    摘要: Hot foil stamping machine stamping a foil onto a substrate, which improves stamping quality under changing conditions, includes a control unit for controlling the temperature of the stamping interface surface to a predefined desired temperature. The control unit receives at least an actual temperature of the heating plate from the at least one temperature sensor and provides a manipulated variable to the at least one heating device. Further, the stamping machine includes a state observer for estimating an actual temperature of the stamping interface surface of the at least one stamping plate based on a physics-based analytical model of the heat transfer between the heating plate and the stamping plate. The control unit also includes a feedback controller for calculating the manipulated variable for a heating device based on the predefined desired temperature and the estimated actual temperature of the stamping interface surface provided by the state observer.

    摘要: A foil transfer apparatus includes a support base on which a transfer object can be placed, a transfer tool including a pressing body to press the transfer object and a thermal transfer foil, to apply light to the thermal transfer foil, and to be movable in a transfer region having a rectangular or substantially rectangular shape in plan view, a pressing body moving mechanism to move the transfer tool relative to the support base, a detection jig detachably attachable to the support base, to overlap the transfer region in plan view when attached to the support base, and to be used to detect whether the pressing body is present or not, and a controller to control the transfer tool and the pressing body moving mechanism.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for cutting, printing or embossing a continuous sheet of material. The apparatus comprises a tool element, at least two anvils, which are co-operable with the tool element, and a phase adjustment device. The tool element is configured to have a constant surface speed during operation of the apparatus. The apparatus is adapted to receive the continuous sheet at a constant speed into the apparatus, and being adapted to output the continuous sheet at a constant speed from the apparatus. The phase adjustment device is operable to adjust a speed of the continuous sheet within the apparatus in order to adjust a phase of alternate parts of the continuous sheet to be cut, printed or embossed by each anvil as it co-operates with the tool element.
