Printing of Cardboard Boxes with Marker Correction
If the boxes are not always transported at the
exact same distance from each other, markers will
be required that can recognize a box and correct
the synchronization.
The following section describes how you can adapt
the curve of the previous example to this
application.
Again, a roller is supposed to stamp an inscription
with a length of 10 cm on cardboard boxes. A
maximum of 60 boxes are transported on the con-
veyor belt per minute. During the printing opera-
tion, both the stamping roller and the box must run
in sync.
How to Edit a Curve for Synchronization with Marker
1. Steps 1 to 9 are the same as in the previous example.
10. Define the point pairs for the engaging and
disengaging in the list
o
Start-Stop Points
. We
make the assumption that engaging takes
place at the beginning of the box and disenga-
ging is to take place until the end of the box.
11. In the index card
o
Curve Data
, determine the position in which the roller should stop if no other
Slave
Stop Position
is defined in the program.
The roller always needs to return to the position 0 degrees:
o
Slave Stop Position
= 0
12. The photoelectric beam (external marker) has a distance of 237.5 mm from the processing point
(= stamp touches the cardboard box) and detects the beginning of the box (corresponding to master
position 1000). The marker distance is therefore 2375. Enter this value in the index card
o
Synchronization
and define the permitted tolerance for the appearance of the markers and the
external marker type = 2 for the master.
