摘要:
The present invention relates to a registration system for labels in labelling machines, in order to provide the correct positioning of a label on an object, namely on a container. The registration system for the label adjustment in a labelling unit comprises optical sensing means (6), encoding means (7) and a computing and control system, and provides for a first stage of setting, in order to identify in the label a reference region, and a second stage of processing comprising reading the position of a processing region of the labels in a label film (3) corresponding to the said reference region and controlling an operation of the labelling unit as a function of the position read for the said processing region, and it provides for the following steps : reading one or more test labels in the label film (3), preferably the heading one or more labels of the said film (3); selecting part of or the whole region of the printed matter of said one or more test label as a reference region that functions as a virtual mark of the label, wherein the said selection is made on the basis of the maximization of the signal-to-noise ratio or of a contrast measure; reading a subsequent processing label; - Computing the length of the processing label under examination as the distance between a processing region and the reference region of the one or more test labels.

An apparatus (1) and a method for feeding a continuous tape (3) for forming labels (2) is disclosed, according to which a pair of rollers (5) advances the tape at an advancing speed that is calculated on the basis of the rotation speed of one cutting roller (6) that cuts the tape into labels, (2) at a signal that is indicative of the cut that occurred and at a positioning error of an actual image present on the tape with respect to a reference image. The real image is detected by a linear camera (9) or by a matrix camera.

Apparatus and methods for filling a prescription order with plurality of products each containing a pharmaceutical. The apparatus and method verifying a barcode on each of the products and printing and applying a patient label with a verified barcode to each of the products. After the patient label is applied, the barcodes are independently verified before the products are released.

The invention concerns a method for applying radio frequency identification transponders (14) on packaging sheets (120'), the sheets being obtained by cutouts at intervals D in a strip (120) of packaging material. The method is characterized in that said transponders (14) having been previously mounted on a support (20) consisting of thin strips of soft material with at least one transponder between each interval D, the intervals being defined by marks (26) on the support, said support (20) is set on the strip (120) of packaging material in the longitudinal direction such that the transponders (14) are placed on the strip according to said interval D, the transponders (14) are secured to the material, and the strip (120) of packaging material is cut out into packaging sheets (120') with respect to said marks (26). The invention also concerns the transponder support (14). The inventive method provides the advantage of a simple, efficient and economical setting of transponders on a sheet such as corrugated board, for example on a corrugating machine.

An applicator (2) for use in applying labels adhered to a release liner (8), the labels (24) being in the form of a roll (6). The applicator (2) comprises a body (4) having a trigger (10) and a roll holder (11) for supporting the rolled release liner, an indexer (30) for positioning labels (24) of varying pitch in the applicator (2) and stripping labels from the release liner (8), and applicator assembly (2) for applying the labels positioned by the indexer (30), and a friction drive (32) responsive to the trigger (10) for advancing the release liner (8) through the applicator assembly (2). The applicator (2) includes a label holder (50) which holds the label (24) after the label (24) is completely stripped from the release liner (8), the label holder (50) is positioned so the label (24) protrudes from the body (4).

Linerless labels are cut or burst from a web (W) by passing the web (W) through infeed and outfeed pairs of rolls (12, 14; 30, 32) with a separator device located therebetween. Each roll pair includes a friction surface for engaging the slick smooth surface (S) of the web and another roll with a silicone elastomeric or plasma-coated surface for engaging substantially without gripping the exposed adhesive side (A) of the linerless label web (W). In the cutting mode, a rotary blade severs (42) the web against a fixed blade (40) to form the label. The infeed rolls (12, 14) are backed up after each cut to break the adhesive bond between the web (W) and the fixed blade (40) and then reverse to advance through the cutting position and into the outfeed rolls (30, 32) for a subsequent cutting operation. The outfeed rolls (30, 32) continue to advance the cut linerless label to a receiving station. In a bursting mode, the web (W) is perforated and a roller breaker bar (80) is disposed between the infeed and outfeed rolls (12, 14; 30, 32) to break the web (W) along the perforations to form the linerless label.
摘要:
An improved package labeling apparatus of the type in which labeling information for a package (73) which is moving to a labeling station (51) is transmitted to the labeling station to control the application of the required label (191). The improvement comprises a carriage mounted printer-applicator assembly which responds to the labeling transmission, prints the label, moves to intercept the moving package and applies the label.
