Patent

CA 2464492

The invention relates to a device and a method for labelling objects, in particular food packages. The device comprises a printer, in particular a thermal--direct printer or thermal-transfer printer for printing labels; an application device for applying a printed label to the object to be labelled; and at least one working device, arranged upstream of the application device, in the form of a weighing device, a packaging device, and/or a transport device for the objects to be labelled. In order to prolong the service life of the print head and to improve the print quality, the provision of a measuring and control device is proposed which for each object to be labelled determines the printing time that is available for printing the label to be applied to each of said objects, taking into account the required working time of the working device/s, and which measuring and control device, depending on the printing time determined, controls the printer such that printing of the label is completed within the available printing time at a matching printing speed, which is as slow as possible.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif et un procédé pour étiqueter des objets, notamment des emballages de produits alimentaires. Ledit dispositif comprend une imprimante, notamment une imprimante thermique, un système d'application conçu pour appliquer une étiquette imprimée sur chaque objet à étiqueter, ainsi qu'au moins un système de travail situé en amont du système d'application et se présentant sous forme d'une balance, d'un dispositif d'emballage et/ou d'un dispositif de transport pour les objets à étiqueter. Afin d'augmenter la durée de vie de la tête d'impression et d'améliorer la qualité d'impression, le dispositif selon cette invention est équipé d'un système de mesure et de commande qui détermine pour chaque objet à étiqueter le temps d'impression à disposition pour l'impression, en tenant compte du temps de travail nécessaire au/aux système(s) de travail, et qui commande l'imprimante de façon que l'étiquette soit imprimée à une vitesse la plus faible possible.
