Embodiment Construction

[0029] Fig. 1 shows that the printing head 1 can be substantially, for example, on the bottle-shaped container B, i.e. especially on the belly (printed image surface F B ) and neck (printed image surface F H ) on the printed position. Container B is positioned, for example, on turntable 2 during printing (see Figure 3a with 3b ), the turntable rotates container B during the printing process. On the printed image surface F B or / and F H A printed image D is applied to the surface of container B in the area of ​​. The position of the print head 1 is determined automatically by means of positional coordinates and angular position from the shape and position of the container B sensed with the help of a camera or image processing device, which then communicates to the print head 1 via the control device A corresponding alignment signal is transmitted. The printed image surface F of the container B may be at a different height than the turntable 2 so that the print head 1 is ...

Abstract

The invention relates to equipment for printing on containers, such as bottles, having a printed design (D) on at least one printing machine having at least one print head (1), and is characterised in that the at least one print head (1) is automatically adjustable by means of an electrical controller. An adjustment value from the controller moves the print head (1) according to spatial co-ordinates and / or an angular position into a position that is determined or calculated by means of a measuring device having e.g. sensors from the surface contour and the position relative to the print head (1) of the container (B) to be printed upon.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for printing a printed image (text and / or pattern) on at least one printing press having at least one printing head on containers, such as bottles, for example, and a method for carrying out the printing. Background technique [0002] It is known to label containers and packages such as bottles so that consumer information can be attached. It is also known to use inkjet printers to apply markings or other information to packaging, which allows for a personalization not possible with label printing. This printing system works monochrome and is limited to a few printed dots / lines. [0003] Furthermore, known work in progress are printing methods and systems that can achieve printing up to 174mm width per printhead using printheads from different manufacturers. These print heads also work in the case of monochrome, in the case of multiple colors a plurality of print heads must be arranged one behind the other and suitab...
