equipped along at least two thirds, in particular at least three Quarters, the total scope is possible.
  • this corresponds to a continuous angle of the circle segment of at least 240 °, in particular of at least 270 °.
  • This can be achieved, for example, by zigzagging the equipment devices relative to one another.
  • the zigzag results from the connection of the individual centers (axes of rotation) of the rotary machine.
  • a treatment angle of almost 300 ° is possible in this way in this way, but depending on the size of the containers to be treated, a distance must be left for their transport if the equipment is located on the same level.
  • the equipment devices are, in particular, devices for direct printing from the container outer surfaces, in particular from the side surfaces along the circumference of the containers.
  • several print heads can be provided per equipment device, which apply printing medium to the outer surface of the container.
  • the print medium can be ink, paint, varnish or the like, in particular UV-curable ink.
  • the print heads in particular have a large number of individually controllable nozzles and operate on the ink jet principle.
  • the print heads can be arranged movably on the equipment devices.
  • the print heads then run synchronously with it.
  • Motorized or manual adjustment of the print heads to the outer contours of the bottles is also envisaged.
  • the adjustment can take place when changing the bottle format, for example by reading CAD or image data of the new bottle, but also by measuring the new bottle using a sensor or a camera.
  • the motors could also be moved to the new contours of the bottles by hand and this setting saved so that they can be printed on the same Bottles, i.e. if they are used again in a later production cycle - can be reused.
  • a height (in the vertical direction) of the print heads and / or an angle of attack can be adjusted via the motors.
  • the angle of attack is in the plane which is formed by the machine axis of rotation and the circumferential position of the print head on the equipment device.
  • An angle of attack can also be set, which lies in the horizontal plane. This angle can change the resolution of the printed image, in particular if the print heads are provided with a plurality of rows of nozzles which extend along the longitudinal axis of the print head.
  • the longitudinal axis of the print head is usually the one along which most of the print head nozzles are arranged.
  • the longitudinal axis of the print head is perpendicular to the transport plane when printing on cylindrical containers which are transported upright.
  • a drive for linear adjustment of the print heads can be provided, with which a distance between the print head and the container is changed, in particular parallel to the container transport plane, in particular in the horizontal direction.
  • the printheads can also be moved in a vertical direction.
  • the print heads can also be adjustable along the longitudinal axis of the container or can even be moved during printing. Alternatively, the containers can also be moved along their longitudinal axis.
  • Some equipment devices are preferably direct printing modules which essentially differ from one another only in that they are used to apply different colors and / or printing motifs to the containers.
  • At least one equipment device can also be formed by a labeling machine, in particular one that applies stretchable, tubular labels to the containers.
  • a labeling machine can also serve as an equipment device, which attaches labels made of paper or plastic to the containers from the side.
  • labels made of paper or plastic
  • self-adhesive labels can also be used here, in particular in the "no-label look”.
  • the container equipment system can also have independent modules for curing or crosslinking UV-curable inks (pinning).
  • a module has at least one UV lamp, which is aimed at at least the area to which the printing ink is applied. This area can also be expanded for sterilization purposes or an additional UV lamp in the area of the mouth the container attached, which sterilizes them.
  • a UV lamp that can be retracted into the container is also envisaged in order to be able to harden the outside of the applied printing ink from the inside and at the same time to sterilize the inside wall of the container.
  • the UV lamp, which can be retracted inwards is attached to a module in particular so that it rotates.
  • the UV lamps that treat the outside of the container can also be rotating lamps, but it is also possible to build an enclosure in the form of a fixed tunnel around this module, which is equipped with UV lamps fixed to it .
  • the statements mentioned in this paragraph can also be used in the conveyor section according to the invention.
  • an intermediate treatment of the containers can be carried out in the conveying section according to the invention, for example an intermediate pinning of the printing ink or the application of a best-before date.
  • the funds are fixed compared to the sponsor.
  • hardening and / or sterilization can also take place in the equipment modules.
  • curing and / or sterilization can also take place in a station which is spaced apart (for example by more than one meter) from the modules. In this way, better shielding of the UV radiation can be carried out so that as little UV light hits the printheads as possible.
  • sterilization could be carried out in the station with a liquid or gaseous sterilization medium, such as hydrogen peroxide, which is introduced into the container via a nozzle.
  • a coating of the containers with an adhesive can also be arranged upstream of the printing modules, with which, for example, an adhesive layer is applied to the containers, on which the printing ink is applied, the adhesive strength between the container and the adhesive layer being less than the adhesive strength between Adhesive layer and the print medium.
  • the adhesive layer is such that it can be detached from lye. This is particularly important in recycling, where the ink is to be separated from the container material.
  • the containers are, in particular, PET bottles, in particular disposable PET bottles.
  • Devices for pretreating the containers can also be provided, for example a plasma treatment device with which a thin silicon oxide layer is applied to the outer or inner surface of the container to improve the barrier properties.
  • a container cleaning unit, a conditioning unit, in particular configured for, is also possible as a pretreatment unit Drying and / or temperature control of the container, a surface activation unit, in particular configured to increase the surface energy of the container surface, and / or an electrostatic unit for electrostatically discharging or charging the container surface.
  • pretreatment units or combinations thereof essentially depends on the customer requirements.
  • the units can also be integrated into a modular concept of the device printing devices.
  • These modules can be equipped with the same means of transport as the printing modules.
  • a modular concept for the printing modules and / or pretreatment units is characterized by the fact that additional modules can easily be added or removed afterwards.
  • One point for this can be a uniform handover of the containers between the modules.
  • Even a uniform size of the modules, in particular a uniform diameter in the case of rotating modules, can offer an advantage in a modular concept when installed in relation to one another. It is also thought that each module also rotates at the same peripheral speed. It can also be advantageous for containers to be transferred directly between the modules, that is to say without a further intermediate conveyor.
  • a direct transfer to another can take place Module take place in such a way that a clamp is additionally arranged on at least one module, which can at least temporarily hold or hold the container from the side - especially in neck handling (in the area of the mouth, the containers are usually not printed, which is why the clamp could be used here also stay constantly engaged).
  • the clip can be moved away at the moment of printing or treatment to release the outer surface of the container. This could then be part of an enclosure (see below). The same also applies to a neck handling clip mentioned above, if the container is to be printed in the area of its mouth.
  • the centering heads and the bottom receptacles of the transferring module can be moved apart so far, in particular in the vertical direction, for the transfer of the containers that the centering heads and the bottom receptacles of the receiving module space in between. After moving apart, the container is only held by the clamp of the transferring module until the centering heads and the bottom receptacles of the receiving module are in engagement with the container.
  • clamps can also be arranged on the transferring module and on the receiving module, which grip the containers alternately, for example, above a transport ring and below this ring. The centering heads and the floor mounts of at least one module would still have to be moved apart as just described.
  • the clip in its entirety could be designed to be movable, that is to say telescopic / extendable or pivotable. This could, for example, "drive” the container out of the module pitch circle and transfer it to the next module (either to a clamp there or directly to the centering heads there and the floor mounts). In this way, the stroke of the centering heads and / or the floor mounts would be less. Swiveling or positioning the brackets in the direction of the adjacent treatment position of one or both carousels would also be an option.
  • the treatment positions of the receiving and transferring carousel can be offset by half a division, so that the respective centering heads and the floor mounts of the two carousels mesh with one another - like two gearwheels.
  • a continuous transport of the containers or the container groups takes place in the equipment system at least temporarily and at least in certain areas.
  • a protection or the above-mentioned housing which is essentially sleeve-shaped, can be positioned around each container during printing.
  • the protection can also be formed by a plurality of elements, one element being fixed with respect to the carousel or the turntable and another element being movably arranged for removing the containers from the protection. It can be used to prevent too much pressure mist from being distributed in the machine. In particular, suction is also attached to the protection.
  • the protection in particular prevents air turbulence. If a clip for receiving the container is part of the protection, this has in particular a seal to the clip, specifically at the points where the clip has to be moved to grip the container. Bellows, but also brushes can be used as a seal. In particular, the areas show of the protection a recess for the movement of the clip.
  • turntables for rotating the containers during treatment are connected in particular to servomotors which can set the desired rotational position of the containers relatively precisely.
  • a rotary encoder can also be arranged on the turntable or at least outside the housing of the turntable drive. In particular, it is arranged closer to the container to be printed than the housing of the drive. It would also be conceivable to provide a part of the shaft with a larger diameter and to attach the rotary encoder there.
  • the transmitter detects differently magnetized areas of the wave to be detected, but in certain embodiments it could also work optically.
  • the encoder could also detect the rotational position of the container itself using optical means.
  • blow reference marks into the container contour and / or to print and / or to emboss and / or inject (in the preform, preferably not on the parts that are included in the stretch blow molding process (e.g. the mouth)).
  • Precise positioning is particularly important when using several modules when colors have to be brought into a specific position on the container. If there are slight tolerances, they can add up and the quality of the print suffers even more. In particular in the equipment machine directly after the conveyor section according to the invention, precise positioning can be very useful.
  • a rotary encoder can also be present on at least one equipment device, in particular on a module, with which the rotational position of the equipment device is detected.
  • the recorded values are in particular passed on to a controller and are used to control the print heads or nozzles and / or the turntables.
  • a camera it is possible to determine the current rotational position of a container before or at the beginning of an equipment module. The determined rotational position is evaluated by the control and compared with a target value, which specifies the rotational position in which the equipment or pressure of the container is to begin. The container is then around the respective angle difference from actual to target rotated.
  • a camera can sit in front of or on each individual equipment device, in particular, however, at least at the beginning of the system, in particular also after or at the end of the conveyor section, on which the containers are not decorated.
  • a rotational position of a container during the transfer from one equipment device to the next equipment device can be ensured by a positive or frictional connection, i.e. mechanically, so to speak - for example, by using a slave that moves with the container or by a very precise transfer - it is also possible that the container does not have to be aligned between the equipment devices. Alignment before entering the equipment system can take place, for example, by means of a camera or by maintaining the rotational alignment if the equipment system is preceded by a blow molding machine. In the last option, the rotational position of the containers in a blow mold is predetermined by the location of the containers on the blow mold wall.
  • a print template can be matched to each individual container in the subsequent printing process by scaling the template at least in the circumferential direction.
  • the containers can be transferred, in particular directly, from one print module to the next print module with or without a new orientation of the containers.
  • the printing could start with a different color at a different rotational position along the circumference than the printing in the upstream equipment module has ended or started.
  • the pressure of the downstream module can begin in a different angular range with respect to the container circumference than the pressure in the upstream module has started and / or ended.
  • the area can in particular be more than 5 ° away from one of the two ends.
  • the printhead of a downstream module is exactly 180 ° offset from the printhead of the upstream module in terms of the container.
  • the start of the printing of the downstream module could be offset by 180 ° to the end of printing of the upstream module Module. Alignment could then be dispensed with and process time is saved.
  • the containers can also be rotated in the downstream module at the beginning or end of a print of the upstream module and the printing of the next color can only begin there. It would be conceivable, in principle, to align the container in front of or in a printing module before printing begins so that printing begins at the same rotational position as in the preceding module. This is particularly advantageous if only part of a circumference of a container is to be printed.
  • the downstream module it is also contemplated to continue the print in the downstream module at the edge (end or start) of the print of the upstream module, which can be positioned faster (by the smaller angle of rotation) to the print head of the downstream module during transfer by rotating the container -
  • the pressure is started at the edge, which is located in the circumferential direction closer to the position of the print head of the receiving module after the container has been taken over.
  • the direction of rotation of the container about its longitudinal axis may change during the printing processes of two neighboring modules. This has the particular advantage that the time required for the rotation can be kept very small, which in turn has advantages with respect to the size of the equipment.
  • the position of rotation of the container can also be changed during or after the transfer from one module to the next in such a way that printing generally begins at the same position and the direction of rotation of the container about its longitudinal axis is the same on each module.
  • a change in the orientation of the container is desired in the downstream printing module, this can also be done in the upstream printing module.
  • This can also be regulated depending on the required process angles of the modules. For example, if less color (lower resolution of a color, less angular range in which this color is required) for printing the print template in the upstream Module is required than in the downstream module, the alignment can take place in the upstream module.
  • the location (the module) where the containers are aligned is specified on the basis of the process time required in the respective module. This can be done automatically by recognizing the print template or set manually. Alignment can also be done in two steps by rotating the container on the upstream module only by a part of the required rotation angle after printing and the rest on the subsequent module.
  • a machine guard can also be arranged around the device for equipping the containers, the machine guard having two openings for inserting the containers and for removing the containers.
  • a suction device can be provided within this machine protection which sucks any pressure mist that may arise - this can be attached in particular to the two openings.
  • the machine protection starts especially before the first printing module. If a unit is provided for cleaning or surface treatment of the containers, these are at least partially housed within the protection. This machine protection is to be seen separately from a protection (housing) that is individually assigned to each container, which may also be present.
  • the individual pressure modules can either be driven by a gearbox and a common main drive or have their own motors.
  • the first variant is less expensive, but depending on the gearbox, inaccuracies can occur.
  • the second variant can be designed such that each print module has a direct drive, which means that the drive drives the carousel of the print module without interposing a gear.
  • a magnetically acting drive with a stator and rotor could be provided for this, the stator being arranged on the stationary machine frame and the rotor on the rotating part.
  • the stator and / or the rotor can only extend over a partial segment of the circumference of the module, which is in particular smaller than 90 °. There may also be two such opposing sub-segments.
  • the conveyor section in which the containers are not decorated, is connected to a pressure module via a gear.
  • the conveyor section, in which the containers are not decorated is planned in such a way that it is located near a wall at the installation site (hall at the customer's), which also makes it necessary to change the direction in the main conveyor path.
  • modules can also be firmly connected to one another, that is to say, for example, have a common frame and other modules can be added separately.
  • modules are firmly connected to one another, which are present in almost every printing system configuration. These are, in particular, the direct printing modules, which each apply a color to the container.
  • the colors can be magenta, cyan, yellow, white or black, for example.
  • At least a "skipping" of an area that is not to be printed during printing within a module can be dispensed with if the printing in this area is continuous.
  • the partial print images overlap, in particular completely, so that the respective start and end edges are present at the same circumferential position.

Thereafter, as the rotation continues around the longitudinal axis of the bottle 7, more and more nozzles of the print head 9 slowly switch on from top to bottom (along the print head height) while the bottle is moved upwards.
