  • Patent number: 10287123
    Abstract: An assembly for feeding backing ribbon for adhesive labels for labeling products to be labeled, comprising a splicing device and at least two supporting elements for the backing ribbon, the splicing device being intended to perform on command the splice between a first splicing region, formed on a first backing ribbon being unwound from a first supporting element, and a second splicing region, formed on a second backing ribbon wound on a second supporting element, the first backing ribbon supporting a plurality of adhesive labels which are arranged, mutually spaced, on the face directed toward the second splicing region; the first backing ribbon having, when associated with the respective first supporting element, at least one portion that is free from self-adhesive labels and forms the first splicing region; the portion is located substantially at the end of the first backing ribbon that is associated with the first supporting element.

  • Publication number: 20180186491
    Abstract: A method of labeling products includes providing a labeling machine, performing on command, by a splicing device, a splicing between a first splicing region, obtained from a backing ribbon being wound onto a first winding element, and a second splicing region, which is formed on a connection element that is connected to a second winding element, cutting on command, by a first cutting device, said backing ribbon at the portion that extends between said first splicing region and the backing ribbon wound onto the first winding element, and continuously splicing the backing ribbon of the adhesive labels unwound from the feeder spools and of the backing ribbon being wound onto the winding elements, cutting said backing ribbon, by a first cutting device, simultaneously or after the splice between said first splicing region and said second splicing region on the part of said first splicing device, and labeling said products with said labels.

  • Publication number: 20160159600
    Abstract: An assembly for feeding backing ribbon for adhesive labels for labeling products to be labeled includes a splicing device and at least two supporting elements for the backing ribbon. The splicing device is intended to perform on command the splice between a first splicing region, formed on a first backing ribbon, and a second splicing region, formed on a second backing ribbon. The first backing ribbon supports a plurality of adhesive labels which are arranged, mutually spaced, on the face directed toward the second splicing region. The first backing ribbon has at least one portion that is free from self-adhesive labels and forms the first splicing region; the portion is located substantially at the end of the first backing ribbon.

  • Publication number: 20160152369
    Abstract: A labeling machine having a feeder assembly for a backing ribbon that supports a plurality of labels, includes an assembly for applying the labels on the products to be labeled, and an assembly for taking up the backing ribbon. The feeder assembly includes at least two feeder spools and a device for the automatic splicing of the backing ribbons. The takeup assembly includes a first cutting device, a first splicing device and at least two winding elements. The splicing device is intended to perform the splicing between a first splicing region and a second splicing region, the first cutting device being intended to cut the backing ribbon at the portion that extends between the first splicing region and the backing ribbon wound onto the first winding element.

  • Publication number: 20130001349
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an unreeling assembly, particularly for labeling devices, comprising a supporting frame for at least two reels of continuous film which are supported by a respective reel support, which can be actuated to rotate about an unreeling axis of the reel by a respective servomotor, and a motorized traction drum, which is designed to unreel the continuous film from one of the at least two reels of continuous film, between the reel of film being unreeled and the traction drum there being at least one element for tensioning the continuous film, the tensioning element being movable, with respect to the supporting frame, along a respective movement path, characterized in that it comprises control elements which operate on the servomotor and are adapted to control the position of the tensioning element along the respective movement path.
