  • Apparatus for marking moving articles
    Patent number: 4635545
    Abstract: Apparatus for marking continuously moving objects, wherein the marking device is caused to move during the marking process. The marking device may comprise a die guided to enable its movement with the object to a determined displacement, or, alternatively, the die may be externally controlled to move, through a given displacement, at the speed of the object.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 13, 1987
    Assignee: American Can Company
    Inventors: Edward F. Kubacki, John M. Masciale
  • Method for stamping indicia on materials
    Patent number: 4592668
    Abstract: In a marking system for stamping materials such as aluminum strip, a pulse of determined energy is supplied to a solenoid, to impart a determined kinetic energy to a die. The die is guided to dissipate substantially all of this kinetic energy in the deformation of the material being stamped. The pulse of energy applied to the solenoid may be controlled by a programmable computer, programmed to control the duration of time that a current is applied to the solenoid. The computer may control a plurality of such solenoids, controlling the times and relative numbers of operation of each of the solenoids.
