Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the print heads in such direct printers typically must always be adapted to different container sizes
The disadvantage is that due to the high demands placed on the quality of the direct printing, the individual print heads must be adjusted relative to each other with correspondingly high precision

Embodiment Construction

[0051] figure 1 A top view of an embodiment of a direct printer 1 for printing containers 2 is shown. It can be seen that the containers 2 are transferred by means of the infeed star 6 to the conveyor 3 configured as a carousel. The conveyor 3 is configured to transfer the containers 2 in the container accommodating portion 4 along the transfer path T. As shown in FIG. It can be seen that each container receptacle 4 is associated with a printing station 5, each printing station 5 comprising several independently adjustable direct print heads 51 for several partial printings of the container 2, for example using a plurality of printing colors . Furthermore, each printing station 5 is associated with its own respective inspection device with a camera 52 . For example, the direct print head 51 and the camera 52 are arranged on both sides of the transport path T to face each other here. As a result, the direct print head 51 can print on one side of the container 2, and the cam...

Abstract

The invention relates to a direct printing machine (1) for printing containers (2), comprising a conveyor (3) for transporting the containers (2) in container receptacles (4) along a transport path (T), and a plurality of printing stations (5) respectively assigned to the container receptacles (4). Said printing stations each have a plurality of direct printing heads (51) that can be adjusted separately for printing a container (2) with a plurality of partial printings (21) of a direct printing. The direct printing machine is characterized in that to each of the printing stations (5), a dedicated inspection device having at least one camera is assigned in order to control the position of the partial printings (21) on the container (2).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a direct printer having the features of the preamble of scheme 1 and a method for printing a direct imprint to a container having the features of the preamble of scheme 15 . Background technique [0002] It is known to provide direct imprinting of containers, such as bottles or cans, with unique identification marks for the contents of the container, using multiple direct printing heads to spray inks of different colors directly onto the container in several processes. The containers are conveyed in the container receptacle of the conveyor to print and apply surface prints using the direct print head. Such a direct printhead is, for example, an inkjet printhead having a plurality of nozzles which are typically arranged in one or more rows on the direct printhead. For surface printing, a rotational movement of the container with the container receptacle about its own longitudinal axis and / or a pivoting movement of the d...
