摘要:
A mold is provided for forming caps for closing containers by compression molding doses of plastic material, where a bottom wall of the cap, or at least one portion of the bottom wall is very thin. The mold includes two half-molds axially movable towards each other which assume an end closed position without a dose. A tubular element is slidable around the second half-mold and partially defines the cavity. The tubular element contacts an axial abutment of the first half-mold at one side and an axial end stop of the second half-mold at the other side to prevent hard contact between the half-molds.

An inspection method (2) is provided for inspecting a sheet in a press (1), wherein the press (1) comprises a punching unit (4) which is suitable for receiving a sheet (2) provided with a plurality of printed portions (3) arranged in a regular manner according to a printing pattern and for cutting the sheet in dwell steps thereof, separating into several steps a plurality of printed discs. The method comprises: - providing abutting means (22, 23, 24) arranged upstream of the punching unit (4) to receive the sheet (2) to be cut and adjust the position of the sheet (2), - advancing in a first direction (Dl) the thus adjusted sheet (2) to the punching unit (4) to obtain the plurality of printed discs; - processing at least one acquired image of the sheet (2) to detect an arrangement of the printing pattern in the sheet (2); - comparing the detected arrangement of the printing pattern with a nominal arrangement of the printing pattern to obtain a shift of the printing pattern in the sheet (2) with respect to said nominal arrangement; - acquiring at least one image of the sheet (2) upstream of the abutting means (22, 23, 24) during advancement of the sheet (2) in a second direction (D2). To detect said arrangement of the printing pattern the method further comprises: - identifying a top edge (2a), a bottom edge (2b) and a side working edge (2c) of the sheet (2) and further identifying a top graphic mark (20), which is arranged in a top corner (18) defined between the top edge (2a) and the side working edge (2c), and a bottom graphic mark (21) which is arranged in a bottom corner (19) between the side working edge (2c) and the bottom edge (2b); - calculating a longitudinal shift and a top side shift of the top graphic mark (20) and a bottom side shift of the bottom graphic mark (21); and wherein said adjusting the position of the sheet (2) in said abutting means (22, 23, 24) comprises translating and/or rotating said sheet (2) as a function of said longitudinal shift, and/or said top side shift and/or said bottom side shift to position said printing pattern in said nominal position so as to obtain in said punching unit (4) printed discs in which each printed portion (3) is arranged in a desired position.

An apparatus comprises transfer means (4) rotatable at a speed (v) to transfer a dose of plastics from supply means (2; 2a; 2b) to forming means (5) of said dose, control means that is suitable for varying said speed (v) in a substantially continuous manner between a minimum value and a maximum value being associated with said transfer means (4).
摘要:
A method of embossing a crown cap comprises the steps of : detecting a pre-printed drawing on the bottom of the crown cap, varying the angular positioning of the crown cap so as to position the drawing according to a preset positioning, and impressing a raised/recessed pictogram on the bottom of the crown cap. The pre-printed drawing and the embossed pictogram will have a desired reciprocal position.
