Embodiment Construction

[0046] specific implementation plan

[0047] figure 1 An overview according to an embodiment of the invention of a direct printing machine 1 for printing direct stamps on containers 2 is shown in top view. It can be seen that the containers 2 , for example containing fillings and closures, are transferred by means of the infeed star 10 to the conveyor 3 and accommodated there in the container receptacles 4 . In this accommodated manner the conveyor 3 transports the containers past the direct printing station 5 which is incorporated on the conveyor W 、5 C 、5 M 、5 Y 、5 K And in each case printing is carried out by means of the direct printing module 50 in different colors, corresponding here, for example, to a logo comprising white, cyan, magenta, yellow and black. A multicolor direct print is thus produced on the container 2 . The direct print applied to the container is subsequently cured by means of a curing station 8 and thereby permanently stabilized, for example by ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a direct printing machine and a method for printing on containers by means of direct printing. The direct printing machine (1) comprises: a conveyor (3) for conveying a container (2); a plurality of direct printing modules (50, 50', 50") incorporated on the conveyor for printing on the container by means of direct printing (2a, 2b); and an adjustment unit (6) for adjustingthe direct printing modules relative to the container to be printed, wherein the adjustment unit is configured with drives (64) for swinging the respective direct printing modules around a swing axis(S) to match the longitudinal profile (C) of the container, wherein, the direct printing modules each exchangeable as a unit, and wherein, the direct printing modules are each constructed in two parts with a rotary hinge (53) in the middle thereof, such that a print head component (51) having at least one direct print head (58) is swung about the swing axis with respect to an interface component(52) coupled to an ink supply system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a direct printing machine and a direct printing method for direct printing of containers according to the preamble of claim 1 or 13 . Background technique [0002] Containers, such as beverage containers, are often provided with labels in a labeling machine to identify and / or describe the contents of the container. [0003] Recently, however, direct printing machines and direct printing methods are increasingly being used, wherein, as an alternative or in addition to labels, direct printing is also provided for containers according to the inkjet principle. This makes it possible to individually print the containers of the container stream individually. [0004] Such direct printing machines often include a conveyor for transporting the containers and a plurality of direct printing modules incorporated into the conveyor to print direct prints on the containers. The containers are accommodated, for example by means of a conveyo...
