Patent number: 10449757Abstract: A processing unit for rotational processing includes at least two processing cylinders and a machine frame. A first processing cylinder is movably mounted in the machine frame, a second processing cylinder is stationarily mounted in the machine frame and a pair of support members is provided for each respective processing cylinder. A respective support member of the second processing cylinder has a solid joint, a manipulator and an annular segment attached to the solid joint and contacting one support member of the first processing cylinder. A solid joint is linearly displaceable by the manipulator and an annular segment is linearly displaceable therewith. A gap dimension between the processing cylinders can therefore be adjusted in a simple, accurate manner with precise repeatability. A label printing machine having the processing unit is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: Gallus Druckmaschinen GmbHInventor: Dieter Bangel

Patent number: 9688061Abstract: A device for punching labels from a substrate web having a carrier layer and a label layer includes a punching installation for punching labels. The punching installation has a delaminating installation for separating the label layer from the carrier layer, a metallic non-suction revolving counterpunching belt for conveying the label layer during a punching operation, and a relaminating installation for reconnecting the label layer, provided with punchings, to the carrier layer. A method for punching self-adhesive labels is also provided. In this way, a thin carrier layer can be used, and it is ensured that the carrier layer is not damaged during punching.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2014Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Gallus Druckmaschinen AGInventors: Andreas Boedeker, Dieter Bangel
