Embodiment Construction

[0060] figure 1 A schematic diagram of an apparatus 1 for printing containers 10 according to the invention is shown. In this way, the container 10 is delivered by the delivery device 52 and unloaded by the unloading device 54 . Furthermore, the device 1 has a carrier 24 which rotates about an axis of rotation D and which is a component of the conveying device 2 . The carrier is provided with holding means 22 for holding the containers 10 to be equipped (only one is shown in the figure). In addition, the printing units 4, 6, 7 are arranged on the carrier frame 24, but only three of the equipment units are shown in the figure. Reference numerals 14 , 16 , 17 relate in each case to a control device for controlling the printing units 4 , 6 , 7 .

[0061] figure 1 The illustrated embodiment includes a printing unit which performs direct printing on the container 10 . In this case, the printing units 4 , 6 , 7 can have a plurality of printing heads, for example three printing ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for printing objects, especially containers (10), wherein the containers (10) are conveyed along a specific conveying path (P) and the outer surface of the containers passes through at least one printing unit (4, 6, 7) is at least temporarily printed, wherein the control device (14, 16, 17) controls the printing of the container (10) by the at least one printing unit (4, 6, 7) based on at least one printing parameter. According to the invention, at least one object (10) to be printed is printed with at least one test mark in order to determine said printing parameters, and the object with said test mark is subsequently detected by at least one detection device (8), wherein The printing parameters are derived from the detection results.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for printing containers. Background technique [0002] Devices and methods for labeling containers are already known in the prior art. More recently, however, it has shifted to direct printing or multicolor printing on containers. Such apparatus and methods for printing containers are known in the prior art. For example, a device and a method for equipping containers are described in the as yet unpublished German patent application No. 102014112484.7. [0003] This application in particular addresses the problem of how to detect such directly printed containers and how to react to a corresponding detection of the containers. Therefore, according to this application, quality control is employed in production, and the printing quality is occasionally visually controlled. However, this direct printing machine has no front control, but at most uses different color methods (such as: additive or su...
