A computer controlled labeling machine (10) is used to apply labels to an article (15) such as a beverage container. The apparatus and methods provide particular advantages for applying stretch labels (203) and/or labels (52) with tactilely sensible indicia (56) such as braille markings, to articles (15). The computer control system (20) provides structure (18 & 31) for controlling the speed and orientation of the labeling apparatus (10), including the vacuum drum (35) the relative speeds of the label unwind roll (92) and label pick-up vacuum drum (35) to thereby control the amount of label stretch, and for timing when the liquid application station (122) applies the liquid to form the tactilely distinguishable markings (56). It also controls timing of the label cutter (521), rotation of the container turret (13) and associated apparatus to provide precise control of the labeling operation.

Cette invention concerne une machine d'étiquetage (10) gérée par ordinateur et permettant d'appliquer des étiquettes sur un article (15) tel qu'un récipient de boisson. Cet appareil et ces procédés offrent des avantages notoires dans l'application d'étiquettes extensibles (203) et/ou d'étiquettes (52) comportant des marques tactiles (56), telles que des marquages en braille, sur des articles (15). Le système de commande (20) par ordinateur comprend une structure (18 & 31) de réglage de la vitesse et de l'orientation de l'appareil (10) d'étiquetage, y compris du tambour à vide (35), des vitesses relatives du cylindre dévideur (92) d'étiquettes et du tambour à vide (35) d'enroulement d'étiquettes, ceci de manière à pouvoir régler l'étirement des étiquettes, et à synchroniser le moment où le poste (122) d'application du liquide appliquera ce dernier afin de former les marquages (56) tactiles distinctifs. Ce système de commande permet également de régler la synchronisation de l'outil de coupe (521) des étiquettes, la rotation de la tourelle (13) du récipient, ainsi que les appareils associés, ceci afin d'obtenir un réglage précis de l'opération d'étiquetage.
